      abstract = {This book critically analyses diverse international  criminal law (ICL) issues in light of recent developments  in the international criminal justice system following the  pursuit of accountability in Africa and around the world.  It gives a scholarly analysis of issues pertaining to ICL  and the pursuit of accountability in Africa by way of  several topics including universal jurisdiction in Africa,  Boko Haram in Nigeria, the legitimacy of the ICTR, the law  of genocide committed against the Herero and Nama peoples,  the African perspective on international co-operation in  criminal matters, the Malabo Protocol, and whether an  African Regional Court is a viable alternative to the ICC.  Further discussed are other aspects of ICL, such as  prosecuting sexual and gender-based crimes at the ICC,  sexual and gender-based crimes perpetrated against men,  guilty pleas within ICL and slavery within international  criminal justice. With this, the book also refers to the  jurisprudence of several international courts and tribunals  including the ICTR, the ICTY, the SCSL, the ICC, the ECCC,  the KSC, and the STL. This timely contributed volume  updates international criminal law experts, practitioners,  academics, human rights activists and other stakeholders on  contemporary developments in ICL and provides  recommendations that address accountability for mass  atrocity crimes and ideas for strategic ICL litigation at  the national, international, regional and sub-regional  levels. It will prompt constructive exchanges on what can  be improved in prosecuting mass atrocity crimes around the  world. Takeh B.K.
