African Union's ICC immunity was hollow, says university don

The decision issued on October 12, 2013, by  the African Union (AU) extraordinary summit to stop prosecution of a sitting head of state and government officials did not change the obligation of African member states of ICC under the Rome Statute, a university don has said.

According to Gitile Naituli, a professor of management and leadership at Multimedia University, by virtue of Article 27 of the statute, all African state parties consensually accepted the jurisdiction of ICC to prosecute heads of state and government.
