Siobhán's Profile

Dr Thomas Obel Hansen has secured support for a project on "Developing the “Nairobi Principles on Accountability” under the Global Challenges call.  This project will bring together stakeholders in the processes relating to Kenya’s experiences with justice for international crimes to develop the “Nairobi Principles on Accountability”. Drawing on Kenya’s experiences with international and domestic justice, the Guidelines aim to create an agenda for how to improve future justice processes relating to international crimes, especially with respect to complementarity, State cooperation, immunity of State officials and victims’ issues. Whereas the ICC faced significant challenges in Kenya, important lessons can be learned from this case which will benefit the ICC, regional actors, Kenya and other countries in the region seeking to promote accountability.
