ABSTRACT

The issue of cooperation between the International Criminal Court and the African continent is nowadays widely discussed. The fact that the African Union has fiercely opposed the authority of the ICC, by non-cooperation and by threatening collective withdrawal in order to create a purely African Court, this article report some techniques for appeasing the tension between these two organizations, so that the repression of international crimes can exist on the African continent. It is not only a question of presenting the efforts already made by the ICC to reduce the problem with the African Union, but also of talking about the accompanying measures of the African Union to these members to judge the person responsible for the international crimes in Africa in order to avoid the application of the principle of complementarity of the Court.
