Despite Sierra Leone?s role, the country?s profile, both in terms of the incorporation and application of the doctrine of universal jurisdiction, is deficient in several major respects falling far short of its dual international obligation not to provide safe havens from justice for perpetrators of international crimes and to combat impunity from such crimogenic acts. Based on his vast experience in this field, the author provides the reader with a seminal scholarly work articulating the existing state of the law in Sierra Leone and highlighting the deficiencies in the law and factors inhibiting the exercise of universal jurisdiction in this UN member state. He also proposes substantive and procedural law reforms in the state?s relevant law on the subject. The book is recommended reading for practitioners and scholars in international criminal law and related disciplines. Its accessibility is highly enhanced by relevant footnotes, tables and summaries of each chapter. Justice Bankole Thompson holds a Ph.D. in Law from the University of Cambridge. He is Professor Emeritus of Criminal Justice Studies, Eastern Kentucky University, USA. He was a Judge of the Special Court for Sierra Leone. Currently, Justice Thompson is a Judge of the Residual Special Court for Sierra Leone, and a fellow of the Sierra Leone Institute of International Law. 000726041 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed March 16, 2015). 000726041 650_0 $$aCriminal law$$zSierra Leone. 000726041 650_0 $$aUniversal jurisdiction. 000726041 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z9789462650534 000726041 830_0 $$aInternational criminal justice series ;$$vVolume 3. 000726041 852__ $$bebk 000726041 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-94-6265-054-1$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000726041 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:726041$$pGLOBAL_SET 000726041 980__ $$aEBOOK 000726041 980__ $$aBIB 000726041 982__ $$aEbook 000726041 983__ $$aOnline 000726041 994__ $$a92$$bISE
