Kenya Entangled in Proscribed Crimes of Terrorism and Violations of Human Rights Law
Abstract
The Republic of Kenya is one of the youngest
African States emerging from British Colonial power since
1963. Since then it has been caught up in series of terrorist
attacks claiming damages and harms to civilians. As the
State tends to comply with its international law obligations a
number of issues are being raised especially from human
rights law whether the government has acted within the law
and in good faith. This research investigates the legality of
terrorism and counter reactions emerging from the State
authority.
