At ‘African Arguments’ there is a vigorous debate on international justice ongoing. The spark for the debate was a series of postings on justice and accountability in Kenya, but the issues range far wider. Earlier today, Chidi Odinkalu posted an article entitled “Saving International Justice in Africa”, that argues on the one hand that the African Union decision on the ICC-al Bashir case was incorrect, but also that the ICC and its advocates are ignoring the real concerns of victims of crimes.
