The International Criminal Court (ICC) announced Thursday conditionally allow former Ivorian President Laurent Gbagbo to leave Belgium, where he has been under house arrest since his acquittal in January 2019 of charges of crimes against humanity.
Any country to which Mr. Gbagbo wishes to go must in particular agree beforehand to receive him on its territory, said a spokesman for the Court based in The Hague, which however rejected the request for unconditional freedom presented by the former Ivorian head of state.
