For the first time, an African war criminal had been convicted on African soil.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHaving followed the trial from the very beginning and interviewed many of those involved, journalist Celeste Hicks tells the remarkable story of how Habré was brought to justice. His conviction followed a heroic 25 year campaign by activists and survivors of Habré's atrocities, which succeeded despite international indifference, opposition from Habré's allies, and several failed attempts to bring him to trial in Europe and elsewhere. In the face of such overwhelming odds, the conviction of a once untouchable tyrant represents a major turning point, with profound implications for African justice and the future of human rights activism globally.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Celeste Hicks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1786991837\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781786991836\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/15\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.70d","brand":"Celeste Hicks","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47759692693759,"sku":"9781786991836","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1499067e-bd8f-49ef-83a3-c345300cd3d6.jpg?v=1765512822","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-trial-of-hisszune-habrzs-celeste-hicks-9781786991836","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
