This could lead to the indictment of Laurent Gbagbo, his despotic predecessor, whose refusal to cede power after losing an election led to hundreds of deaths. African despots, past and present, several of whom have happily cocked a snook at the court, may be viewing it more nervously. Their countries' refusal to sign up to the ICC, set up in 2002, does not put them beyond its reach. The court's statutes let it prosecute people for suspected genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes committed in any member state when that state is "unwilling or unable" to do so. Hitherto, this has usually been done at the request of the state itself, as in Uganda, the Central African Republic (CAR) and Congo. But it can also investigate atrocities in non-member states at the request of the UN Security Council, if deemed to threaten regional or international peace and security.
