Excitement over Annan move to hand over secret envelope
Posted Thursday, July 9 2009 at 20:28
US ambassador Michael Ranneberger said the move underscores the international community’s commitment to ending impunity in Kenya.
He said by phone from the US that his government “fully’’ supports Mr Annan.
“That is the right thing to do and actually adds pressure on the government to speedily form the local tribunal.
“It also gives a two-tier parallel impetus to the process as we still want Kenya to form that local tribunal,” Mr Ranneberger said.

This church org has a misconstrued conception of what Kenyans want. Justice is justice as long as the criminals are tried. We don't care whether it is in Kenya, at the Hague, or in the suspended air, the victims need to get their day in court and that means the accused being tried, full stop. There is likely to be injustice done to the victims with a local tribunal being that it is restrained by the political elite (accused and their friends and family) as compared to ICC

The local tribunal would actually be a great option, because this time around, Mr Okampo would be looking over their shoulder, while ICC would be on standby. It would not be bussiness as usual with the local tribunal, as all the small fish would now be netted.
