Abstract
In July 2009, following the issuance of an arrest warrant for President Omar al-Bashir of Sudan by the International Criminal Court (ICC), the African Union (AU) passed a declaration of non-cooperation with the ICC. While all of the other cases in which the ICC had been involved also were located on the African continent, the AU's declaration was the first time any collective of African nations expressed significant dissatisfaction with the ICC. This thesis examinens the reasons the AU reacted so publicly and strongly to the ICC's pursuit of Bashir (and not to the cases already on the ICC's docket).
