The Complementarity Regime of the International Criminal Court: National Implementation in Africa by Ovo Catherine ImoedemheEnglish | EPUB | 2017 | 241 Pages | ISBN : 3319467794 | 0.7 MB
This book analyses how the complementarity regime of the ICC’s Rome Statute can be implemented in member states, specifically focusing on African states and Nigeria. Complementarity is the principle that outlines the primacy of national courts to prosecute a defendant unless a state is ‘unwilling’ or ‘genuinely unable to act’, assuming the crime is of a ‘sufficient gravity’ for the International Criminal Court (ICC).
