Why was Idi Amin never tried for crimes against humanity,hard to believe it was over looked?

Answer 1

for very politically correct reasons. He was opposed to the US, was the right colour and was also a muslim- Even one of any of these three factors would have made him untouchable in the minds of the self styled "do gooders".

Answer 2

He converted to Islam and received aid and advice from Mulsim countries. He became 'untouchable' becaused he fled to Saudi Arabia. If they didn't have so much oil Idi Amin would be in prison in the same cell as Jonathan Pollard

Answer 3

He escaped justice for his crimes when Saudi Arabia gave him sanctuary in the name of Islamic charity.
