“They looked at his identity card and shot him dead” Six months of post-electoral violence in Côte d’Ivoire 57 key elements of any such body should be in its publication, Truth, justice and reparation: Establishing an effective truth commission.54 At the international level, on 4 December 2010, Fatou Bensouda, Deputy Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) publicly stated that: "All acts of violence will be carefully monitored and scrutinised by the office of the prosecutor to determine whether crimes within the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court have been committed and should warrant an investigation”. On 6 April 2011, Luis Moreno Ocampo, ICC prosecutor, indicated his intention to open an investigation into crimes committed in Côte d’Ivoire , but Amnesty International is concerned that this statement only mentions “the deteriorating situation in Ivory Coast including recent information about alleged mass killings in the Western part of the country."55 This statement might suggest that the ICC investigation would be limited to the post-electoral human rights violations and abuses committed since December 2010, thereby ignoring all the other crimes committed since 2002, including crimes of war and crimes against humanity. This initiative of the prosecutor of the ICC was supported by President Ouattara who, on 13 April 2011, officially requested an ICC investigation into the massacres that occurred in the west of the country at the end of March 2011. Again, Amnesty International is concerned that the ICC investigation might be limited to some massacres in the west of the country while not dealing with the very serious human rights violations and abuses committed since the September 2002 coup attempt. On 25 March 2011 the UN Human Rights Council established an international Commission of Inquiry to investigate “the facts and circumstances surrounding the allegations of serious abuses and violations of human rights committed in Côte d’Ivoire following the presidential election of 28 November 2010”.56 This Commission went to Côte d’Ivoire on 3 May 2011 and should carry out its activities there until 27 May. The report of the Commission of Inquiry is scheduled to be presented to the 17th session of the Human Rights Council, probably during the week of 6 June 2011. The UN Security Council has requested the UN SecretaryGeneral to transmit the report of the Commission of Inquiry to the Security Council and other relevant international bodies.57 The UN High Commissioner for Human Right is also to report to the 17th session of the Human Rights Council about the situation of human rights in Côte d’Ivoire.58 Index: AFR 31/002/2011 Amnesty International May 2011
