    Bureau du Procureur Office of the Prosecutor The Post‐Election Violence and Mediation 1. The announcement of the results of the 27 December 2007 general election in Kenya triggered widespread violence, resulting in the deaths of over a thousand people, thousands of people being injured, and several hundreds of thousands of people being displaced from their homes. 2. On 28 February 2008, international mediation efforts led by Kofi Annan, Chair of the African Union Panel of Eminent African Personalities, resulted in the signing of a power‐ sharing agreement between Mwai Kibaki as President and Raila Odinga as Prime‐Minister. The agreement, also established three commissions: (1) the Commission of Inquiry on Post‐Election Violence (CIPEV); (2) the Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Commission; and (3) the Independent Review Commission on the General Elections held in Kenya on 27 December 2007. 3. On 15 October 2008 CIPEV‐ also known as the Waki Commission, published its Final Report. The Report recommended the establishment of a special tribunal to seek accountability against persons bearing the greatest responsibility for crimes relating toe th 2007 General Elections in Kenya, short of which, the Report recommended forwarding the information it collected to the ICC. Efforts to Establish a Local Tribunal 4. On 16 December 2008, President Kibaki and Prime Minister Odinga agreed to implement the recommendations of the Waki Commission and specifically to prepare and submit a Bill to the National Assembly to establish the Special Tribunal. Yet, on 12 February 2009, the Kenyan Parliament failed to adopt the “Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill 2009” which was necessary to ensure that the Special Tribunal would be in accordance with the Constitution.

  • OTP Weekly Briefing 6‐12 April – Issue #32
    Le Bureau du Procureur The Office of the Prosecutor OTP Weekly Briefing 6‐12 April – Issue #32 THIS WEEK’S HIGHLIGHT PREVIEW: OTP ADOPTS ITS POLICY PAPER ON VICTIMS’ PARTICIPATION ‐ Prosecutor sends notification letters to States 12 April ‐ The OTP adopted its policy paper on victims’ participation under article 68(3) of the Parties on Kenya Rome Statute. A draft version of the paper was circulated for comments in the OTP Weekly investigation, page 3. Briefing #16, 1‐7 December 2009, and finalized after the Office had the opportunity to review inputs received. Consistent with the Prosecutorial Strategy, the Office’s policy papers are publicly disseminated in order to promote understanding and predictability of its activities (for other policy papers see the Court’s website). The present paper aims to ensure a clear and consistent approach of the Prosecution in its activities, legal submissions and positions on victims’ participation under article 68(3), building upon the experience of the activities of the Office in recent years. The Office believes that victims bring a unique and necessary perspective to the activities of the ICC and contribute to fair and efficient trials. Under the Rome Statute, victims are actors of international justice rather than its passive subjects. As such, the Office considers that procedures for implementation of their rights must be defined in a clear and consistent manner. “The role of victims under the Rome Statute may take various forms, from sending information directly to my Office to participating in specific proceedings,” said the Prosecutor. “While implementation will vary according to circumstances, it is important to clarify that participation is a right under the Statute and not a privilege bestowed upon victims on an ad hoc basis.
