Mr. Akaki accused the ICC of running expensive show trials of ‘actors’ in human rights abuses in an effort to protect and divert attention from the real pro-western war crimes suspects like Honsi Mubarak of Egypt, Meles Zenawi of Ethiopia, General Museveni of Uganda, and many others.

To prove his point, Akaki alleged that the ICC had spent billions of dollars on much-publicised but fruitless efforts to try former Liberian President Charles Taylor and Congolese warlords Thomas Lubanga and Pier Bemba. He also said huge amounts of money are still being spent in efforts to arrest top Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) commanders and their leader Joseph Kony, as well as Sudanese President Omar el Bashir.

Akaki also asked the participants at the conference to contrast these efforts with the ICC’s total silence on both the 2002 and 2010 UN reports which indicated that both Rwandan and Ugandan troops had committed war crimes and crimes against humanity during their illegal occupation of the Democratic Republic of Congo from 1998-2003.

He further accused the ICC of ignoring widespread reports including a BBC news report which indicated that Congolese government troops were killing civilians, destroying property, and raping women in Eastern Congo.

With specific reference to the ICC’s efforts to arrest and prosecute top LRA leaders for alleged war crimes, Akaki turned the tables on the ICC in front conference delegates and accused it of undermining reconciliation efforts in Africa. He cited the northern Uganda peace negotiations in Juba-Southern Sudan where, as a result of the ICC’s involvement, LRA leader Joseph Kony abandoned the peace talks with the government of Uganda and fled to Central African Republic (CAR).

This was after the ICC, working hand in hand with the government of Uganda, had ignored repeated calls from among others religious leaders from northern Uganda to be allowed to promote peace and reconciliation through the traditional Acholi “Mato Oput” method.

As a direct result of that, Akaki emphasised, the LRA is not only wrecking havoc in CAR, but it is also likely to come back to Uganda after the 2011 which he says are going to be massively rigged by what he called “President Museveni’s handpicked personal Electoral Commission”.
