Charges terminated : March 13, In December , the prosecutor requested that six individuals be summoned to appear before the court in two separate cases. The remaining four accused were divided into two separate cases. The first case involves two members of the Orange Democratic Movement ODM , the opposition party at the time of the elections, and case two involves two members of the Party of National Unity PNU , then the incumbent party.

The prosecutor has brought charges against Ruto and Sang, members of the ODM at the time of violence, for the crimes against humanity of murder, forcible transfer, and persecution, allegedly committed against supporters of the PNU. The prosecutor also brought charges against Francis Muthaura and Uhuru Kenyatta, members of the PNU at the time of the violence, for the crimes against humanity of murder, forcible transfer, rape, persecution, and other inhumane acts allegedly committed against ODM supporters, partly in retaliation against attacks against the PNU supporters.

The charges against Muthaura were withdrawn in March The charges against Kenyatta were withdrawn in December , terminating the case before the trial chamber. This allowed the court jurisdiction over war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide committed by Kenyan nationals or on Kenyan territory after July 1, — the date that the Rome Statute entered into force.

However, the ICC only has jurisdiction in cases where the government proves unwilling or unable to investigate and prosecute those crimes. The Waki Commission published a report recommending that the government establish a special tribunal of national and international judges to investigate and prosecute perpetrators of the post-election violence.

However, it was made clear that if the tribunal was not set up within a certain period, information collected by the Waki Commission would be passed to the ICC, including a sealed envelope of names of those suspected to be most responsible for the violence. In February , the Kenyan parliament voted against a bill to establish the special tribunal, and no further action was taken by the government.
