\u00a0<\/p>\n

The International Criminal Court (ICC) has finally handed down it\u2019s highly anticipated judgment on South Africa\u2019s failure to arrest Sudanese President Omar Al-Bashir. In a somewhat surprising decision, the court\u2019s pre-trial chamber ruled that South Africa had failed to comply with its obligations as a signatory to the Rome Statute<\/a>. But ICC judges stopped short of taking tougher action, choosing not to refer South Africa to either the Assembly of State Parties <\/a> or the United Nations Security Council.<\/p>\n

Some have argued<\/a> that the decision \u201cmay do the ICC more harm than good as far as being taken seriously as a legal institution.\u201d<\/p>\n

Instead, I will argue here that the ICC made a pragmatic decision, informed by the current fragility of the Court, and by the nexus between politics and international criminal justice. The decision might instead make the Court more functional by reconciling legal idealism and political reality.<\/p>\n

First, a brief background to the events leading up to the Court\u2019s decision.<\/p>\n

The case against South Africa<\/h3>\n

Al-Bashir is wanted by the ICC on charges of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity<\/a>, and was in South Africa for the 2015 African Union Summit<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As a signatory to the Rome Statute<\/a> that governs the jurisdiction and functioning of the Court, South Africa was obliged to arrest al-Bashir when he was in the country, and to extradite him to The Hague to face trial.<\/p>\n

But the government refused to arrest him. It cited the impact this might have on ongoing peace negotiations in Sudan and the decision to grant immunity to all delegates attending the summit.<\/p>\n

South Africa\u2019s Supreme Court of Appeal subsequently ruled that the failure to arrest al-Bashir was unlawful<\/a>. The government remained unrepentant.<\/p>\n

In addition, months after the events surrounding the summit, the South African government announced its intention to withdraw from the ICC<\/a>. The decision was subsequently ruled unconstitutional<\/a> by the High Court in Pretoria.<\/p>\n

Significance of ruling<\/h3>\n

The ICC\u2019s ruling was significant for several reasons.<\/p>\n

First, it was made only a short time after what appeared to be the beginning of mass exodus<\/a> by African countries from the ICC.<\/p>\n

In late 2016, The Gambia<\/a> and Burundi<\/a> joined South Africa in announcing their intention to leave. In fact, the feared African exodus hasn\u2019t materialised. The Gambia<\/a> and South Africa<\/a> have since reversed their decisions. But the Court\u2019s decision reflects its often fraught relationship with African countries \u2013 some of which are well-founded, some less so<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Court\u2019s ongoing inability to get Al-Bashir to The Hauge for trial reflects its greatest limitation: its reliance on the cooperation of states to get anything done. Given this, it would have been perfectly reasonable and legitimate to refer South Africa to the Assembly of State Parties or the UN Security Council.<\/p>\n

But the ongoing legitimacy of the Court depends not only on the number of signatories to the Rome Statute \u2013 currently 124<\/a> \u2013 but also their geographical spread.<\/p>\n

The support of African countries is imperative to the Court\u2019s continuing legitimacy. Its decision is therefore partly informed by the need to keep African countries onside.<\/p>\n

Second, the Court is entering a new phase. It\u2019s either considering, or is about to open three new cases involving Afghanistan, Ukraine and Palestine. Each case shares a common characteristic: the investigations are likely to involve the armed service personnel of countries that not only refuse to join the Court, but are also openly hostile to the idea that the Court has any jurisdiction over their soldiers. The countries are the US, Russia and Israel.<\/p>\n

The potential situation in Palestine is especially fraught<\/a>. I\u2019ve argued before<\/a> that Israeli and US defence force personnel should be held to account at the ICC for their actions. Similarly, I\u2019ve also argued<\/a> that it\u2019s important for the future of the Court that it open investigations outside of Africa.<\/p>\n

For the Court to act without acknowledging the political sensitivities of these new situations would be simply naive. The Court\u2019s decision on South Africa suggests it\u2019s acutely aware of these political realities.<\/p>\n

Third, arguably the most significant aspect of the Pre-Trial Chamber\u2019s decision was the comments concerning the Security Council<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

The Chamber observes that States Parties have been referred to both the Assembly of States Parties and the United Nations Security Council in six instances in relation to failures to arrest and surrender Omar Al-Bashir\u2026 However [\u2026] meetings of the Security Council of the United Nations [\u2026] have not resulted in measures against States Parties that have failed to comply with their obligations to cooperate with the Court.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This is a damning indictment of the Security Council. Despite the decision that South Africa had not fulfilled its obligations as a signatory in failing to arrest al-Bashir, the ICC has deemed the punishing body \u2013 the Security Council \u2013 not fit for purpose. What this means for future Article 87 rulings<\/a> is unclear.<\/p>\n

Political realism<\/h3>\n

The Chamber\u2019s ruling provides further evidence that the Court\u2019s ability to function in the manner envisioned by the architects of the Rome Statute appears to be increasingly at the whim of international politics.<\/p>\n

None of this is to suggest that the Court\u2019s activities be informed purely by realpolitik. Indeed, one of the greatest successes of the Court in its 15 years of operation is the degree to which it has contributed to undermining traditional understandings of \u201cpolitics as power\u201d<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"TheBut the Court is operating in a very different political environment to the \u201cgolden age\u201d of international criminal justice in which it was established<\/a>. Some pragmatism might serve it well.<\/p>\n
