Tanzania is reviewing its membership in the Rome Statute after renewed calls for the International Criminal Court (ICC) to investigate violent attacks on opposition supporters during October’s post-election protests. President Samia Suluhu Hassan has formed a national commission to verify victims and examine the unrest. Critics across Africa argue the ICC disproportionately targets African leaders, prompting regional alternatives like the Sahel International Court and renewed debate over whether Tanzania should pursue African-led justice systems.
