Where was ICC when Libya was attacked? Rwabwogo asks

Oct 23, 2016

His remarks come following the recent withdraw from ICC by South African Government

Uganda's re-known entrepreneur and business man Odrek Rwabwogo has blamed the International Criminal Court for failing to bring to justice the countries and individuals that were behind the attack of Libya that later led to its collapse.

Rwabwogo who also doubles as the NRM ideology trainer, said there hasn't been follow up on Libya attackers by ICC

Speaking to journalists on the sidelines of the Lubaga leaders NRM ideology orientation meeting in Bugolobi Kampala on Saturday, he said  ICC has failed to perform its mandate of justice but instead focused on African leaders and little European countries.

"Its mandate is to end impunity and establish the rule of law all over the world but has concentrated on Africans only and less important European countries. Have the attackers of the middle east countries been brought   to justice,"Rwabwogo wondered.

His remarks come following the recent withdraw from ICC by South African Government. South Africa mid this week withdrew from the court following the dispute last year over a visit by the Sudan President Omar Bashir. This makes it the second country this week to pull out, after Burundi filed to leave on Tuesday.

South Africa argues that a commitment to the peaceful resolution of conflict through dialogue involves hosting foreign leaders on its soil - including at times, ones who has run afoul of ICC.

Rwabwogo said:

"When cases are brought to African Union, they can be handled with the same voice in a local way".

He however, said, African bodies should make sure that they have the capacity to handle these cases.
