The original People's Tribunal held at Columbia Law School in January 2012,  focused on human rights abuses against Libya, Cote d'Ivoire, Zimbabwe, Haiti, and Black people in the United States.  The Jurists will hear developments in these nations and critique the response of the ICC to the indictment to date. The people's prosecutors will also investigate the ICC's collaboration in the West's re-colonization of Africa and African people. "Malcolm X taught us that our struggle is not only on a local level or a national level. Ours is an international struggle inextricably tied to African people on the continent and the Diaspora.  We are committed to exposing western political and economic racism and all of its inhuman atrocities. This 2nd International People's Tribunal will put the ICC itself on trial," states Roger Wareham, Esq., Secretary General of the International Association Against Torture [IAAT-AICT]. Sponsors are the December 12th Movement International Secretariat, International Association Against Torture, Pan African Solidarity Hague Committee, and Africans Helping Africans.
