Govt makes fresh bid to contest obligation to work with ICC


The country has made a fresh bid to contest its obligation to cooperate with the International Criminal Court (ICC), this time by going after former ICC prosecutor Fatou Bensouda’s preliminary examination, which wrapped up well after the country officially withdrew from the Rome Statute in March 2019.

Over the weekend, the Office of the Solicitor General (OSG) filed its submission to the court’s Appeals Chamber which is currently deliberating on whether to allow prosecutor Karim Khan to resume his probe into the alleged crimes against humanity committed in the government’s war on drugs.
