The Africa Group for Justice and Accountability is a group of senior African experts on international criminal law and human rights, including political figures, members of international and domestic tribunals, and human rights advocates. The Wayamo Foundation is the group’s secretariat and convener.
Since 2015, the Wayamo Foundation has collaborated with the Africa Group to organise international justice symposia and legal capacity-building seminars in Nigeria, Senegal, the Central African Republic, Rwanda, Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda. Senior Africa Group members have also served as mediators in conflicts — always with a clear commitment to international criminal justice, in Africa and elsewhere.
