Book Description
This book critically examines the issues pertaining to the Rome Statute’s complementarity principle. The focus lies on the primacy of African states to prosecute alleged perpetrators of inteational crimes in their respective jurisdictions. The chapters explore states’ inteational and domestic obligations to hold perpetrators of inteational crimes to account before the national courts, and demonstrate the complexity of enforcing national accountability of alleged perpetrators of inteational crimes while also ensuring that post-conflict African states achieve national healing, reconciliation, and sustainable peace. The contributions reject impunity for inteational crimes whilst also considering these complexities. Emphasis further lies on the meaning of accountability in the context of the politics of selective inteational criminal justice for crimes committed before the establishment of the Inteational Criminal Court.
Review “This collection of essays brings together fresh voices in inteational criminal law to tackle perhaps the most misunderstood, and potentially the most important, concept in mode inteational criminal law:complementarity. By addressing the prospects and challenges of national-level prosecution of the most serious crimes in inteational law, the book opens up avenues for further reflection.” (Dire Tladi, Professor and NRF SARChI Chair of Inteational Constitutional Law, South Africa) From the Back Cover ‘This collection of essays brings together fresh voices in inteational criminal law to tackle perhaps the most misunderstood, and potentially the most important, concept in mode inteational criminal law:complementarity.
