Al Jazeera English published this video item, entitled “Ivory Coast leader Ouattara meets rival, says crisis ‘behind us’” – below is their description.

Ivory Coast President Alassane Ouattara and his predecessor Laurent Gbagbo say they want peace after the rivals met for the first time since a deadly 2010-11 conflict.

Gbagbo had refused to concede defeat to Ouattara in the 2010 elections.

About 3,000 people died in violence following the disputed polls.

Gbagbo recently returned to Ivory Coast after the International Criminal Court acquitted him of crimes against humanity.

Al Jazeera’s Ahmed Idris reports from Abuja, Nigeria.

The International Criminal Court is an intergovernmental organization and international tribunal that sits in The Hague, Netherlands. The ICC is the first and only permanent international court with jurisdiction to prosecute individuals for the international crimes of genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, and the crime of aggression. It is intended to complement existing national judicial systems and it may therefore exercise its jurisdiction only when national courts are unwilling or unable to prosecute criminals.
