Introduction

South Africa’s engagement with international criminal law reflects its commitment to international justice, rooted in the post-apartheid constitutional project. The Implementation of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court Act 27 of 2002 (ICC Act) domesticates the Rome Statute, giving South African courts jurisdiction over genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes. The Constitution’s commitment to international law and human rights provides the normative foundation for international criminal law in South Africa.
