ICC Functions With Western Bias & Selective Justice; Africa Needs Economic Independence: Politician
"The ICC [...] has not been very independent. It looks like ICC has a big brother who calls on him or her to be able to punish or not punish other countries," Kenyan presidential aspirant Professor Fredrick Ogola told Sputnik Africa.
Prof. Ogola highlighted the racial imbalance within ICC structures:
"If you go to the border, you go to the council of ICC; it is very white. You go to the prosecutor's bench, it is very white. But if you go to the prosecuted, it is very black."
The Uzima University Deputy Vice Chancellor identified economic dependency as Africa's fundamental vulnerability, arguing that "capitalism sometimes reigns over justice" when Western financial interests are at stake.
"Africa cannot be respected until they respect themselves and love each other," he emphasized, calling for unified African positions on international justice rather than reliance on external institutions.
While acknowledging human rights violations require addressing, Professor Ogola maintained that justice must be delivered impartially.
"Is ICC taking care of the issues globally without any bias? That also should be the ICC being questioned."
