Abstract: Kenya’s government is obliged to cooperate fully with the ICC in investigations and prosecutions of crimes within its jurisdiction. The ICC does not have its own police force and so the cooperation of states is essential to the arrest and surrender of suspects. When a state fails to comply with a request to cooperate, the court may refer the matter to the Assembly of States Parties for further action (ICC article 112 Rome Statute, 2002). The assembly is made up of representatives of all states which are party to the Rome Statute, and acts as an oversight body for the (ICC Article 112 Rome Statute, 2002). However the intrigues in national and regional and international political circles, alliances in the international arena and theatrics in and out of the ICC seems to have ushered in an epoch of writing history, a new page in diplomacy and international relations among nation states. It is against this backdrop that this paper seeks to examine The effect of ICC Jurisdiction on National Interests in Kenya.
