This comprehensive book delves into a critical analysis of diverse international criminal law (ICL) issues, shedding light on recent developments within the international criminal justice system following the pursuit of accountability in Africa and across the globe. It offers a scholarly exploration of various topics related to ICL and the pursuit of justice in Africa, encompassing universal jurisdiction in Africa, the rise of Boko Haram in Nigeria, the legitimacy of the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR), the law of genocide committed against the Herero and Nama peoples, the African perspective on international cooperation in criminal matters, the Malabo Protocol, and the viability of an African Regional Court as an alternative to the International Criminal Court (ICC). Furthermore, the book delves into other aspects of ICL, such as the prosecution of sexual and gender-based crimes at the ICC, the prevalence of sexual and gender-based crimes perpetrated against men, guilty pleas within ICL, and the issue of slavery within international criminal justice.

To provide a comprehensive understanding of these complex issues, the book references the jurisprudence of numerous international courts and tribunals, including the ICTR, ICTY, the Special Court for Sierra Leone (SCSL), the ICC, the ECCC, the Kosovo Specialist Chambers (KSC), and the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY). This timely and valuable contribution updates international criminal law experts, practitioners, academics, human rights activists, and other stakeholders on contemporary developments in ICL and offers insightful recommendations to address accountability for mass atrocity crimes and foster strategic litigation in ICL at national, international, regional, and sub-regional levels.

The book aims to stimulate constructive discussions on enhancing the prosecution of mass atrocity crimes worldwide, fostering a deeper understanding of the legal framework and promoting international cooperation in combating these heinous crimes.

Written by Takeh B.K. Sendze, an Advocate and Legal Officer with the United Nations International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals in Arusha, Tanzania, and Adesola Adeboyejo, a Trial Lawyer at the International, this book is a valuable resource for scholars, practitioners, policymakers, and anyone interested in advancing the field of international criminal law and promoting justice for victims of mass atrocity crimes.
