| dc.description.abstract | In June 2014, the AU adopted a Protocol which included in its annexe a Statute of the African
Court of Justice and Human and Peoples' Rights. The Protocol proposes to expand the
jurisdiction of the African Court of Justice and Human and Peoples' Rights (ACJHPR) by vesting it
with criminal jurisdiction. The ACJHPR will comprise of three sections, namely, a General
Affairs Section, a Human and Peoples' Rights Section and an International Criminal Law
Section. The Malabo Protocol, therefore, confers the proposed ACJHPR with criminal
jurisdiction over international and transnational crimes. Although the Malabo Protocol and its
Statute are not yet in force, the fact that in Africa there is a possibility of having the 'African
Criminal Court (ACC)' deserves a critical analysis. | |
