Prolonged Occupation and International Law
This volume arose from a desire to advance academic discourse and reflection on the broader subject of prolonged occupation, in light of the permanent character, and resulting implications of, the 55 year Israeli administration of the Palestinian Territories. The roots of the volume lie in a 2018 academic conference on “The Threshold from Occupation to Annexation”. The present volume moves that discussion forward, updating and widening the range of topics addressed. The result is a collection of thought-provoking contributions by a wide range of scholars on the challenging and critical issue of prolonged occupation and international law, ranging from colonialism, apartheid, the illegalit...

Transitional Justice in West Africa
This book explores the challenges of transitional justice in West Africa, specifically how countries in the region have dealt with transitional justice problems in the last 30 years (1990–2020), and how they have managed the process.

The book examines how transitional justice mechanisms have contributed to victims’ rights, reconciliation, and peace in transitional societies, an...
The Trial of Hissein Habré
In The Trial of Hissein Habré: The International Crimes of a Former Head of State, Emmanuel Guematcha recounts the trial of Hissein Habré, the former head of state of Chad. Accused of committing crimes against humanity, war crimes, and torture while ruling Chad between 1982 and 1990, Hissein Habré was tried in Dakar, Senegal, by the Extraordinary African Chambers. He was sentenced to life imprisonment in 2016 and the sentence was confirmed in 2017. . In a narrative style, Guematcha examines the process that led to this achievement in Africa, including the failed attempts to try Hissein Habré in the Senegalese, Chadian, and Belgian courts. Guematcha discusses the mobilization of victims and the involvement of nongovernmental and international organizations. He describes the particularities of the Extraordinary African Chambers, analyzes the establishment of Hissein Habré’s criminal responsibility, and presents the trial through the testimonies of several victims, witnesses, and experts. These testimonies shed light on what it means for individuals to be subjected to international crimes. The author also questions the impact and significance of the trial in Africa and beyond.

It discusses to what extent the HCJ provides a venue f...

Guerre et contre-terrorisme
Ce numéro, intitulé « guerre et contre-terrorisme », comporte d’abord un dossier consacré aux relations existantes entre les interventions militaires extérieures et les formes de violence politique qui peuvent frapper les États sur leur propre territoire. Il est commun d’entendre des hauts responsables gouvernementaux opérer une séparation étanche entre les premières et les secondes, alors que nombre d’activistes armés ou de ceux qui les soutiennent font valoir que leurs actions relèvent d’une « légitime défense » contre les opérations qui les visent. Il ne s’agit pas ici de trancher entre ces deux régimes de justification, mais d’analyser - à partir d’enqu...
