Abstract

The continued tension between the African Union (AU) and the International Criminal Court (ICC) has reached its climax with the African regional body deciding to expand the jurisdiction of the African Court of Justice and Human Rights (ACJHR). The expanded jurisdiction will see the addition of a third tier section with competency to try international crimes. This development appears to have been occasioned by a number of issues that have emerged in Africa relating to international criminal justice in Africa.
