The International Criminal Court - A Contrasting Universality

By Aubin DASSI NDÉ

In the wake of the controversial elimination of the Senegalese national team in the round of 32 at the recent Football World Cup tournament in Russia, Senegalese journalist Mamadou Mouth BANE, editor of the Dakar Times daily, posted on the front page of its publication of June 29, 2018 a resonant article of virulent denunciation entitled: "PLOTS, CORRUPTION, MATCHES RIGGED, REFEREES PURCHASED, RACISM: THE FIFA WORSE THAN THE ICC " Beyond the sporting field, the International Criminal Court would therefore be, according to some observers worldwide, just the prototype, the global epicenter of corruption, the combination of organized injustice. This book presents a global perception of this Court through more than 300 voices, among the most authorized of the World. The diversified perceptions of these Leaders from the five continents show that the ICC covers a plural universality, declining in at least three dimensions: the universalities of satisfactions, reservations and expectations. If this Court has been able to meet the challenge of its formal and organic universality, it still struggles to overcome that of its functional universality.
