This book investigates the relationship between the International
Criminal Court and Africa (the ICC or the Court), asking why and
how the international criminal justice system has so far largely
failed the victims of atrocities in Africa. The book explores how
the Court degenerated from a very promising multilateral
institution to being an instrumentalised, politicised, weaponised
institution that ended up with the victims being the greatest
losers. Instead of looking at the International Criminal Court as a
recent alternative to a prevailing international criminal justice
paradigm, this book argues that the Court is a manifestation of the
same world order that was established by the Reconquista in 1492.
Written from a decolonial perspective, the book particularly draws
on evidence from Zimbabwe in order to demonstrate how the
International Criminal Court is failing the victims of the four
crimes that fall under its jurisdiction. Drawing on the
perspectives of victims in particular, this book highlights the
damage caused within Africa by the international criminal justice
system and argues for a decolonial conception of justice. The book
will be of interest to researchers from across African politics,
international relations, law and criminal justice.
