The Justice Laboratory: International Law in Africa - Paperback

by Kerstin Bree Carlson (Author)

Examining how international criminal law has--and hasn't--brought justice following war crimes in Africa

Written in an accessible style, this book explores the connections between politics and the doctrine of international criminal law. Highlighting little-known institutional examples and under-discussed political situations, the book contributes to a broader international understanding of African politics and international criminal justice, as well as the lessons the African experiences offer for other regions.
