South African Institute of Race Relations NPC Written Representations to the Speaker of the National Assembly regarding the Implementation of the International Convention on the Suppression and Punishment of the Crime of Apartheid Bill, 2025

In its submission to the Speaker of the National Assembly, the IRR says that the Implementation of the International Convention on the Suppression and Punishment of the Crime of Apartheid Bill, a private member’s bill, is clearly unnecessary, as the Rome Statute and the 2002 ICC Act are already available to the country, and that adopting an overlapping anti-apartheid statute is entirely unnecessary and serves no legitimate governmental purpose.
