This book theorizes the ways in which states that are presumed to
be weaker in the international system use the International
Criminal Court (ICC) to advance their security and political
interests. Ultimately, it contends that African states have managed
to instrumentally and strategically use the international justice
system to their advantage, a theoretical framework that challenges
the "justice cascade" argument. The empirical work of this study
focuses on four major themes around the intersection of power,
states' interests, and the global governance of atrocity crimes:
firstly, the strategic use of self-referrals to the ICC; secondly,
complementarity between national and the international justice
system; thirdly, the limits of state cooperation with international
courts; and finally the use of international courts in domestic
political conflicts. This book is valuable to students, scholars,
and researchers who are interested in international relations,
international criminal justice, peace and conflict studies, human
rights, and African politics.
