On November 7, 2017, the University of Johannesburg, the University of Leicester, and the International Law and Policy in Africa Network will hold a Modern Law Review
seminar on "The Crisis of International Criminal Law in Africa." The program is
here. Here's the idea:
This seminar concerns the backlash against International Criminal Law in Africa and addresses-
Whether the International Criminal Court (ICC) is able to prosecute acting Heads of State and if so, on whose request (immunities).
- The African Union’s resistance to ICC jurisdiction over Heads of African States and objection to ICC universal jurisdiction.
- The withdrawal of African states from the ICC and what that means to the ICC and International Criminal Law in general.
- How to move forward from the crisis of the relationship between the ICC and African states.
