Abstract:The International Criminal Court (ICC) has been criticized as unfairly targeting African leaders. This article seeks to explain the history of the ICC, the controversies surrounding it, and the response of various Africans. Threats of and actual cases of withdrawal from the Court beg the question: how can the ICC regain legitimacy as a fair and just institution?

Good Governance has been variously defined, often to suit different purposes. In the African Development Bank's Good Governance Policy, adopted by the Board in December 1999, Good Governance is defined as "a process referring to the manner in which power is exercised in the management of the affairs of a nation, and its relations with other nations". In other literature, Good Governance has been defined as "the traditions and institutions by which authority in a country is exercised for the common good".2

The Matovu Case became a landmark decision in Uganda and was followed in a number of jurisdictions elsewhere following a violent takeover of the Government. The rationale for the decision was that a violent revolution is a law-creating act with the effect of destroying the old order and creating a new one. Thus, based on Kelsen's theory of revolutionary legality, the overthrow of the Government of which Dr. Obote was the Prime Minister and replacement of the President a title he assumed, and the introduction of a new Constitution was a revolution that validated the new Regime he established. The Lecture describes the circumstances in which the decision was made and the eventual rejection of the Matovu precedent by the 1995 Constitution that declares an unconstitutional change of Government an act of Treason. The Lecture also discusses current events elsewhere where the embrace of radical Constitutional theories has led to social unrest.
