Professor Charles C. Jalloh was the keynote speaker during the Geographies of Justice: Immunities and the African Court Conference held in the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa, last week. He also moderated two separate panels, and was a discussant during the closing plenary. The meeting, which was the first to engage the technical legal aspects of the African Union’s newly adopted Malabo Protocol including the proposed immunity from prosecutions for sitting African heads of state, was convened by the Institute for Security Studies – a leading human security think tank headquartered in Pretoria, South Africa. Other participants included judges, diplomats, academics and other international criminal law experts from the US, Canada, Europe and Africa. Read more here.
