„Jeder hat seinen Süden“

Die Sezession des Südsudan als Präzedenzfall für Afrika?

Auch Scheidungen lösen Freudenfeste aus - vor allem, wenn die Hochzeit unfreiwillig war, die Trennung lange erkämpft und der „Ex“ Al Bashir heißt. Lange sah es so aus, als würde der vom Internationalen Gerichtshof in Den Haag gesuchte Herrscher von Khartoum den Süden nicht kampflos ziehen lassen. Doch die Zeitenwende hat stattgefunden: Nach jahrzehntelangem Bürgerkrieg wurde am 9. Juli 2011 die Zwangsehe aufgelöst und der Südsudan als jüngster Staat der Welt aus der Taufe gehoben. Eine historische Zäsur, die neue politische Rahmenbedingungen schafft – und ein Präzedenzfall für Afrika ist?

Herausforderungen bei Ermittlungen des Internationalen Strafgerichtshofes

Das Beispiel Uganda

Ende des Jahres 2011 wird die Versammlung der Vertragsstaaten des Internationalen Strafgerichtshofes (IStGH) einen neuen Chefankläger für das Gericht bestimmen. Die neunjährige Ära des derzeitigen Anklägers, des Argentiniers Moreno Ocampo, nähert sich damit seinem Ende. Uganda war das erste Land, in dem der IStGH auf Einladung des Präsidenten Museveni Ende 2003 Ermittlungen aufnahm. Das Ende des Mandates Moreno Ocampos, und der Fakt, dass die Ermittlungen seit nunmehr fast acht Jahren andauern, bieten Anlass für eine Zwischen-betrachtung der bisherigen Arbeit des Gerichtshofes in Uganda.
