This book investigates the relationship between the International Criminal Court and Africa, asking why and how the international criminal justice system has so far largely failed the victims of atrocities in Africa.

The book explores how the Court degenerated from a very promising multilateral institution to being an instrumentalized, politicized, weaponized institution which ended up with the victims being the greatest losers. Instead of looking at the International Criminal Court as a recent alternative to the prevailing paradigm, that book argues that it is a manifestation of the same world order that was established by the Reconquista in 1492. Written from a decolonial perspective, the book particularly draws on evidence from Zimbabwe in order to demonstrate how the International Criminal Court is failing the victims of the four crimes that falls under its jurisdiction.

Drawing on the perspectives of victims in particular, this book highlights the damage caused within Africa by the international justice system and argues for a decolonial concept of justice. It will be of interest to researchers from across African politics, international relations, law, and criminal justice.
