African Centre of International Criminal Justice (ACICJ)

The African Centre on International Criminal Justice (ACICJ) is dedicated to growing the body of knowledge on international criminal justice, its necessity, and the place of Africa within that paradigm. The ACICJ was conceived as a result of the success of the International Criminal Court and Africa: A Discussion on Legitimacy, Impunity, Selectivity, Fairness and Accountability conference held at GIMPA in March 2016. (www.gimpalawconferences.org) The aim of the ACICJ is to center the ongoing discourse on Africa’s role and place in the work of the International Criminal Court (ICC) as it applies to the continent. The Centre hopes to formalize the network of conference participants as well as International Criminal Law scholars from all over the world to sustain the conversation – engaging the greater international criminal law (ICL) community, as well – and serve as a focal point for ongoing research, scholarship and training on the ICC and broader international justice issues across the continent. The activities of the ACICJ are made possible with funding from the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
