Fatou Bensouda - Prosecutor, International Criminal Court

Duration: 30 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC News Channel HDLatest broadcast: on BBC Parliament

Zeinab Badawi speaks to the prosecutor at the International Criminal Court, Fatou Bensouda. The recent release of Saif Al-Islam Gaddafi by the Libyan group holding him has led the ICC in The Hague to demand his arrest. He has been indicted by the Court for alleged crimes against humanity, murder and persecution.

The ICC was set up in 2002 as a court of last resort to try such individuals. But it has met a barrage of criticisms, principally that it has an anti-African bias, because only Africans have been convicted and nearly all the cases before it are from the continent. What does Fatou Bensouda, a lawyer from Gambia, say in the Court's defence? Show less
