Présentation de l'éditeur :
In Humanitarian Law in Action within Africa, Jennifer Moore studies the role and application of humanitarian law by focusing on African countries that are emerging from civil wars. Moore offers an overview of international law, including its essential vocabulary, and describes four particular subfields of international law: international humanitarian law, international human rights law, international criminal law, and international refugee law. After setting forth this overview, Moore considers practical mechanisms to implement international humanitarian law, focusing specifically on the experiences of Uganda, Sierra Leone, and Burundi. Through the case studies of these countries, Moore describes transitional justice's fundamental components: criminal, social, and historical. Although the African continent has gone through some of the world's greatest humanitarian emergencies, issues such as violence against women, child soldiers, and genocide are not unique to Africa, and as such, the study of humanitarian law by examining Africa's experience is important to conflict resolution and reconstruction throughout the world.
Revue de presse :
Due to its interdisciplinary focus and comparative approach, Moore's book is accessible to experts and lay readers from diverse backgrounds. She continuously links elements under discussion to her case studies and establishes comparisons between different fields of law, legal instruments, and institutions, as well as to the US. Where possible, the author substantiates her points with illustrative examples. (Hannah Baumeister, International Journal of Refugee Law)
