Prosecutors investigating war crimes will try from Tuesday to convince the judges of the International Criminal Court (ICC) to bring to justice a former Central African militia leader they accuse of attacks against Muslim civilians.
This year's annual meeting of States Parties opens on Monday 5 December in The Hague. The triple combination of the war in Ukraine, the unprecedented involvement of states in the situation, and the zero-increase policy of previous years, leaves the International Criminal Court hoping for a 20% increase in its budget. In other words, an additional 30 million euros.
For the first time, the International Criminal Court is dealing with crimes allegedly committed by the ‘Seleka’ rebel forces who pushed then president François Bozizé out of office and installed Michael Djotodia as president of the Central African Republic in 2013. Mahamat Said trial opened on September 26 and 12 prosecution witnesses have testified so far. 80% of them will be anonymous and the trial, again, invisible.
