IJCentral: International Justice Central

Officials from the International Criminal Court are in the country to get opinions and views of the victims of the post election violence to see whether the cases required the full investigations by the ICC or not. Last month, ICC Prosecutor Louis Moreno Ocampo formally requested the International Criminal Court judges to authorize investigations into the violence. As per the Rome statute, victims of the violence have been given 30 days to send their views to the judges, although this does not entail submission of evidence as the court is yet to give permission for the commencement of the investigations.
