If Nigeria fails to prosecute the crimes recognised under the Rome
Statute, then the International Criminal Court (ICC) will
intervene. The ICC is only expected to complement the criminal
justice system in Nigeria and is not a court of first instance, but
one of last resort. This is what is known as the principle of
complementarity. Before the ICC can step in, it must make a finding
of 'unwillingness' or 'inability' on the part of Nigeria. It is
only after this finding is made that the ICC can take over the
prosecution of the crimes recognised under the Statute from
Nigeria. This book examines the criminal justice process in Nigeria
and discovers that the justice system is latent with the
requirements of 'unwillingness' and 'inability.' The requirements,
which serve as tests for assessment, are as they are laid down by
the Rome Statute and interpreted by the ICC. This book offers
recommendations as to what Nigeria must do in order to avoid the
ICC intervention by reversing those parameters that give rise to
'unwillingness' and 'inability.' The International Criminal Court
and Nigeria: Implementing the Complementarity Principle of the Rome
Statute offers a contribution to the advancement of international
law and will be of practical use to African countries. It aims to
sensitise policy makers in different African countries in respect
of policy options open to them to close impunity gap in their
respective countries. This volume addresses the topics with regard
to international criminal law and comparative public law and will
be of interest to researchers, academics, organizations, and
students in the fields of international law, governance, and
comparative criminal justice.
