However, when crimes against humanity were alleged to have been committed in Kenya during the 2007-2008 post-election violence, a promising road map for criminal accountability was agreed upon alongside a political solution..In the spirit of this road map, the author analyzes the post-election violence in Kenya from a legal point of view. He extensively examines legal options for domestic criminal accountability and discusses both retributive (prosecutions) and restorative justice (mainly truth commission) mechanisms, being the main legal responses to the gross violations of human rights. Furthermore, he thoroughly investigates the Kenya situation before the ICC and the legal-cum-political responses to the ICC intervention in K | 出版日期 | Book 2015 | 关键词 | Crimes against humanity; International Criminal Court (ICC); Kenya; Post-election violence; Truth commis | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-6265-041-1 | isbn_ebook | 978-94-6265-041-1Series ISSN 2352-6718 Series E-ISSN 2352-6726 | issn_series | 2352-6718 | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer-Verlag GmbH, DE |
