National Council of Churches of Kenya

participants at a forum in Cheptiret, North Rift

In the quest to demystify the International Criminal Court, diffuse tensions and promote coexistence the National Council of Churches of Kenya in collaboration with the ICC office in Kenya has been holding grassroots forums across the Country. 

In the Forums NCCK and the ICC officers have been training locals on the ICC and peace implications in specific high risk areas. 

To enhance a greater understanding of the Court's operations, the NCCK has now translated a description book of the Court into different languages. These include Kikuyu, Kalenjin and Luo.

The books are being distributed to the locals to ensure they have a clear understanding on the working of the Court including its jursidiction, mandate and operations.

NCCK hopes that through this we can diffuse any political undertones that may create inter-community conflict and disharmony even as the ICC process continues. As the ruling of the Cases against Kenya nears NCCK hopes that the grassroots leaders trained will be key in promoting peace and coexistence.
