This book explores key innovations in Rwandan law, exploring how
the country has tried to combine the homegrown legal system with
the civil law and common law legal systems to create a new hybrid
legal system. The author explores the history of Rwandan law
through the pre-colonial, to colonial and post-independence
periods, and examines the homegrown legal and justice approaches,
such as Gacaca, Abunzi, and Imihigo, introduced to deal with legal
problems that could not be dealt with using the western legal
system in post genocide Rwanda. The book highlights the innovative
Rwandan approach to incorporating international law in the domestic
legal system; it also covers the evolution of Rwandan
constitutional law and constitutionalism since independence, and
the development of family law from a legal system that oppressed
women to one that promotes the rights of girls and women. Finally,
the book explores the combination of common law and civil law
systems in the development of the new Rwandan criminal law and in
the transformation of the organization, jurisdiction, and
functioning of Rwandan courts. This book will be of interest to
scholars and students of African law, international law, and the
legal system in Rwanda.
