The book deals with the controversial relationship between African states, represented by the African Union, and the International Criminal Court. This relationship started promisingly but has been in crisis in recent years. The overarching aim of the book is to analyze and discuss the achievements and shortcomings of interventions in Africa by the International Criminal Court as well as to develop proposals for cooperation between international courts, domestic courts outside Africa and courts within Africa. For this purpose, the book compiles contributions by practitioners of the International Criminal Court and by role players of the judiciary of African countries as well as by academic experts.

Africa and the International Criminal Court

Klaus Marxen

Der vierte Band dokumentiert in zwei Teilbänden die Strafverfolgung von DDR-Bürgern wegen Spionage gegen die Bundesrepublik, einen der umstrittensten Bereiche der strafrechtlichen Aufarbeitung. Der Schwerpunkt liegt bei den Strafverfahren gegen Angehörige der für die nachrichtendienstliche Struktur der DDR maßgeblichen Hauptverwaltung Aufklärung (HVA) des Ministeriums für Staatssicherheit. Das Urteil gegen den ehemaligen Leiter der HVA, Markus Wolf, wird hier erstmals vollständig abgedruckt. Enthalten ist auch das Urteil gegen den NATO-Spion Rainer Rupp ("Topas"), das die Methoden und Erfolge der DDR-Spionage eindrucksvoll schildert. Die zeitgeschichtlichen Feststellungen in den Justizdokumenten spiegeln die unterschiedlichen Phasen der politischen Beziehungen zwischen den beiden deutschen Staaten. Vermittelt wird auch das Ineinandergreifen von Spionage und innerstaatlicher Überwachung in der DDR.

"Eine exzellente Edition - das ist der erste Eindruck, den der Rezensent gewinnt, und je mehr er sich mit den zwei Teilbanden beschaftigt, desto mehr verstarkt sich dieser Eindruck."Karl Wilhelm Fricke in: Deutschland Archiv 3/2008

The chapters in this book are reworkings of presentations given during a conference held in 2018 at the German Embassy to the Netherlands in The Hague on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the adoption of the Rome Statute. They provide an in-depth analysis of major points of contention the International Criminal Court (ICC) is currently facing, such as, inter alia, head of state immunities, withdrawal from the Rome Statute, the exercise of jurisdiction vis-à-vis third-party nationals, the activation of the Court’s jurisdiction regarding the crime of aggression, as well as the relationship of the Court with both the Security Council and the African Union, all of which are issues that have a continued relevance and carry a particular controversy. The collection provides insights from both practitioners, including judges of the ICC, and diplomats who participated in the negotiations leading to the adoption of the Rome Statute, as well as well-known academics from various parts of the world working in the field of international criminal law. The aim of the book is not only to inform and stimulate academic debate on the topic, but also to serve as an instrument for lawyers involved in the practice of international criminal law. Gerhard Werle is Professor at the Faculty of Law of the Humboldt-University in Berlin, Germany and Andreas Zimmermann is Professor at the Faculty of Law of the University of Potsdam in Germany. Jürgen Bering, who worked on this book as assistant editor, is an Associate at Dentons, Berlin and a PhD candidate at the Martin Luther University, Halle-Wittenberg, Germany.

The International Criminal Court in Turbulent Times

This book offers the first comprehensive and in-depth analysis of the provisions of the ‘Malabo Protocol’—the amendment protocol to the Statute of the African Court of Justice and Human and Peoples’ Rights—adopted by the African Union at its 2014 Summit in Malabo, Equatorial Guinea. The Annex to the protocol, once it has received the required number of ratifications, will create a new Section in the African Court of Justice and Human and Peoples’ Rights with jurisdiction over international and transnational crimes, hence an ‘African Criminal Court’. In this book, leading experts in the field of international criminal law analyze the main provisions of the Annex to the Malabo Protocol. The book provides an essential and topical source of information for scholars, practitioners and students in the field of international criminal law, and for all readers with an interest in political science and African studies. Gerhard Werle is Professor of German and Internationa l Crimina l Law, Criminal Procedure and Modern Legal History at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin and Director of the South African-German Centre for Transnational Criminal Justice. In addition, he is an Extraordinary Professor at the University of the Western Cape and Honorary Professor at North-West University of Political Science and Law (Xi’an, China). Moritz Vormbaum received his doctoral degree in criminal law from the University of Münster (Germany) and his postdoctoral degree from Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. He is a Senior Researcher at Humboldt-Universität, as well as a coordinator and lecturer at the South African-German Centre for Transnational Criminal Justice.
