Summary
This monograph is intended to contribute to enhanced understanding of the reasons why some African states have been slow in meeting their domestication obligations under the Rome Statute. In the international arena, African countries were generally very supportive of the creation of the ICC, and promptly ratified the Rome Statute. This study reveals ... that none of the five countries selected (Botswana, Ghana, Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda) have implemented measures.
