proud
I am an African and I am very proud of that.
country thinking rights
I do not think that it is right for me to start giving opinions about the human rights situation of any country, including Gambia, except when those crimes translate into the crimes that I have to investigate.
party thinking track
I think my track record speaks for myself... I have been endorsed by the African Union, but I am a prosecutor for 121 states parties and this is what I intend to be until the end of my mandate.
cases targeting victims
We say that the ICC is targeting Africans, but all of the victims in our cases in Africa are African victims.
