Africa to support Burundi and international investigations

African nations have initiated a strategy at the United Nations, which critics say is the last minute step to protect Burundi from further investigation of humanitarian crimes.

Burundi On September 25, the United Nations investigative commission appealed to the International Criminal Tribunal for ICC to investigate cases of humanitarian crime in Burundi. Casualties such as murder, torture, sexual harassment, severely assaulted and robbery, have been continuing since April 2015 after President Nkrunziza's entry into power for the third phase, according to a report released earlier this month.The United Nations Human Rights Council was expected to uphold the European Union's resolution today to increase the authority of the UN investigating commission that said the top officials of Burundi should be responsible for the country's evil.But the group of African states, led by Tunisia, summoned its meeting on Wednesday and made a clear resolution, which praised Burundi for expressing the intention of negotiating and collaborating with the United Nations, without discussing anything about the re-establishment of the investigation.Burundian ambassador Renovat Tabu claimed that the UN commission of inquiry was favorable and his reports on conflicts and evil did not reflect the reality.The commission wants the ICC to enter in with the Burundian constitutional amendment.At a meeting on Monday in Brussels, his president Fatsah Ouguergouz said that if the Burundian government would not be able to talk about crime, then the issue would have to be handed over to other institutions. And the only institution that can work is ICC.Ambassadors from the European Union, the United States, Norway, Switzerland, Canada and the UK refused to negotiate the resolution of the African National Congress and to express the irritation of only 24 hours before the council began to make decisions on the resolutions of the Union while the permanent session three weeks after it's over.Representatives of the European Union said the situation in Burundi is still volatile and is likely to continue to occur in the horrible visa of human rights violations.The United States representative said the sudden move of Burundi's desire to co-operate, when it was initially refusal to work with the UN investigative commission, seemed to begin no more than three days ago. "I think this conversation will continue, but on the other hand I do not think we can accept less than one percent of the year's evidence to reflect what might happen," he told the meeting.The African Union's mandate to investigate Burundi reflects the continuation of African leaders' actions to curb serious issues from the United Nations, and especially the International Criminal Court, the ICC in The Hague.
