This monograph describes the early support for the International Criminal Court (ICC) on the African continent, discerns the reasons underlying the criticisms of the ICC that have arisen within the AU, and evaluates the merits of those criticisms. Furthermore, it proposes various recommendations in an attempt to describe not only the type of ICC that Africa appears to want, but also to advocate the best means by which African states and the AU might engage with the ICC in order to improve the court in the pursuit of, or in response to, African interests.
