International war crimes: Whose truth? Whose justice? http://www.pambazuka.org/en/category/features/72556

- The further erosion of the already emaciated states’ power to protect and provide for the welfare of their people. State authority has been forcibly transferred to 1) International financial institutions and their most powerful Member States;2) Transnational corporations;3) International investors and banks;4) A variety of non-state actors, including private contractors, international NGOs, rebel groups, militias, and mercenaries.

- Neo-liberal globalisation means a new Scramble for Africa’s wealth and resources. This involves traditional booty such as diamonds and gold, old and new strategic and economic minerals. The Scramble has recently been intensified by the discovery of oil and gas deposits across the Continent, fueling conflicts of incredible brutality.[7] - Globalisation means for Africa a process of economic and political destabilisation that invites foreign military intervention under the guise of the failed state doctrine, the war on terror, and, perhaps, enforcement of the arrest warrants of the International Criminal Court.
