The ICC Chief Prosecutor Louis Moreno Ocampo has formally issued a notice to the victims of the 2007/2008 post election violence in Kenya that they can now write to the Courts pre-trial chamber giving their views on whether the court should allow investigations into the Kenyan cases.. The ICC prosecutor is signaling his intention to proceed with haste in the Kenyan situation. While maintaining that there was reasonable basis to proceed with investigations into the cases of crimes against humanity that occurred in the post election period, Ocampo in a notice issued this evening from the Hague said the victims or their lawyers have 30 days starting 23rd November to write to the pre-trial chamber with their opinions on whether the investigations should go on or not.
