Background of the Study
International judicial cooperation represents a cornerstone of global efforts to enforce the rule of law and advance justice on a worldwide scale (Morris, 2023). The International Criminal Court (ICC) plays a critical role in this process, particularly in regions where accountability for serious crimes is lacking (Norris, 2024). In Abuja, the presence of the ICC has spurred significant discussions on the efficacy of judicial cooperation in achieving global justice. By fostering collaboration between national and international legal bodies, the ICC seeks to bridge gaps in legal enforcement and enhance the legitimacy of criminal justice systems (Oliver, 2023). The case study of Abuja offers valuable insights into how international judicial frameworks operate in practice, addressing issues of jurisdiction, extradition, and mutual legal assistance (Patterson, 2025). Moreover, the study explores the challenges of aligning disparate legal systems under a common framework while safeguarding the rights of victims and ensuring fair trials (Quinn, 2024). In the evolving landscape of international law, this research critically evaluates the successes and limitations of judicial cooperation in promoting accountability and global justice (Reed, 2023). The analysis aims to contribute to the broader academic debate on the role of international institutions in the administration of justice (Simmons, 2023).
Statement of the problem
Although international judicial cooperation is heralded as essential for global justice, its practical implementation frequently encounters significant challenges. In Abuja, the ICC’s efforts to coordinate with local legal authorities have been hampered by differences in legal cultures, limited resources, and political interference (Morris, 2023). Such obstacles impede effective prosecution of international crimes and undermine the broader goal of ensuring accountability (Norris, 2024). Moreover, questions remain regarding the consistency and fairness of judicial cooperation, particularly when balancing international mandates with national sovereignty (Oliver, 2023). This study investigates the disconnect between the theoretical framework of international judicial cooperation and its practical execution in Abuja, with the aim of identifying systemic shortcomings and potential areas for reform (Patterson, 2025).
Objectives of the Study:
To analyze the framework and mechanisms of international judicial cooperation as practiced by the ICC.
To evaluate the impact of judicial cooperation on advancing global justice in Abuja.
To identify key challenges and suggest recommendations for improving cooperation between international and national legal systems.
Research questions
How does the ICC facilitate judicial cooperation in Abuja?
What are the major obstacles to effective international judicial cooperation?
How can existing mechanisms be improved to better advance global justice?
Significance of the Study
The significance of this study lies in its critical assessment of international judicial cooperation as a means to achieve global justice. By examining the ICC’s role in Abuja, the research provides important insights for legal scholars and practitioners seeking to enhance the effectiveness of international criminal justice. The study’s findings will inform policy adjustments aimed at reinforcing collaboration between diverse legal systems, ultimately contributing to a fairer and more accountable global legal order (Simmons, 2023).
Scope and Limitations of the Study:
This study is limited to the evaluation of international judicial cooperation as facilitated by the ICC in Abuja. It focuses solely on legal frameworks and judicial practices without extending to other regions or judicial bodies.
