9 This was best illustrated in the Kenya situation there were cases of victims and witnesses being contacted by persons who would present themselves as staff members of the ICC in attempts to extract information from them. In this context it was vital for the ICC to ensure that it’s brand and logos were well publicised and visible in order to prevent these types of fraudulent and potentially harmful interactions.
