In this blog, I share my thoughts, as well as open a discussion forum for those interested in reflecting on developments in international criminal justice in Africa.What are the issues? The controversies? Developments, not just at the International and Regional level (ICC, the Tribunals, African Union), but also at the national level (TRCs, Courts, Amnesties).

Kenya's Deferral Request Should Worry the ICC
For some thoughts on this issue, see this short piece published by the Royal African Society. In this article, I argue that the kenyan and Sudan are linked in a number of ways, and that while basic legal criteria are not met to secure deferral, links with Sudanese situation complicates decision-making for the UNSC. I conclude that whatever happens, the ICC is unlikely to re-emerge unscathed.
