Summary Excerpt Details

The author argues that there is a strong correlation between the work of the International Criminal Court (ICC), its special interest in the "dark continent" Africa, and the permanent member of the Security Council. This work discusses the history of the ICC, its structure, funding, jurisdiction, and the relationship between the ICC and the Security Council.

Furthermore, the author debates whether there is a possible influential relationship between the ICC and global political economy. Moreover, a closer investigation into the work of the ICC, in the cases of Sudan and Libya, will follow and how it might relate to global political economy. Lastly, this work will discuss some reforms that would enhance the ICC and highlight its weaknesses. The author especially focuses on Articles 13 and 16 of the Rome Statute and tries to answer how they could be used as tools by global hegemons to control the ICC.
