Kenya on Friday raised a pre-verdict storm against the International Court of Justice verdict due on Tuesday, saying the judges’ decision will be a product of a “flawed” process.

Nairobi announced it had withdrawn the compulsory Court's jurisdiction, a principal in international law that means that each state that has granted the Court this type of acceptance has the right to sue other states and that it has agreed to appear before the Court if sued.
