Abstract
The relationship between Kenya and the ICC is not an international relationship in the traditional sense. It is rather a devolved relationship. We could brand the ICC mediocre, unfair and irrelevant; a Western tool for manipulation, but we freely signed and ratified the Rome Statute. Withdrawing from the ICC now in the midst of the process would be a misadvised step, legally and politically.
