ICC States President Day 2/ Au Summit

News just in from the African union summit in Ethiopia indicates that AU ministers have resolved to support Kenya’s bid to have the post-election violence cases at the Hague deferred. This comes as sources reveal President Kibaki has defended efforts to canvass for AU support during his meeting with the visiting president of the ICC assembly of state parties. Kibaki is said to have told Christian Wenaweser that Kenya is well within her rights in international law to lobby the AU and the UN to have the ICC cases put on hold.
