Assignment question: In 2014, the African Union (AU) heads of states and governments adopted the
Malabo Protocol which sought to strengthen African’s international criminal justice system and aid in
the fight against impunity. There is ongoing debate regarding the manner in which the AU approached
the punishment of atrocity crimes on the continent. Some scholars have argued that Article 46Abis
only serves to promote impunity, and flies in the face of established norms in international law. The AU
has for the most part resorted to the Arrest Warrant case and general international customary law to
justify its stand point. In a thoroughly researched essay, critically discuss whether the AU’s argument
holds water in international law; and whether this immunity clause can be legally justified.

Essay Research & Answers:
There are two types of immunity from jurisdiction in relation to state officials. Under international
