Kenyan Finance Minister Uhuru Kenyatta and two officials appeared at the International Criminal Court in a hearing to confirm charges of crimes against humanity committed during violence after the 2007 election.
“The confirmation of charges hearing is neither a trial before trial, or a mini-trial nor a first-instance court,” Presiding Judge Ekaterina Trendafilova of Bulgaria said. Its goal is to determine “whether there’s sufficient evidence to establish substantial grounds to believe that the suspects committed the crimes charged.”
