The International Criminal Court and Africa
Africa has been at the forefront of contemporary global efforts towards ensuring greater accountability for international crimes. But the continent’s early embrace of international criminal justice seems to be taking a new turn with the recent pushback from some African states claiming that the emerging system of international criminal law represents a new form of imperialism masquerading as international rule of law. This work analyses the relat…

This chapter examines the development of criminal law and substantive, procedural, and relevant institutions on the African continent from antiquity to the present day.

The key characteristic of pre-colonial African criminal law is its cus…

The author argues that, while the international/transnational crimes distinction may be ana…
