The Techniques for Appeasing the Tension between the International Criminal Court (ICC) and the African Union (AU) ()
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.
