Annan says some Kenyan big men to face ICC

Former UN chief Kofi Annan said that International Criminal Court (ICC) trials are needed for leaders of last year's post-election violence in Kenya alongside a local tribunal for lesser offenders. Annan led last year's talks to end the violence that killed at least 1,300 people and uprooted another 300,000. He has said that Kenyans want to see concrete action. Let me stress here that it is not either a local tribunal or international criminal court. It is both, both are needed. Kenyans have welcomed the involvement of the ICC and the government has assured me that it will collaborate with the court, said Annan.
