Today, the death penalty is a site of accommodation and resistance to international human rights norms between African governments and the Global North. As in debates over membership in the International Criminal Court and legal protections for sexual minorities, some leaders resist death penalty abolition as "imposed" by the Global North, though the modern death penalty in Africa is a product of European colonialism. However, Sub-Saharan Africa is not a passive subject of global death penalty abolition driven by Europe. Courts around the continent have made important contributions to global death penalty jurisprudence and members of civil society have engaged in novel and successful strategies against the death penalty. In addition, precolonial notions of punishment and criminal responsibility in Africa have influenced debates over the death penalty, including whether to provide compensation to victims of crime."--Page 4 of book cover. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 650 0 $a Capital punishment $z Africa, Sub-Saharan. 650 0 $a Human rights $z Africa, Sub-Saharan. 650 0 $a Capital punishment. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85019949 650 0 $a International law and human rights. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2012002128 650 4 $a Capital punishment $z Africa, Sub-Saharan. 650 7 $a Todesstrafe. $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4060306-4 650 7 $a Strafrecht. $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4057795-8 650 7 $a Rechtsvergleich. $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4115712-6 650 7 $a Human rights. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00963285 650 7 $a Capital punishment. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00846392 651 7 $a Subsaharisches Afrika. $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4053770-5 651 7 $a Afrika. $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4000695-5 651 7 $a Africa, Sub-Saharan. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01239520 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231018024217.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4B40D264FDB011E7BCC604F996128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
