Ethiopian Foreign Minister Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said the court was targeting Africa and Africans. The two-day summit comes as Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta is due to face trial at The Hague next month. He denies charges of organising violence after the 2007 elections. He, along with some other African leaders, argue that a serving president should not be made to face trial. The ICC has rejected a previous request that he be allowed to give evidence by video link.

His deputy, William Ruto, faces similar charges, which he also denies. His trial was postponed for a week last month to allow him to return home to help deal with the terror attack on the Westgate shopping centre. 'Like Hermann Goering' Mr Tedros, who is the current chairman of the AU's Executive Council, said the ICC was 'condescending' towards the continent. 'Far from promoting justice and reconciliation. The court has transformed itself into a political instrument targeting Africa and Africans.
