BN: Waki Envelope Opened By Ocampo

The Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) Luis Moreno-Ocampo received in The Hague six boxes containing documents and supporting materials compiled by the Commission of Inquiry into the Post-Election Violence (known also as the Waki Commission), and an envelope with a list of persons who could be implicated in the violence.

The Prosecutor opened the sealed envelope, examined its content and resealed the envelope. “The content of the envelope will remain confidential, there will be no leaks,” the Prosecutor said”. The Waki Commission provided the names of a number of individuals and justifications for an investigation. I am grateful to Kofi Annan and Justice Waki for transmitting this information and for their contributions to our common goal in fighting impunity. My Office will continue the collection of information, and I will reach an impartial conclusion as to whether or not to investigate those individuals or others, or none.”

Afterwards, the material was stored in a secure vault, where it will remain. It will be registered and processed for analysis by the Prosecutor’s Office.

“There is a consensus that there will be no impunity for the crimes that have been committed,” the Prosecutor stressed, “this is the only way to prevent the commission of new crimes during the next elections.” he said. “The main responsibility now lies with the Kenyan government.”

The International Criminal Court is an independent, permanent court that investigates and prosecutes persons accused of the most serious crimes of international concern, namely genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes.
