For actions and events in a given region trigger consequences and reactions in distant climes. The world has indeed been thrown into a global state of insecurity occasioned by the perpetration of organised crimes aided by technological advancement. The rate of renewed militancy in the Niger-Delta by the avengers groups and sustained terrorist attacks in Europe and across the globe have, more than ever before, thrown the world into a state of security uncertainty. The situation is enough to challenge social educators to take responsibility of radically spearheading moral and values reorientation at the basic level of education that will ensure the inculcation of values of love and peaceful coexistence.Data for the study was sourced from secondary materials. The study was carried out with a descriptive design. The authors in this paper are of the view that a properly-articulated Social Studies education programme with a sound pedagogical delivery method could be a potent instrument to reduce the menace of organised crimes especially kidnapping and militancy/terrorism across the globe.The study was anchored on the rational decision theory of crime.","PeriodicalId":436301,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Social Issues and Humanities","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115020201","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"International Criminal Justice in Africa: Some Emerging Dynamics","authors":"L. Nkansah, K. Nkrumah","doi":"10.5539/JPL.V4N2P74","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5539/JPL.V4N2P74","url":null,"abstract":"The phenomenon of using international criminal justice to address war crimes and human rights violations in conflict and post-conflict situations of Africa has emerged. This consist of a platform which is anchored in universal norms, with a court which does not form part of the domestic criminal system, and which in some cases sits outside the geographical jurisdiction of where the offences took place. The adjudicators may also be non-nationals. This paper examines the experiences regarding the enforcement of international criminal justice in Africa as instituted in the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) and the Special Court for Sierra Leone as well as in the framework of the International Criminal Court (ICC). It emerged that international criminal justice is meshed in politics and hence lacks the unflinching cooperation and support from the continent. The evidence as to its appropriateness for peace-building in conflict and post-conflict situations is mixed. The package offered by internationalized justice alienates both the adjudicators and the adjudicating society from the process, thereby denying the process with the impetus required for it to be beneficial to the end users. The implication of this study then is that the prospect of international justice in Africa is currently uncertain and its success would require concerted efforts by African governments, the African Union as a unified continental body and civil society organizations in collaboration with the international community.","PeriodicalId":436301,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Social Issues and Humanities","volume":"67 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116873972","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
