South Africa leaving the International Criminal Court (ICC)

African countries have debated in the last few years the mandate and role of the International Criminal Years, to a point now we are seeing them formally announcing their intention to withdraw from the international judicial body. South Africa announced last week Friday has started a reversal process of being a member of the International Criminal Court. Joining South Africa has been Burundi and Gambia announcing their intention to withdraw from the ICC. Kenya, Namibia and Uganda are among the countries that have indicated interest in leaving. Are we starting to see the erosion of the International Criminal Court? To assist us we are joined by: • Prof Magnus Killander, Head of Research: Centre for Human Rights of the University of Pretoria • Angela Mudukuti, Southern Africa Litigation Centre, • Ottilia Anna Maunganidze, Programme Head (Acting) & Senior Researcher in the Office of the Executive Director at the Institute for Security Studies.
