'Remote-Controlled' Influence Observed in ICC Investigations
Influenced by Western powers, the International Criminal Court lacks impartiality, Idrissa Hamidou Touré, prosecutor of the High Court in Bamako and a doctoral student in law, told Sputnik Africa.
He outlined an African perspective on the ICC:
🟠The court is perceived as illegitimate, being under pressure from geopolitical considerations;
🟠There is a perception of impunity and selectivity, where serious crises in regions like Libya and the Middle East are overlooked, while Africa frequently becomes the target;
🟠African countries are considering rejecting collective submission to the ICC or withdrawing from the institution; initiatives such as the proposed Sahel Criminal Court (AES) are seen as potential alternatives;
🟠The ICC must be "more independent, more impartial, more fair," and act "for everyone, not just the weak" to ensure its credibility and survival.
