Book Description
Detailing the striking features of Somali law - which is compensatory, rather than punitive - van Notten demonstrates how this legislature stands in line with the Latin and Medieval laws and English Common law. He delineates areas within Somali law that are in need of non-legislative change and shows clearly why any attempt to set up a democracy in Somalia would inevitably produce chaos.
