C\u00f4te d’Ivoire’s President Alassane Ouattara has asked the International Criminal Court (ICC) to open an investigation into the violence that swept the country following the disputed November election.<\/p>\n

Ouattara sent a letter, dated 3 May, to ICC President Luis Moreno-Ocampo asking the court to investigate “the most serious crimes committed since 28 November 2010 throughout the Ivorian territory”.<\/p>\n

ICC Chief Prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo has said his office is preparing to launch a formal investigation into mass killings which allegedly took place in the west African country.<\/p>\n

There were reports of a massacre of several hundred people in Du\u00e9kou\u00e9, in the west of the country, in the fighting that followed November’s presidential election.<\/p>\n

The UN, the African Union and the European Union all recognised Ouattara as the rightful winner.<\/p>\n

However, incumbent Laurent Gbagbo refused to leave office and was captured following heavy fighting in Abidjan on 11 April.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for Ouattara said “there is no longer any impunity in Ivory Coast”.<\/p>\n

“Reconciliation demands that justice be done. Without truth or justice there is no reconciliation,” she said. “This shows Ivory Coast has entered a new era.”<\/p>\n
