KAMPALA — A senior Ugandan opposition leader Thursday lobbied the International Criminal Court's chief prosecutor to investigate Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni for war crimes.
Olara Otunnu, who heads the Uganda People's Congress, called Museveni's hosting of the ICC's ongoing review conference "a mockery of the Rome Statute (and) a moment of great shame," for the court.
"At my meeting with (ICC prosecutor Luis Moreno) Ocampo I asked him to investigate Yoweri Kaguta Museveni in connection with crimes of war, genocide and crimes against humanity," Otunnu told journalists after the meeting.
