NAIROBI/AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - Judges at the International Criminal Court on Friday excused Uhuru Kenyatta from "continuous presence" at his impending trial for crimes against humanity, a move analysts said would prolong the Kenyan president's co-operation with the court.
African leaders, noting the ICC has brought cases only against Africans, had called on the Hague-based court to postpone the trial, due to start next month, and on Kenyatta not to attend. Western states had urged him to cooperate with the ICC.
