ABSTRACT
The African continent has experienced a series of contradictions in the hands of the International Criminal Court (ICC). One of the major undoings of the ICC in Africa is its perceived partisanship and the dispensing of victor justice on the continent. The ICC reportedly needed “quick wins” and thought that the African continent would be easy pickings, a decision or thought that was said to be informed by a latent racism that was betrayed “when Uganda and Dialogue and Reconciliation Congo run rings around Ocampo that continue to haunt the Court”. In Kenya, for instance, the ICC proved apparently unable to transcend the “victor’s justice” as it “could not even hold the Commissioner of Police accountable in what was probably the easiest case they had under the chain of command theory”.
