Ghanaians' ICC Petition Over Migrant Attacks 'Opportunistic', Says South Africa The International Criminal Court (ICC) has been inundated with petitions in recent years, but few have sparked as much debate as the one filed by two Ghanaian nationals over violent attacks on migrants in South Africa.
The petition accuses the South African government of failing to prevent and punish those responsible for the violence, which has resulted in several deaths and left hundreds displaced.
South Africa's foreign ministry dismissed the petition as "opportunistic," claiming that the ICC has no jurisdiction in this matter and that the country's own legal system is capable of handling it.
