Book Description
Since July 2007, the Committee on the Judiciary and its staff have been investigating allegations that political considerations may have improperly influenced federal criminal prosecutions in a number of cases around the country. For the reasons described as follows, further action along the following lines is recommended: 1) Justice Department internal oversight offices should conduct a thorough investigation and report on these troubling allegations of selective, politically motivated federal prosecutions 2) The Committee's investigation should continue and further efforts should be made to obtain relevant documents about the cases described in this book, and 3) As part of that investigation, efforts should be made to obtain testimony from Karl Rove. This book describes the progress of the investigation on allegations of selective and politically-motivated prosecution and summarises troubling evidence regarding several federal criminal cases. Because the Department of Justice has largely refused to co-operate with the Committee's investigation, key facts remain unknown and reliable final judgements cannot be made. However, given the troublesome facts identified to date, it is clear at a minimum that current and former Department leadership has been derelict in failing to review these matters and reassure the American people that federal law enforcement is impartial and fair.

Book Description
The dynamics of enforcing international criminal justice through the International Criminal Court (ICC) has become a challenging exercise in Africa. At times the uneasy relationship between the ICC, the African Union, and a few influential African states has given rise to concerns about the future of international criminal justice in general, and in Africa in particular. Still, the enthusiasts for international criminal justice as enforced by the ICC, interpret the challenges that the ICC is encountering in Africa as part of the growing pains of a new institution in the international system. The distractors have already prepared the ICC's obituary. One of the criticisms levelled against the ICC, and which is the motivation for, and central theme behind, this book is that the ICC has morphed and ceased to be an independent legal institution, instead becoming a political tool utilized by politically powerful states in the West against their political opponents in Africa. More specifically, the Court is alleged to be selectively enforcing international criminal law by only officially opening investigations and prosecutions in Africa. Although this book recognizes that selective implementation of criminal justice is acceptable both at the domestic and international level, it analyzes the legal and political factors behind the Court's focus on international crimes committed in Africa when there are other situations to which the court should potentially turn its attention, such as in Syria, Afghanistan or the Occupied Palestinian Territories. The book seeks to determine whether such a focus implies that Africa has the monopoly over international crimes or whether African victims or perpetrators are any different from those in the Middle East? In addition the book attempts to uncover the basis and the validity of the African Union and some African states' criticisms of the ICC.
