How a perfect storm of fake news and political intrigues are pulling Malaysia out of the ICC

By Debbie Stothard and Andrew Khoo Malaysia’s original decision to join the International Criminal Court (ICC) in March was welcomed with a blizzard of celebratory analysis. But the celebrations were premature. On April 5 2019, Malaysia’s Prime Minister Mahathir bin Mohamad announced a stunning reversal. In a matter-of-fact press briefing, the PM said Malaysia would be withdrawing from the ICC due to “certain quarters who have politicised the issue.”

Prospects for criminal justice in Sudan after Al-Bashir’s demise

By Tajeldin A. Adam The dramatic ouster of President Omar al-Bashir in a popular uprising on Thursday 11 April 2019 after three decades in power, has provided a new hope for his potential trial before the International Criminal Court (ICC) over his alleged role in Darfur crimes. Tajeldin A. Adam considers the potential for seeing Bashir in The Hague. Since his indictment by the court through two successive arrest warrants in 2009 and 2010, Al-Bashir has avoided threats of arrest and travelled abroad regularly, visiting several ICC member states and others in continental Africa and beyond.

Covering Mass Atrocity: Lessons from Rwanda

By Allan Thompson As the world is commemorating the events of April 1994 in Rwanda — the genocide in which at least 800,000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus were killed, former journalist, now professor Allan Thompson, considers the role the media can play during mass atrocities. It has been 25 years since Rwanda slid into the abyss. The killings happened in broad daylight, yet many of us — individuals, media outlets, entire governments — turned away, or failed to grasp the unfolding events.

Time to start thinking seriously about reparations in South Sudan

By Luke Moffett While the world waits in hope for the transition in Sudan, the peace process in South Sudan remains unfinished. Former parties to the conflict continue to take part in the transitional government in South Sudan, but despite agreeing twice to a comprehensive approach to transitional justice in August 2015 and September 2018, its implementation has stalled. The conflict between 2011–2018 has had a devastating impact on civilians, causing the deaths of hundreds of thousands of individuals. On a macro scale, this is apparent from its annual GDPat independence in 2011 being $17.2 billion to $2.9 billion in 2016, with 2.2 millionSouth Sudanese refugees in neighbouring countries and 1.7 millioninternally displaced.

Tegla Loroupe: From world-beater to Peace Ambassador

By Justice Hub Not many people can say they have held a World Record. Tegla Loroupe, the renowned long-distance track and road runner, belongs to this exclusive club. She was the first African woman to hold the marathon World Record between 1998 and 2001. And she still holds the world records for 25 and 30 kilometres. Since hanging up her running shoes, Loroupe founded the Tegla Loroupe Peace Foundation (TLPF) helping — especially — build peace among communities plagued by cattle rustling in her native Kenya, in Uganda and in Sudan. She’s a United Nations Ambassador of Sport and at the Rio Olympics helped prepare and present the first-ever refugee team to compete at the games.

Hadi Marifat: ICC judges have shattered Afghan hopes for justice

By Justice Hub Judges at the International Criminal Court (ICC) recently decided not to let the prosecutor open an investigation into war crimes in Afghanistan. The decision was unexpected and has been heavily criticised by some. In particular, the fact that the judges said that an investigation into the events of Afghanistan’s long wars during which many people suffered would not be in the “interests of justice”.
