This Report examines the prospects for a complementary accountability process to deal with the post-election violence (PEV) that took place in Kenya following the disputed presidential election in December 2007.
Although government officials have long claimed that an accountability process is underway, more than four years after the violence took place, little effort has been made at the national level to address criminal accountability.
This Report is an attempt to create a framework for constructing a legitimate and credible accountability mechanism – complementary to the ongoing International Criminal Court (ICC) cases, not a means to “bring the ICC cases home.”
