We anticipate an interesting debate considering the turns and twists in the Kenyan cases, especially in the context of the broader debate on ICC controversies in Africa. This discussion will certainly contribute to the debate on ICC in Africa at American events.
The panelists are experts in their own fields. They include, among others, leaders discussing the debate on the ICC as it relates to Africa.
ï‚· The Hon. Koki Muli, Deputy Ambassador of Kenya to the United Nations
ï‚· Michael S. Greco, former president, American Bar Association
ï‚· Stephen Arthur Lamony, Senior Adviser on AU, UN and Africa Situations
Coalition for the International Criminal Court
ï‚· With introductory comments from Prof. David Bosco, author of Rough
Justice: The International Criminal Court in a World of Power Politics
Co-organized by the Council on Africa Studies, the Africa Initiative, the American Bar Association Center for Human Rights, and East Africa Washington Program, it brings together discussions on the ICC phenomena. The debate on ICC in Africa at American forums is a key feature of this event.
The East Africa Washington Program (EAWP), a new advocacy initiative by Kenyans in the Washington, DC metropolitan area conceived the idea that there is an urgent need to have the Kenyan and other African cases before the ICC highlighted, discussed and debated in Washington for informational and academic purposes. This advocates for a dialogue on how the ICC’s role in Africa, particularly at American forums, is crucial.
