The Wayamo Foundation has launched the Africa Group for Justice and Accountability on the sidelines of the International Criminal Court Assembly of States Parties at an event entitled “Africa and the ICC - Looking Back, Moving Forward” co-hosted by the governments of Botswana, Finland, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.
The Africa Group for Justice and Accountability is an independent group of senior African experts on international criminal law and human rights, including political figures, members of international and domestic tribunals, and human rights advocates. The Group shall support efforts to strengthen justice and accountability measures in Africa through domestic and regional capacity building, advice and outreach, and enhancing cooperation between Africa and the International Criminal Court.
Speakers at the side event included Africa Group members:
• Femi Falana (Nigeria) Human rights activist and lawyer
• Hassan Bubacar Jallow (Gambia) Prosecutor at the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda and International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals
• Richard Goldstone (South Africa) Former Chief Prosecutor of the United Nations International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda and the former Yugoslavia
• Athaliah Molokomme (Botswana) Attorney General of Botswana
• Navi Pillay (South Africa) Former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights
• Fatiha Serour (Algeria) Director of Serour Associates for Inclusion and Equity
Not present in The Hague were group members:
• Betty Kaari Murungi (Kenya)
Independent Consultant on Human Rights and Transitional Justice
• Mohamed Chande Othman (Tanzania)
Chief Justice of Tanzania
• Abdul Tejan-Cole (Sierra Leone)
Executive Director of the Open Society Initiative for West Africa.
The new group was launched as part of Wayamo's ongoing strategies aimed at improving the relationship between Africa and the ICC as well as strengthening complementarity through capacity building. Bettina Ambach, the Director of the Wayamo Foundation, which will act as the Groups’ Secretariat, described it as “an open and interactive forum where the concerns of African citizens and states can be heard.”
It is very important that we hold ourselves accountable before God for each sin that we have ever committed, and not simply rely on those three Hail Marys we were given by that “nice priest” in the Confessional. I think I should instruct the people to pray fifteen decades of the Rosary for every mortal sin they have ever committed, or at least those that they can remember after making a good examination of conscience.
At Judgment, God does not simply look at the “big picture,” or the term coined by one progressivist theologian, Joseph Fuchs, our “fundamental option.” He examines every single decision we have made in our lifetime, and demands an account for each one. Even if we die in a state of grace, our Purgatory can be very long, especially for the mortal sins forgiven in the tribunal of God’s mercy, but not fully expiated. In his book Purgatory Explained, Fr. F.X. Schouppe, S.J., wrote that on an average, a person suffers seven years in Purgatory for every mortal sin. If that is accurate, some might have a few centuries to think about and repair for what they have done.
