Culture under Cross-Examination: International Justice and the Special Court for Sierra Leone - Cambridge Studies in Law and Society
Kelsall, Tim (University of California, Berkeley)
Using an approach that combines anthropological and political analysis, this book examines the roles of military command, mystical powers, child soldiers, forced marriage and fact-finding in the Special Court for Sierra Leone, arguing that cultural differences have obstructed justice and that international justice requires a more multicultural approach.
