This thoughtful and perceptive examination of international criminal justice has been greatly enriched by Patryk Labuda's research on site, in the living laboratories of Africa. He examines the inexorable tension between national justice systems and the international mechanisms that is sometimes understood, at least as far as the International Criminal Court is concerned, applying the enigmatic notion of complementarity. This book will be of great value to practitioners as well as academics.
