UN-Africa relations strong: Mr Ban
Lazarus Sauti
United Nations Secretary
General Ban ki Moon has dismissed the notion that there is increased tension
between the UN and Africa stemming from the slow pace of Security Council
reforms and disagreements over how to proceed over Kenya’s trials at the
International Criminal Court (ICC).
He said the relationship
between UN and Africa is a strong partnership in which Africa remains the
number one priority for the UN.
Moon
also said, “The ICC is an independent international justice organisation whose
work and mandate is distinct from that of the UN and their mandate and
principles should be fully upheld and respected.”
