Fatou Bensouda revealed that her time as chief prosecutor at the ICC was marred by intimidation and threats, particularly tied to sensitive investigations involving war crimes.
Bensouda recalled facing direct threats to her personal safety and that of her family while leading investigations into politically charged cases, including those involving Israel and the US.
Despite the pressures and threats from various parties, Bensouda maintained that such tactics did not deter her or her team's commitment to pursuing justice.
Bensouda's work was under intense scrutiny, particularly after she initiated inquiries regarding potential war crimes committed by both Israel and the US, marking a significant moment for the ICC.
