“President-elect
Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy, William Ruto, who are being sworn in April 9,
2013, should ensure full cooperation with theInternational Criminal Court (ICC), Human
Rights Watch said today. Their new government should also uphold and protect
the bill of rights in Kenya’s constitution, Human Rights Watch said.
“Kenyatta and Ruto should be held to their promises to attend their trials before the ICC,” said Elizabeth Evenson, senior international justice counsel at Human Rights Watch. “As president of an ICC member country, Kenyatta should also ensure that his government provides the cooperation it owes the ICC and the support it needs. Victims of Kenya’s post-election violence and their families have already waited more than five years for justice.””
