That jurisdiction has been in place since January 1, 2009, when the International Crimes Act, 2008 became effective.
We, the undersigned, call on the ICC to drop all the charges facing Uhuru Kenyatta, William Ruto and Joshua Sang at the International Criminal Court.This is because Kenya's High Court under Section 8 of the International Crimes Act has the jurisdiction to conduct trials over persons who are responsible for international crimes committed locally or abroad by a Kenyan, or committed in any place against a Kenyan.
This jurisdiction has been in place since January 1, 2009, when the International Crimes Act, 2008 became effective.
