Abstract

This Part investigates how the notion of neo-colonialism reappears in the field of International Criminal Law (ICL) and the ICC in particular. First, the pervasive fact of structural asymmetry is customised to the field of ICL (Chap. 9). Subsequently, the received understanding of neo-colonialism is put to scrutiny in relation to provisions that are particularly apt to provide protection from ICC prosecution for powerful states and their allies (Chaps. 10–12).
