PM says government will continue membership of international criminal court despite MPs passing a motion to pull out. Last Modified: 24 Dec 2010 09:02 GMT | ||
The Kenyan prime minister has said that his government is opposed to leaving the International Criminal Court (ICC), and that trials of high-profile suspects involved in the country's post-election violence in 2007 will go ahead at The Hague. Some politicians want the suspects to be tried in local Kenya courts. On Wednesday, Kenyan members of parliament passed a motion urging the government to withdraw from the Rome Statute that established the ICC. An ICC trial may destabilise Kenya's fragile coalition, formed by Mwai Kibaki, the president and prime minister Odinga. The coalition is designed to end bloodshed that followed the disputed presidential polls of December 2007. | ||
