ABSTRACT

In its pursuit of accountability for heinous transgressions like genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity, the ICC represents a glimmer of hope in the fight for global justice. The ICC has acted in its pursuit of justice by serving 31 persons with arrest warrants and summonses to appear for these heinous offences. The ICC is now holding six, four have been found guilty, nine cases have been closed, three have been found not guilty, and nine remain at large. Nine cases involving individuals such as Mr Omar Hassan Ahmad Al Bashir, Mr Saleh Mohammed Jerbo Jamus, Mr Walter Osapiri Barasa, Mr Paul Gicheru and Mr Philip Kipkoech Bett, Mr Saif Al-Islam Gaddafi, Mr Ahmad Harun, Mr Abdel Raheem Muhammad Hussein, Mr Joseph Kony, and Mr Sylvestre Mudacumura are set to be examined in this study. By examining these cases, we can better understand the difficulties of bringing those responsible for horrific atrocities to justice globally and the problems that have persisted in this area.
