Thomas,
The ICC is a treaty-based court that exercises jurisdiction over crimes falling within its mandate by state parties, at their own invitation, through proprio muto interventions by the Prosecutor or referrals by the Security Council in the exercise of its Chapter VII authority and the ICC statute. Cameroun is not a state party to the Rome Treaty that created the court. In this case, only the Security Council can make a referral of a case against LRC. It is only the Security Council that may make a referral in the cases of countries like LRC which has not signed unto the Rome Treaty and is thus not a state party. In the exercise of these methods of access to the court, deference as a matter of law must be paid to the principle of complementarity.
Thanks.
Chief C.Taku

I am worried when I got this statement today from Aljazeera that the Moslem Brotherhood had sued the Government of Egypt at the ICC.
My question here is directed to Chief Charles Taku and all the legal minds that are involve in the Southern Cameroons struggle.
How did the Moslem Brotherhood manage to reach at the doors of the ICC?
Did they use another Country to reach there or what?
why is it that we Southern Cameroonians cannot also use those same avenues as did the Moslem Brotherhood to sue LRDC also?
Thank all and may God continue to bless us all
