Buhari In Trouble: Is This The End of the road? by Here2BustnScrew: 9:49pm On Feb 07, 2015
The International Criminal Court (ICC) said on
Monday it would prosecute any Nigerian
political actor linked to the commission of
violence before, during and after the
country’s general election.
ICC, in a statement issued by its Prosecutor,
Fatou Bensouda, urged parties to the peace
accord signed recently in Abuja to abide by
their commitment to maintain peace.
Bensouda noted that the ICC has jurisdiction
over Rome Statute crimes committed on the
territory of Nigeria or by Nigerian nationals
from July 1, 2002, onwards.
He said crimes under the jurisdiction of the
ICC had already been committed in this
context, as reflected in a preliminary
examination report published by his office in
December 2014.
The ICC prosecutor said a team from his
office was on its way to Nigeria prior to the
elections to further engage with the
authorities and encourage the prevention of
crimes.
Part of the statement read: “On February 14
and 28, Nigerians are set to participate in
general and state elections in the Federal
Republic of Nigeria. “Nigerian presidential
candidates and political leaders recently
signed a pact committing themselves, their
parties and their followers to refrain from
violence before, during and after these
elections. I urge them to consolidate this
commitment.
“At a time when abhorrent levels of violence
already plague parts of the country, I recall
that the ICC has jurisdiction over Rome
Statute crimes committed on the territory of
Nigeria or by Nigerian nationals from 1 July
2002 onwards.
“Crimes under the jurisdiction of the ICC have
already been committed in this context, as
reflected in my pffice’s preliminary
examination report published in December
2014. Further analysis is on-going to
determine the next steps that my office
should take in accordance with its duties
under the Rome Statute.
“Experience has shown that electoral
competition, when gone astray, can give rise
to violence and in the worst case scenarios,
even trigger the commission of mass crimes
that ‘shock the conscience of humanity.’
“Any person who incites or engages in acts
of violence including by ordering, requesting,
encouraging or contributing in any other
manner to the commission of crimes within
ICC’s jurisdiction is liable to prosecution
either by Nigerian courts or by ICC.
“No one should doubt my resolve, whenever
necessary, to prosecute individuals
responsible for the commission of ICC
crimes.”
