Asser Press/Springer, $c [2015] 300 $a xviii, 275 pages : $c 25 cm. 490 1 $a International Criminal Justice Series ; $v vol. 2 520 8 $a Since the historic Nuremberg Trial of 1945 an international customary law principle has developed that commission of a core crime under international law - war crimes, genocide, crimes against humanity and aggression - should not go unpunished. History shows, that when in Africa such violations occurred, especially as a result of election disputes, national and regional actors, including the African Union, resorted to political rather than legal responses. However, when crimes against humanity were alleged to have been committed in Kenya during the 2007-2008 post-election violence, a promising road map for criminal accountability was agreed upon alongside a political solution. In the spirit of this road map, the author analyzes the post-election violence in Kenya from a legal point of view. He extensively examines legal options for domestic criminal accountability and discusses both retributive (prosecutions) and restorative justice (mainly truth commission) mechanisms, being the main legal responses to the gross violations of human rights.0Furthermore, he thoroughly investigates the Kenya situation before the ICC and the legal-cum-political responses to the ICC intervention in Kenya. Practitioners and academics in the field of international criminal law and related disciplines, as well as political sciences and (legal) history will find in this book highly relevant information about alternative legal approaches of the fight against and punishment of crimes against humanity, as defined under the ICC Statute. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 650 0 $a Victims of violent crimes $x Legal status, laws, etc. $z Kenya. 650 0 $a Political violence $z Kenya. 650 0 $a Restorative justice $z Kenya. 830 0 $a International criminal justice series ; $v v. 2. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191211020501.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A6A2E596F2F211E49475ABD7DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
