South Africa Supports Kenya’s Bid for Deferral in the Security Council

February 8, 2011

Vice President Kalonzo Musyoka speaking in Parliament on Tuesday February 8, 2011 defended his shuttle diplomacy to convince African States to support Kenya’s bid for a deferral of the two pending ICC applications for summonses.

He told Parliament that South Africa, which is currently a member of the UN Security Council, will support Kenya’s bid when it comes before the Council.

The next several stops of this shuttle diplomacy, the Vice President told Parliament, were going to be to the permanent members of the Security Council.
