Man, oh man, this is a slippery slope we have found ourselves sliding down.
After South Africa’s Justice Minister Michael Masutha announced that we were to leave the International Criminal Court on Friday, Burundi followed suit on Saturday.
And now, Kenya has done the same. More from iol:
The Kenyan cabinet is finalising a decision to leave the ICC after the country was criticised for prosecuting President Uhuru Kenyatta, his deputy William Ruto and four other leaders for the 2007 post-election violence. The case crumbled before the ICC last year and the Kenyan leaders were acquitted.
Last year there was a dispute about Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir visiting South Africa despite his being the subject of an ICC arrest warrant over alleged war crimes.
The process takes one year to come into effect and the ICC has already asked both South Africa and Burundi to reconsider.
Let’s just hope the DA has some sway over this in the ConCourt over all this nonsense.
