Is the International Criminal Court still relevant?
The International Criminal Court is facing one of its biggest existential crises.
Earlier this month, the Court dropped its case against Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta; he had faced crimes against humanity for allegedly orchestrating violence after a 2007 presidential election.
And in the wake of the Kenyatta development, Uguandan President Yoweri Museveni called on African leaders to quit the Court all together.
But Senegalese Justice Minister Sidiki Kaba remains a defender of the Court, telling CNN's Christiane Amanpour that it has a "preventative" effect.

Ugandan President Museveni says his party is ‘having very intensive internal discussions’ about anti-gay bill
By Madalena Araujo, CNN
Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni told CNN’s Christiane Amanpour on Tuesday that his party is discussing the anti-gay law that was scrapped in August.
“We are discussing that issue among ourselves in our party, and when we decide how to move we shall inform the public. We are discussing it internally within our party.”
Uganda’s anti-gay bill was signed by Museveni into law in February but has since been annulled. It defined homosexual acts as crimes punishable by life in prison and drew a huge amount of condemnation within the country and worldwide.
Musevini said he “did not sign the bill” when it was initially passed by Parliament, but “later on,” he explained, “I signed it because of some provocations from outside, because we didn't like lectures which were emanating from certain quarters.”
At the time, a defiant Musevini told CNN that "if the West doesn't want to work with us because of homosexuals, then we have enough space here to live by ourselves and do business with other people."
Kidnapping children for battle, from Nigeria to Uganda
By Mick Krever, CNN
They come in the night.
Armed militants take young children from their beds, as they sleep: Young recruits for extremist causes.
It happened this week in Nigeria, when heavily armed Boko Haram Islamists kidnapped 200 girls from their boarding school.
And it has been happening in northern Uganda, Democratic Republic of Congo, and other neighboring countries for decades – the work of Joseph Kony and his Lord’s Resistance Army.
CNN’s Christiane Amanpour covered Kony’s sick work 16 years ago, for 60 Minutes, when she reported on the abduction of 139 girls from their school.
She spoke with their teacher, Sister Rachele Fassera, who begged for the children’s return.
“He bent down and on the ground he wrote, ‘The girls are 139. I will give you a 109.’ He wrote, ‘I keep 30,’ Sister Raquelle told Amanpour at the time.”
“I knelt in front of him,” she said. “And I said, please give me all the girls. He said, ‘No.’ [crying] Then they started, ‘Sister, they will rape us tonight. Sister, will you come back tonight?’”
“That was the last time I saw them.”
How American evangelicals may be responsible for Uganda’s anti-gay law
While Ugandan President Museveni accuses the United States of trying to import social imperialism into Uganda by defending homosexual rights, who do you think is behind some of the anti-gay hysteria in Uganda right now?
A group of evangelical Christians from that very same hotbed of social imperialism: the United States of America.
Museveni on Monday signed into law a bill that toughens penalties against gay people and defines some homosexual acts as crimes punishable by life in prison.
Roger Ross Williams belonged to an organization called International House of Prayer in Missouri, whose missionary zeal fell on gays in Uganda. He decided to make a film about what he learned called “God Loves Uganda.”
Someone like evangelist Scott Lively is “an extremist in America,” Williams said, “but when he goes to Uganda he gets taken seriously because of what he represents.”
“He’s an American evangelical, and what an American represents in a place like Uganda – it represents power and wealth.”
Some gay Ugandans would rather die than live under new law
By Mick Krever, CNN
Some gay people in Uganda would rather kill themselves than live under that country’s new anti-homosexuality law, signed today by President Yoweri Museveni.
“People are afraid of losing their lives,” Ugandan gay rights activist Pepe Julian Onziema told CNN’s Christiane Amanpour on the phone from the capital, Kampala.
“Prior to the bill becoming law today, people attempted suicide because they are like, ‘I’m not going to live to see this country kill me – so I would rather take my life.’”
Homosexual acts had already been illegal in Uganda, but the new law signed by Museveni toughens penalties against gay people and makes some homosexual acts crimes punishable by life in prison.
Many who fear violence have already fled the country for the “nearest border,” Onziema told Amanpour.
