Somalia: Government rejects the idea of creation International court

Somalia’s fragile government has rejected the idea of creation international tribunal to try Somali pirates.

The Netherlands proposed Friday the creation of an international tribunal to try Somali pirates.

Mohamed Abdulhahi Omaar, Somalia’s foreign minister said that his government did not request the creation of international tribunal and the most countries in the world were not satisfied of the idea.

Omaar said they have requested the suspected Somali pirates to be tried in Kenya temporarily until Somali government builds its court.

The minister disclosed that there were foreign ships fishing illegally and dumping toxic wastes in the coast of Somalia.

He attended a conference that took place in New York which was discussed the problems of the piracy and how they could be dealt on land.
