African Union Intervention: Grave Circumstances
A fundamental principle guiding the African Union (AU) is its right to intervene in a Member State under specific, serious conditions. This intervention is contingent upon a decision made by the Assembly.
Identifying Grave Circumstances for Intervention
The principle highlights that such interventions are permissible in instances of grave circumstances. Based on the founding principles and treaty provisions, these circumstances are identified as:
- War crimes
- Genocide
- Crimes against humanity
These three conditions represent the critical triggers defined by the AU for potential intervention within its member states, aiming to uphold peace and security.
