Abstract
Capacity to prosecute core international crimes of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes is emanating and concentrated at the international tribunals. What about other places making disturbing headlines in the media of suspected large scale crimes? Are they similarly equipped to conduct investigations of “…a level of complexity which dwarfs any domestic criminal proceedings, even the most complicated fraud cases” . Domestication of core international crimes in the national jurisdictions through developing local capacities, the process widely referred to as “positive complementarity”, is a subject of the present research.
