      abstract = {This collection of essays brings together fresh voices in  international criminal law to tackle perhaps the most  misunderstood, and potentially the most important, concept  in modern international criminal law: complementarity. By  addressing the prospects and challenges of national-level  prosecution of the most serious crimes in international  law, the book opens up avenues for further reflection. Dire  Tladi, Professor and NRF SARChI Chair of International  Constitutional Law, South Africa This book critically  examines the issues pertaining to the Rome Statutes  complementarity principle. The focus lies on the primacy of  African states to prosecute alleged perpetrators of  international crimes in their respective jurisdictions. The  chapters explore states international and domestic  obligations to hold perpetrators of international crimes to  account before the national courts, and demonstrate the  complexity of enforcing national accountability of alleged  perpetrators of international crimes while also ensuring  that post-conflict African states achieve national healing,  reconciliation, and sustainable peace. The contributions  reject impunity for international crimes whilst also  considering these complexities. Emphasis further lies on  the meaning of accountability in the context of the  politics of selective international criminal justice for  crimes committed before the establishment of the  International Criminal Court.
