The United Nations Security Council refused to delay the International Criminal Court trial of Kenya’s president, Uhuru Kenyatta, and his deputy for crimes against humanity on Friday.
An African sponsored resolution calling for the delay of leader’s trial was voted down at the security council with the U.S, Britain, France, Guatemala, Argentina, Australia, Luxembourg and South Korea abstaining.
The director of international justice at Human Rights Watch, RIchard Dicker told press,
“The council did the right thing by not halting these trials, ensuring that victims get their day in court.”
