QUESTION PREVIEW
In June 2014, the African Union sitting in Malabo, Equatorial Guinea adopted a legal instrument which expanded
the jurisdiction of the African Court of Justice and Human Rights. The instrument known as the Protocol on the
Amendments to the Protocol on the Statute of the African Court of Justice and Human Rights (the Malabo Protocol)
introduced a third chamber known as the International Criminal Law Section. This effectively created a new
international criminal court for Africa. However progressive this initiative was, several commentators raised
concern with article 46A bis (the immunity clause) which provides that: "No charges shall be commenced or
continued before the Court against any serving AU Head of State or Government, or anybody acting or entitled to
act in such capacity, or other senior state officials based on their functions, during their tenure of office." Your
organisation, Africa First is a human rights organisation working in conflict zones around the continent to identify
and assist victims of human rights violations. You are asked to give an opinion on the legality or otherwise of the
immunity clause as cited above. You are to rely on case law and other authoritative sources of international law in
your response.
