Working closely with Africa legal aid ICC through Ocampo helped to bring human right a reality here in Africa by strengthening the judicial organization like women group.

There were arguments that the many cases that were being deiced in ICC were only from Africa and not any other place. This made people to lose trust in him as they thought he was biased. The African leaders also thought that Ocampo was corrupt (Bosco, 2011) and does not arrest warlords. This has made the leaders think that he only after African cases.
