This book invites its readers to consider the following assessment: Based on the examination of cases pertaining to transitional justice settings resorting to local interpretations of crimes against humanity jurisprudence, fragmentation of international law and circumscribed applications of universal jurisdiction are necessary aspects of the grand enterprise to overcome the impasse of international criminal law's tainted legacy in the Global South. If we are to proceed with adjudication of the most egregious and heinous crimes involving state criminality without facing the charge of neo-colonialist plotting, then we must reckon with localised and domesticated interpretations of international criminal law rather than pursuing strict forms of legislative dictation of international criminal law.
