Focusing on the complementarity regime of the ICC's Rome Statute, this book examines its implementation in African states, particularly Nigeria. It highlights the necessity for national courts to prosecute unless they are unable or unwilling, while proposing a comprehensive framework for effective application. The author argues that a collaborative interpretation of complementarity can enhance domestic prosecutions and reduce reliance on the ICC. Key elements include establishing legal frameworks, institutional capacity, and credible judiciaries to address international crimes effectively.
