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. 410 0$aInternational Criminal Justice Series,$x2352-6718 ;$v3 606 $aInternational criminal law 606 $aInternational humanitarian law 606 $aHuman rights 606 $aInternational Criminal Law $3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R19040 606 $aInternational Humanitarian Law, Law of Armed Conflict$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R19030 606 $aHuman Rights$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R19020 615 0$aInternational criminal law. 615 0$aInternational humanitarian law. 615 0$aHuman rights. 615 14$aInternational Criminal Law . 615 24$aInternational Humanitarian Law, Law of Armed Conflict. 615 24$aHuman Rights. 676 $a345 700 $aThompson$b Justice Bankole$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01230030 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910484070203321 996 $aUniversal Jurisdiction: The Sierra Leone Profile$92855216 997 $aUNINA
