Pan-African parliament president renews rejection of ICC procedures against Sudan

Xinhua, May 25, 2016 Adjust font size:

President of the Pan-African Parliament Roger Nkodo on Tuesday renewed rejection of the procedures of the International Criminal Court (ICC) against Sudan and the injustice it is exercising against African countries.

Addressing a parliamentary gathering in Khartoum Tuesday, Nkodo said Africa is one block in its rejection of the ICC procedures against Sudan.

He said Africa does not need the ICC which exercises "selective justice", noting that Africa needs African justice.
