The recently concluded 15th Assembly of States Parties of the International Criminal Court (ICC) came just weeks after three African countries – South Africa, Burundi and The Gambia – decided to withdraw from the global court. There were concerns that more would follow suit but at the ASP African countries voiced their support for the ICC and called for constructive dialogue to strengthen the Rome Statute system.
This View on Africa will be presented by Ottilia Anna Maunganidze, Acting Head of the Migration Programme and Senior Researcher in the office of the Executive Director. She will provide an overview of the discussions at the ASP, focusing on the need to move beyond talking about building international criminal justice to actually doing it.
