Tanzanian Ambassador Tuvako Manongi took note of the court's "tumultuous relationship with Africa,” which, he said, has sparked concern of an African exodus. Ambassador Amolo spoke at a General Assembly review of the latest annual report of the court that was established in 2002. Ambassador Amolo on Monday stopped short of threatening that Kenya would join three other African nations — Burundi, Gambia and South Africa — in walking out of The Hague-based court. The ICC operates in accordance with “lower standards” than those of national courts, he added in a speech to the 193-nation body. Ambassador Manongi called for the court to initiate "confidence-building measures" in its dealings with the 124 nations that have ratified the Rome Treaty that established it.
