HARDtalk’s Zeinab Badawi speaks to the Prosecutor at the
International Criminal Court, Fatou Bensouda. The recent release
of Saif Al-Islam Gaddafi by the Libyan group holding him has led
the ICC in The Hague to demand his arrest. He has been indicted
by the Court for alleged crimes against humanity, murder and
persecution. The ICC was set up in 2002 as a court of last resort
to try such individuals. But it has met a barrage of criticisms,
principally that it has an anti-African bias, because only
Africans have been convicted and nearly all the cases before it
are from the continent. What does Fatou Bensouda, a lawyer from
Gambia, say in the Court's defence?
