If ICC were what it ought to be, I would probably support them on the Kenyan case.
If ICC had cases on US nationals, Israelis, Brits ect, to demonstrate their impartiality and blind application of the law, then they would convince me.
If US ratified the ICC charter,- that would give the court a boost in credibility.
If US wasnt practising HYPOCRISY on ICC, may be I would view the court defferently!
If in the Kenyan case ICC's Ocampo had gone for the real culprits with the GREATEST RESPONSIBLITY maybe I wouldnt be in doubt.
If only Ocampo had handled the case in a judicious way and generally in a manner devoid of politics and unnecessary chest thumping and threats of setting example of us....
The above not withstanding, Kenya Govt is RIGHT to fight to take control over the prosecution of crimes commited on Kenyan soil by Kenyan citizen.
If the Kenyan Govt took any other position, then they would need to relinguish power on account of abdication of basic responsibility, and wishing away our SOVEREIGNTY.
It is one thing to try and fail and quite another to just resign to fate!!!
Even cronically ill people are taken to hospital knowing all to well that they may lose the fight for their life.
