International Criminal Court judges have rejected arguments by former Ivory Coast President, Laurent Gbagbo, that they lack the jurisdiction to try him for charges of crimes against humanity.
Gbagbo's charges are partly a result alleged murder and rape committed by his supporters in 2010, whilst he was clinging onto power following controversial elections. The former leader still claims that he is innocent.
Gbagbo's argument was based around his claims of supposed mistreatment during his time in detention.
The former Ivory Coast leader was extradited to the Hague last November.
