International Criminal Law Framework for Accountability in African War Crimes
type: item
description: International Criminal Law (ICL) has emerged as a critical tool for addressing war crimes in Africa, with South Africa serving as a notable case study due to its legal framework and historical context. The analysis draws upon existing case law, scholarly literature, and comparative studies to elucidate the mechanisms of accountability under ICL for war crimes in an African context. The theoretical framework underscores the importance of harmonizing ICL principles with national legal systems to ensure effective accountability for war crimes in African settings. This study recommends enhanced collaboration between domestic courts and international tribunals, as well as the strengthening of legislation related to war crimes in South Africa’s legal framework.

Microfinance Success Among Female Farmers in Kenyan Highlands
type: item
description: Microfinance services have been implemented in various regions to support small-scale farmers, particularly women who often face unique challenges in accessing financial resources. A mixed-methods approach was employed, including pre- and post-microfinance intervention surveys with follow-up interviews. Data were collected from 150 randomly selected female farmers using structured questionnaires. Microfinance interventions significantly improved financial stability among the sampled female farmers (78% reported increased income), though challenges such as repayment difficulties persisted over time. The two-year follow-up revealed that while microfinance provided initial benefits, ongoing support and targeted assistance are essential to sustain these gains. Policy makers should consider extending financial literacy programmes alongside microfinance initiatives to enhance long-term success rates. Community-based interventions also show promise in addressing persistent challenges.

Gender Dynamics in Legal Practices within Niger
type: item
description: Gender dynamics in legal practices have been a significant area of study in sub-Saharan Africa, particularly within Niger where traditional and modern legal systems coexist. Despite efforts to promote gender equality, women often face systemic barriers that affect their access to justice and rights under the law. The study employs a qualitative approach involving interviews with judges, lawyers, and legal practitioners in key regions of Niger. Focus groups were also conducted with women's rights activists and community leaders to gather insights into gender dynamics within legal contexts. Findings indicate that despite recent legislative reforms aimed at gender equality, traditional norms persistently influence judicial decisions, particularly regarding inheritance disputes and child custody cases. Women often face challenges in proving their marital status or obtaining documentation necessary for claiming rights under the law. This research underscores the need for further legal education and training on gender sensitivity among legal professionals to mitigate bias and enhance equitable outcomes in legal processes affecting women's lives. Recommendations include developing comprehensive curricula for legal practitioners that emphasise intersectionality, implementing mentorship programmes to support female lawyers, and establishing community-based legal clinics to provide accessible services to underserved populations.

Research and Policy Implications in Senegal
type: item
description: This article examines policy implications of legal research in Senegal, a country in West Africa. The analysis employs a qualitative approach to assess recent legal reforms and their effects on administrative procedures in Senegalese institutions. Recent legal amendments have led to an increase in the number of policy directives issued by governmental bodies, particularly affecting education sector regulations. This study highlights the dynamic relationship between legislative changes and administrative practices in Senegal. Policy makers should anticipate increased regulatory burden and seek alignment with international best practices for effective implementation.

and Order in the Informal Sector
type: item
description: The informal sector in urban areas of Africa often operates outside formal legal frameworks, leading to regulatory challenges and economic inefficiencies. The study employs an analytical approach, reviewing legal documents, academic literature, and secondary data sources to understand the current state of informal sector regulation in Liberia. A thematic analysis was conducted on relevant policy documents. A significant proportion (45%) of urban businesses operate informally, with laws such as tax regulations and land tenure policies often conflicting or insufficiently enforced, leading to persistent economic disparities among these enterprises. Liberia's current informal sector policies are inadequate for the scale and complexity of this sector, resulting in inefficiencies and inequality. Recommendations include harmonizing existing laws, enhancing enforcement mechanisms, and fostering collaboration between stakeholders. Recommendations include harmonizing tax regulations with land tenure policies, increasing community engagement through participatory planning processes, and establishing dedicated bodies to monitor compliance with new policies.

The qualitative data revealed that traditional dispute resolution mechanisms are widely used by marginalized groups for resolving disputes related to land rights, inheritance, and domestic violence in rural areas (85% of respondents reported using these mechanisms). Traditional dispute resolution mechanisms serve as an essential component of the justice system, providing accessible and culturally relevant solutions to legal issues faced by disadvantaged populations. Government bodies should integrate traditional dispute resolution processes into formal legal frameworks to enhance their effectiveness and reach. Increased funding for training and support of traditional leaders is also recommended.

Traditional Dispute Resolution Mechanisms in Access to Justice
type: item
description: Traditional dispute resolution mechanisms have long played a significant role in access to justice across diverse societies, including Seychelles where indigenous legal systems coexist with formal legal frameworks. The research employs a comparative approach, analysing data from interviews with community leaders, court records, and legal literature. A thematic analysis framework is used to interpret findings across different regions of Seychelles. Traditional dispute resolution mechanisms are particularly prevalent in rural areas where they account for approximately 40% of all justice cases heard by local courts, highlighting their relevance in addressing specific community needs. This study underscores the importance of integrating traditional practices into formal legal systems to enhance accessibility and effectiveness in providing justice services across Seychelles. Policy recommendations include strengthening collaboration between traditional leaders and modern legal institutions to ensure continuity and legitimacy of TDRM, while also promoting education programmes to increase awareness about available alternatives.

Gender Dynamics in Sub-Saharan African Jurisprudence
type: item
description: Djibouti, a small East African country, has been grappling with gender dynamics in its legal framework for decades. Despite recent efforts to address these issues, significant disparities persist across various domains of law. The research employs a thematic analysis approach, drawing from case studies of selected laws and court judgments. Interviews with legal practitioners and scholars provide additional insights into the application of these laws in practice. A key finding is the underrepresentation of gender-specific provisions within Djiboutian legislation, particularly in areas such as family law and labour rights. This gap is notable given the country's commitment to international human rights standards. The study underscores the importance of integrating gender perspectives into legal texts and judicial interpretations to ensure equitable treatment of all genders under the law. Recommendations include a call for more proactive inclusion of gender-specific provisions in new laws, as well as ongoing training for judges and legal practitioners on recognising and addressing gender disparities within their decision-making processes.
