Abstract
The essay deals with the relationship between the African States and the International Criminal Court. The African Group welcomed the establishment of this new international institution in 1998 and it is the largest among the regional groups within the Court. But over the years the relationship between the African States and the Court has worn out, especially in connection with some investigations initiated by the Court against some African national leaders. The Author examines the legal issues of this troubled relationship. In his opinion, it is essential to facilitate their rapprochement in order to better protect the victims of international crimes committed in Africa.
