Prosecuting International Crimes in Africa - PULP - University of ...

Alumni Association (LLM (HRDA) Alumni Association), to fully exploit
the potential of the multiple networks of alumni – most of whom are based
somewhere on the African continent. The idea of this publication was
conceived as a way of harvesting existing expertise and experience among
members of the graduate network. It illustrates the intellectual potential of
the network of graduates, and gives a concrete example of what may be
achieved by the Alumni Association or other collective action by
graduates.
The second milestone to which the book relates is the Centre’s 25-year
celebrations in 2011. While most of the work in the preparation of this
publication was done in 2010, it is finally published in 2011, the year in
which the Centre commemorates 25 years of existence.
If this book is a gift, thanks should go to the editors. They toiled
enthusiastically, spent countless hours in following up contributors and
persevered to the last in locating missing details and carefully proofreading
the text. Chacha Murungu deserves special mention for his role in
initiating and conceptualising the idea that led to this publication.
Annelize Nienaber assisted with copy-editing the text. Thanks also go to
the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung and Raoul Wallenberg Institute, whose
assistance made the publication and distribution of this book possible.
