Abstract
Nonetheless, this work highlights how the SCSL served as a bridge between the UN Chapter VII ad hoc tribunals and the permanent ICC. (Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 2020), isbn: 9781316823491, 250 pp, £85.00 Seven years since the closure of the Special Court for Sierra Leone (SCSL) and 18 years since it was established by the United Nations (UN) and Government of Sierra Leone (GoSL) as the first "hybrid" international criminal tribunal, a comprehensive assessment of the legal legacy of the SCSL is overdue.[1] In I The Legal Legacy of the Special Court for Sierra Leone i , Charles C. Jalloh seeks to provide that audit of the SCSL's main judicial legacy and contributions to the development of public international law. Even though a question remains as to whether Jalloh was ambitious enough in the reach of his analysis to meet his aim of comprehensively assessing the SCSL's legal legacy for the advancement of international law, at base, the book provides a solid foundation on which future scholarship on the SCSL's legacy can build.
