The International Criminal Court is swearing in Gambian war crimes lawyer Fatou Bensouda as its new prosecutor.
Bensounda replaces Luis Moreno-Ocampo in a job that has become one of the most prominent in international law over the past decade. She will be tasked with trying to bring to justice alleged war criminals including Uganda's Joseph Kony, Libya's Seif al-Islam Gadhafi and Sudanese president Omar al-Bashir.
Court President Sang-Hyun Song oversaw Bensouda's acceptance of the prosecutor's duties in a courtroom in a suburb of the Hague, Netherlands, on Friday.- Sapa-AP
