Delivering the Thabo Mbeki lecture, Professor Funmi Olonisakin said while the African Union has all the structures, it lacks the power and the will to implement them.
The AU s failure to intervene in a meaningful way in the Ethiopian conflict undermines its own peace and security agenda.
The AU has similarly failed to hold other member states accountable when they go against the AU s own norms and standards.
The war in Ethiopia s Tigray region is evidence of the shortcomings of the African Union, according to Funmi Olonisakin, a professor of security, leadership and development at King s College in London.
Olonisakin was the keynote speaker of this year s Thabo Mbeki lecture.
