Fatou Bom Bensouda ( /fɑːˈtuː/ /bɛnˈsoʊdə/; née Nyang; born 31 January 1961) is a Gambian lawyer and international criminal law prosecutor.
I do not think that it is right for me to start giving opinions about the human rights situation of any country, including Gambia, except when those crimes translate into the crimes that I have to investigate.
I am an African and I am very proud of that.
What offends me the most when I hear criticisms about this so-called Africa bias is how quick we are to focus on the words and propaganda of a few powerful, influential individuals, and to forget about the millions of anonymous people who suffer from their crimes.
I am a victim-oriented person. I like to see that the victims know that they have a voice.
I am working for the victims of Africa, they are African like me. That's where I get my inspiration and my pride.
Has the international criminal court avoided opening an investigation into alleged war crimes in Gaza due to political pressure. The answer is an unequivocal “no”. As prosecutor of the ICC, I reject any suggestion of this in the strongest terms.
I think my track record speaks for myself. . . I have been endorsed by the African Union, but I am a prosecutor for 121 states parties and this is what I intend to be until the end of my mandate.
