Supplement to Digest on International Criminal Court Investigation in Africa

SUMMARY

The African Affairs Committee (Victoria Safran and Melanie Claassen, Co-Chairs) issued a report titled “Supplement to Digest on International Criminal Court Investigations in Africa.” The report is a follow-up to the committee’s prior report, “Digest on International Criminal Court Investigations in Africa” (May 2016), which reported on cases in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Darfur (Sudan), Kenya, Central African Republic, and Mali. Since then, the International Criminal Court (ICC) has opened investigations and initiated cases in other African countries. This Supplement to the ICC Digest focuses on cases brought in Libya and Uganda and includes the history of civil strife in those countries, how the ICC came to be involved, and the current status of those cases.
