Description

This book considers an expanded role for criminology in the study of collective violence that resulted in international crimes against humanity committed by collectivities on a communal basis. If the goal of the international criminal justice system is to foster peace and reconciliation in the aftermath of crimes against humanity, what victims of these crimes perceive as justice should trump other considerations. Dr. Sungi exposes the weakness of Western-based international adjudication in this process and provides indigenous justice alternatives as a response.
