There has been tension between African States and the ICC regarding the indictment of African leaders.
It is reported that the Assembly of the African Union has adopted a resolution calling on all African States not to cooperate with the International Criminal Court on these cases.
The African Union (AU) has accused the International Criminal Court (ICC) of âhuntingâ Africans because of their race.
On September 6, 2013, a majority of Kenyas National Assembly voted in favor of a motion, urging the government to "urgently undertake measures to immediately withdraw" the influential East African nation from the Rome Statute which established the International Criminal Court (ICC).
The decision to pull out of the International Criminal Court has reinforced Sudans anti ICC stand. Sudan has accused Hague of partiality and injustice for the baseless charges.
ICCs miscalculation and misjudgement will destabilize the situations in Kenya following the fabricated charges against the President elect and his deputy.
As a result, the differences between the Sudanese government and Darfur rebels have increased and chances for peaceful settlement have faded away since UN Security Council refereed the case to ICC according to resolution 1593.
According to Sudan Safari, the African countries are to hold emergency meeting to explore new measures to withdraw from ICC and Rome statute. The action is only a matter of time.
The current charges against the Kenyan President and his deputy tend to blackmail the Kenyan officials and undermine the democratic process and governance.
The charges will encourage Kenya to withdraw from Rome statute establishing ICC along with other countries.
If they do, ICC will lose about 40 African countries. This means that ICC is no longer acceptable body.
The mass withdrawal will lead to shut down of the court which has never prosecuted western countries, prompt other states in Asia for example to flow suit and force Security Council to stop issuing resolutions referring some cases to ICC to prosecute.
