ICC Has Become a Political Tool for ‘Lawfare’ Against Inconvenient Leaders: Kenyan Lawyer The court has been weaponized to pressure leaders who defy Western interests, Kenyan lawyer Ahmad Abdulaziz Kadhi told Sputnik Africa. Those with "different political ideologies" are targeted, while Western‑friendly figures are let off the hook, he noted. "If they are not representative of us, then we have no business with them. We have no business being subjected to bodies that do not reflect us," Kadhi argued. Without truth and equal accountability, he warned, the ICC becomes "irrelevant.""We have to form alternative systems. We have seen that the systems that we have been having have been abused," the lawyer concluded. Subscribe to @sputnik_africa Sputnik Africa | X
