The International Criminal Court (ICC) "no longer has any authority and is doomed to disappear one day," Gilbert Collard, a former member of the European Parliament and a lawyer, told Sputnik Africa.
"It is in the hands of political interests, which means that we cannot give this institution any judicial credibility," he stated, adding that "the idea itself was a good one."
The ICC has "privileged targets" and prosecutes on a case-by-case basis, Collard said, stressing that its prosecutor general "is a highly controversial figure himself."
"So, in my opinion, it is an institution that should either be abolished or completely overhauled," he stated.
