"African leaders have come to the consensus that the process the ICC is conducting in Africa has a flaw. The intention was to avoid any kind of impunity in governance and crime, but now the process has degenerated into some kind of race hunting.
"If you take the example of Kenya, the indictment has come because of the clashes between the two tribes, the Kalenjin and the Kikuyu, but these two clans they came together, and almost 100% elected the president and vice president. What do the ICC need then?
"The ICC has to see to it that it shouldn't chase Africans. Out of those people who have been indicted by the ICC, 99% are Africans. So this shows that there is something flawed within the system of ICC, and we object [to] that."
--African Union (AU) Chair and Ethiopian Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn, May 27, 2013, Addis Ababa
