This paper examines how the International Criminal Court (ICC) cases against the Kenyan leaders named as being behind Kenya's 2007–2008 post-election violence have affected the debate on the court as an institution of global justice. The author argues that Kenya has attempted to politicize these trials as it alleges that prosecuting sitting heads of state obstructs the running of the state and efforts to secure regional peace. She also says these attempts have been partially successful, and have opened up many questions about the future of the ICC.
