President Alassane Ouattara today said he would "not send any more Ivorians" to the International Criminal Court in The Hague, where his longtime rival Laurent Gabgbo is currently on trial over deadly violence sparked by disputed 2010 polls.
Speaking during a meeting with his French counterpart Francois Hollande in Paris, Ouattara said Ivory Coast now had "an operational justice system".
More than 3,000 people were killed in five months of unrest after the 2010 presidential polls, when ex-leader Gbagbo refused to concede defeat to Ouattara. None of Ouattara's supporters have so far been charged by the ICC.
