Reviews

This series of Law Reports of the Special Court for Sierra Leone will become the primary source for the jurisprudence of the Special Court for all practitioners and academics. It is a highly commendable project and . . .helps to ensure the preservation of the rich jurisprudential legacy of the Special Court. Publications of this nature underscore the indispensability of enlightened and informed accessibility of the law, especially as it is authoritatively expounded in the laboratories of justice, national or international. Law reporting is a necessary and effective educational tool, not only in acquiring knowledge of the law but also in promoting respect of the rule of law. This series is important for all academics, students of international criminal law, policymakers and advocates within governmental and non-governmental organizations and all those who are concerned about the process of rendering justice in a post-conflict society.

From 5 African Journal of Legal Studies (2012), 339-349 by Dr. Alex Obote Odara A holistic reading of the Trial and Appeals AFRC interlocutory decisions and judgements disclose the depth at which the Chambers addressed different and difficult legal issues relating to non-international armed conflicts. I strongly recommend this volume to practising international criminal law lawyers, policy makers, human rights activists and all persons interested in addressing the complex issues of non-international armed conflict.
