Editorial Reviews

Review

"Dr. Sungi argues for consideration of indigenous alternatives to formal criminal justice across Africa to a new level...[he] introduces to researchers and practitioners alike the issue of whether indigenous justice might supplant prosecutions for international crimes."­Dr. Hal Pepinsky, Professor Emeritus Criminal Justice Indiana University, Bloomington

"This timely work by Simeon Sungi is a fascinating and scholarly examination from an accomplished lawyer in this field, who demonstrates his analysis in an accessible fashion. His premise is quite simply that"trial justice" as it stands now, is unable or at best limited, to prosecute a majority of individuals alleged to have committed international crimes because courts just do not have an infrastructure to do so." ­Dr. Glen Reynolds, University Sunderland, UK

"...he identifies a weakness in Western­based international adjudication as a response to crimes against humanity, because some of the crimes are committed collectively or communally...the author has demonstrated other avenues which could be used to address cases of crimes against humanity." ­Dr. Kioko Ireri, United States International University ­ Africa
