Assessing the Acceptance of International Criminal Justice in Kenya

About

This chapter assesses the acceptance of international criminal justice (ICJ) in Kenya among victims, civil society activists, political elites and directly affected communities. In Kenya, ICJ entails the International Criminal Court, owing to its intervention in the country’s 2007/8 post elections violence (PEV). The PEV ensued after the disputed December 2007 presidential elections results involving two antagonistic groups: the then ruling Party of National Unity and its main opposition, the Orange Democratic Movement.
