Margaret M. deGuzman (Temple University – James E. Beasley School of Law) has posted Is the ICC Targeting Africa Inappropriately? A Moral, Legal, and Sociological Assessment (CONTEMPORARY ISSUES FACING THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT (Richard H. Steinberg ed., Brill/Nijhoff 2016)) on SSRN. Here is the abstract:
This short essay considers the legitimacy of the ICC’s early focus on Africa along three interrelated dimensions: moral, legal, and sociological. It argues that the ICC’s Africa focus is neither legally nor morally inappropriate, but nonetheless threatens to undermine perceptions of the Court’s fairness.
