Details

In Head of State Immunity under the Malabo Protocol: Triumph of Impunity over Accountability?, Kobina Egyir Daniel engages the subject of Head of State Immunity in international law against the backdrop of the AU's decision to create a Court with international criminal jurisdiction before which "Heads of State" or persons "entitled to act in such capacity" will have immunity during incumbency. Beyond the analysis to determine whether the immunity that the Protocol confers represents a retrogression in international law norms that seek accountability for jus-cogens crimes, Daniel provides valuable insights on the status-inspired dialectics and self-serving hero-villain polemics that fuel contestations of right between the AU and the ICC and the worldviews that respectively seek to overturn/preserve the asymmetry of the international legal order.
