L’internationalisation de la justice transitionnelle : l’affaire Hissène Habré
Julien Seroussi
In examining the determinants and outcomes of the democratization process, scholars have often underestimated the use of law by
reducing it to a mere instrument to legitimate political domination conquered by other means. Through analysis of the different attempts to put
former Chadian dictator Hissène Habré on trial, those initiated by the Chadian government, the victims’ association and national and international
NGOs, we argue that the outcome of any democratization process depends
on the legal choices made by the different actors involved.
