Inner City Press reports that France's Ambassador to the UN Jean-Maurice Ripert said the Security Council could suspend ICC arrest warrants for top LRA leaders for months or a year "if the government pursues its own tribunal or...traditional pursuits." According to the agreements in Juba, the Ugandan government will approach the UN SC after a final deal is signed to get suspension of indictments (Article 16 of Rome Statute). "I'm not saying we'd support it," France's Amb. Ripert said. However, the willingness of the UN SC to even discuss the issue is a show of their flexibility if in fact the LRA is truly committed to disarming.
