This book aims to investigate whether, and if so, how, an
institution designed to bring to justice perpetrators of the most
heinous crimes can be regarded a tool of oppression in a
(neo-)colonial sense. To do so, it re-invents the concept of
neo-colonialism, which is traditionally associated more with
economic or political implications, from an international criminal
law perspective, combining historical, political and legal
analyses. Allegations of neo-colonialism in relation to the
International Criminal Court (ICC) became widespread after the
Court had issued an arrest warrant against the Sudanese President
Omar Al-Bashir in 2009. While the Court, since its entry into
function in 2002, has been confronted with criticism from various
corners, the neo-colonialism controversy was sparked by African
stakeholders. Unlike other contributions in this domain, thus, this
book provides a Western perspective on an issue more often
addressed from an African standpoint, with the intention of
distinguishing itself from the more political and emotive and
sometimes superficial arguments that exist within critical legal
approaches towards the ICC. The subject matter will primarily be of
interest to scholars of international criminal law or those
operating at the intersection of law and politics/history,
nationals of African states and from other parts of the world
professionally interested and/or involved in international criminal
law and justice and the ICC, and governmental and non-governmental
organizations. Secondly, the book will also appeal and speak to
critical legal scholars and those interested in historical legal
analysis. Res Schuerch is a Swiss lawyer specialized in the field
of International Criminal Law and the ICC. He previously worked as
a researcher at the University of Amsterdam and as an academic
assistant at the University of Zurich.
