On November 26, 2013, Trial Chamber V(b) of the International Criminal Court reconsidered [3] its previous decision excusing the accused from continuous presence at trial in the Prosecutor v. Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta case in light of an October 2013 Judgment [4] of the Appeals Chamber on the same issue in the Prosecutor v. William Samoei Ruto and Joshua Arap Sang case.  According to the press release [5], the majority, Judge Eboe-Osuji dissenting, held that “as a general rule, Mr Kenyatta must be present at trial,” and that “any future requests to be excused from attending parts of the trial will be considered on a case-by-case basis.”  Mr. Kenyatta is charged with five counts of crimes against humanity (murder, deportation or forcible transfer, rape, persecution, and other inhumane acts) allegedly committed during the post-election violence in Kenya in 2007–2008.
