Memorandum to African States Parties of the International Criminal Court for the Assembly of States Parties 14th Session

I write to share a memorandum with new analysis and recommendations for your government for the ICC Assembly of States Parties session that begins Wednesday (attached and below). This memorandum—which is a joint effort of African civil society organizations and international organizations with a presence in Africa—discusses steps forward in the ICC’s investigations and examinations, in and outside Africa, and Africa’s relationship with the ICC. It also highlights key issues expected to arise and actions we believe are needed by your government with respect to them, namely: overall support to the court, budget, protection of the ICC’s independence, cooperation, and complementarity. We thank you for your consideration of this material.
