Abstract
The article deals with the judgment of the International Court of Justice in the case concerning the obligation to prosecute or issue (Belgium v. Senegal).
MSD noted that Senegal that the judge refused to issue the former president of Chad, violated the Convention against Torture (1984). This judgment has contributed to the creation of African Extraordinary Chambers of the Court of Senegal (February 2013), which are competent to prosecute crimes under international law committed in Chad between June 1982 and December 1990.
The article content Statute Extraordinary African Chambers. It seems that not only represent another example of the mixed (hybrid) criminal tribunals, but also the African way possible to prosecute crimes committed by political leaders in Africa, which is also important in the context of criticism from the African Union to the ICC and universal jurisdiction.
