It analyzes how the African political elite, ordinary citizens and victims of crimes under international law view the International Criminal Court. In both cases Kenya is the main point of reference, because it has been in the center of the most recent critical positions taken by the African Union. Ultimately, it is shown that the current views of the AU Assembly about the International Criminal Court are not necessarily the views of Africans in general, and that the Court remains a relevant institution for Africa today as it was when it was established.
