In dealing with perpetrators of so-called atrocity crimes, international law allows no amnesty for time elapsed or the seniority of the accused. That should make dictators and warlords wary everywhere, and especially in Africa, site of so many heinous deeds in recent decades. In the past 13 years international courts have prosecuted five heads of state, four of them African. None of these prosecutions has so far resulted in a verdict. But it is still rare for African countries to put their rulers in the dock--perhaps because incumbents fear creating an unwanted precedent if and when their turn comes.
