ABSTRACT

With the establishment of the International Criminal Court (ICC) in 2002, the call for

International Criminal Justice has intensified. There has been prosecution of individuals who are

suspected of committing genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes. The referral of

cases from Sudan to the ICC have tested its credibility. The most prominent case involves Omar

AI Bashir the current president of Sudan. This case has led most African leaders to general

consensus of rejecting the jurisdiction of the ICC. Such and many other challenges are an

indication that the ICC is facing a lot of challenges in fulfilling its work of administering

International Criminal Justice. The challenges it faces can be compared to the international

tribunal that it preceded. These include the International Tribunal for Yugoslavia and Tribunal

for Rwanda. This dissertation aims at establishing the major challenges facing the administration

of international criminal justice and to suggest possible ways to resolve these challenges. The

referral to the ICC of Omar AI Bashir the current president of Sudan has been seen as the main

point of reference of this Research.
