ABSTRACT
This chapter argues that there is need for plurality in law in contrast to the presentation of international law as universal. This means looking elsewhere, not to Europe/America, for inspiration and replacing Eurocentric law where necessary, especially in the global south. The chapter suggests that Ubuntu, should be the grundnorm that informs the emerging African Court which should in author's view, replace the ICC in dealing with international law in Africa. This could be a starting point for Africa becoming self-sustaining/regulating in conflict management/resolution. The need for pluralism in international criminal law is a step towards decolonising and the end of ‘governing’ others using international law and institutions which was well articulated by Nkrumah. The chapter discusses how uniquely southern norms can provide a more palatable ICL by realising this suggested interlegality from the normative level up to practice and procedures.
