ICC COLLOQUIUM

ICC REFORM PROCESS SERIES

 

The International Criminal Court Colloquium

 

The ICC Reform Process Series – 2021/2022

Given the ICC Prosecutor’s significant role, and the concerns of African and other States Parties and civil society about the recent selection process for the ICC Prosecutor whose term began in June 2021, CILPA, the American Society of International Law, and the International Nuremberg Principles Academy convened four separate roundtables with leading experts from academia, governments, and civil society.

The first  of these assessed the ICC Assembly of States Parties’ selection process for the ICC Prosecutor. Panelists were invited to debate the pros and cons of the recent search, the role of the ASP, and civil society as well as how to strengthen future competency-based searches for ICC principals starting with the pending position of deputy prosecutor. This event took place on 29 March 2021.

The second  event discussed the achievements of the African ICC prosecutor and the challenges that await the next prosecutor. This event took place on 19 October 2021.

third  roundtable, that took place on 19 October 2021, examined the ICC review and reform process. Following the issuance of the independent expert report, in September 2020, the ICC States Parties have gone on to establish a follow-up mechanism to further examine the recommendations. This event engaged the report and its recommendations and question whether the current review and reform process is sufficiently inclusive of the concerns of African States, academia and civil society.

The final  event of this series, taking into account the three preceding events, discussed the prospects for resetting the Africa-ICC relationship. This event took  place on 12 January 2022.
