The performance of international courts has traditionally been
judged against criteria of compliance and effectiveness. Whilst
these are clearly desirable objectives for litigants before
Africa's international courts, this book shows that we must look
beyond these criteria to fully appreciate the impact of these
courts. This book shows how litigants use their participation in
international litigation to achieve other objectives: to amplify
political disputes with their governments, to build their movement,
to educate the public about their cause, and to challenge the
status quo. Chapters in this collection show how these courts act
as coordination points for opposition political parties to name and
shame dominant parties for violation of their organizational
rights. Others demonstrate how Africa's international courts serve
as transitional justice mechanisms in which truth telling about
ongoing conflict and authoritarian governance receives significant
attention. This attention serves as a platform to galvanize
resistance against continued authoritarian rule, especially from
outside the conflict countries. Ultimately, the book shows that
these courts must be judged against new and broader criteria, and
understood as increasingly important venues for waging political,
social, environmental, and legal struggles.
