Abstract

War crimes in Comoros have been a point of interest under international criminal law (ICL), with the country's legal framework and enforcement mechanisms needing further examination. A qualitative research approach was employed, involving interviews with key stakeholders including government officials, judicial personnel, and civil society representatives. Interviews revealed a significant lack of comprehensive case law and precedents for war crimes in Comoros, indicating the need for more structured legal guidance and training among relevant authorities. The study underscores the necessity for enhanced legal education and support systems to improve accountability mechanisms against war crimes in Comoros. It is recommended that Comoros strengthen its legal framework by incorporating recent case studies into national law, enhancing judicial training programmes, and promoting public awareness campaigns.
