The doctrine of universal jurisdiction has evolved throughout
modern times in the context of global criminal justice as a
paramount agent of combating impunity emanating from international
criminality. Sierra Leone, as a member of the international
community and the United Nations, has, in recent times, been a
pioneer in the progressive application and development of
international criminal law in the African region. Despite this
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 criminogenic acts. Hence, a compelling reason for the
author to write this book was to provide a seminal scholarly work
on the subject 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. It was also to propose necessary substantive and procedural
law reforms in the state's jurisprudence 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 tables and summaries
of each chapter. Justice Rosolu J.B. Thompson is Professor Emeritus
of Criminal Justice Studies, Eastern Kentucky University, USA. He
was a member of and Presiding Judge in Trial Chamber I of the
Special Court for Sierra Leone.
