Options have run out for the jubilee indictees. The signs are on the wall. Christmas will be a trying time for them. The knowledge that your court date is inevitable despite your having spent millions to evade it must be a truly sinking feeling. Whats worse, you are guaranteed to have fewer friends in the new year. The AU goons you convinced to go yelling in Addis Ababa have become wiser. Here is the thing: you cannot amend the rome statute through the backdoor. The rules are subordinate to the statute, and must be interpreted in line with it. In case of conflict, the statute SHALL prevail. That is the law!!! All those delegates know that is the law, but they wanted to be seen to be listening tp your concerns. Having seen how naively expectant you were, they went with the flow. This is about inter-state relations. They are playing good cop. The judges have a different mandate. They simply interpret the law. And the law says you must be present at trial, finish and klaar. Even your stooge Miguna magunia has now conceded that you are clueless in matters ICC. I dont know how you thought that Amina Mohamed and Githu could assist you. They are used to doing divorce and land cases in kenyan courts. on the international stage, you need sharper brains. Good luck.
