    A Jurisprudential Analysis of Law, Morality, and Genocide
    (National Council of Law Reporting, 2010) kamunde, N.
    The quest for justice has led to remarkable steps in the fight against impunity and has indeed showed the International community that perpetrators of grave violations of humanitarian law such as Genocide cannot escape with impunity. This achievement cannot however be lauded as perfect in light of the lack of commensurate developments for situation-oriented reconciliation systems such as truth justice and reconciliation mechanisms. This is so especially when a conflict is caused by a factor such as ethnicity, which is only peculiar to a specific society such as Rwanda. Post conflict societies have not fully enjoyed the triumphs of International Criminal Justice systems because their situation requires something more than punishing those who have offended the law. It goes without saying that an inquiry into the laws and the legal structures against genocide from a point of jurisprudence is imperative towards the improvement of the relevant legal systems relating to Genocide and the overall achievement of peace and co-existence among different groups.

    Drivers of Youth Radicalization into Violent Extremist Organisations in Isiolo County, Kenya
    (Journal of African Interdisciplinary Studies (JAIS), 2023) Masaga, Geoffrey Nyansiri; Handa, Stephen Okumu
    Isiolo County is a key economic node in the region, located as it does on the Lapsset corridor, which in turn links several road systems and promotes growth throughout the region. Cattle rustling, illicit guns, extremism, human and drug trafficking are all issues that threaten the safety of Isiolo because of its location. While there has been no major terror attack on Isiolo County soil, there has been an increase in terror-related activities as a result of some local youth becoming radicalized and joining violent extremist groups, threatening the safety of both Isiolo County and its neighbors. Youth radicalization is a major danger to the economic and social fabric of Isiolo County. It was speculated that the main causes of radicalization among teenagers in Isiolo County were neglectful/permissive parenting, drug and substance misuse, peer pressure, unemployment, marginalization, and poverty. Community policing strategies initiatives, fostering creation of jobs and entrepreneurship, developing an extensive rehabilitation and reintegration program for individuals who have been radicalized, empowering communities through education, building strong partnerships between communities and security agencies, and between parents and their children were among the interventions proposed with the goal of reducing radicalization. The study identified the drivers of youth radicalization in Isiolo County and strategies to prevent and counter youth radicalization in Isiolo County were proposed. The objective of this study was to examine the drivers of youth radicalization into Violent Extremist Organizations in Isiolo County, Kenya. Literature review included conducting an extensive review on the existing literature, reports, legal frameworks and previous research papers in line with the project title was done in line with the objective.
