metadata.value: Hissène Habré seized power in Chad as a result of long civil war in 1982 and organized largescale
  repressions of his political enemies during his rule. In 1990, he was deposed by a military
  coup and fled to Senegal, where he got asylum. This paper discusses the institutional aspects
  of the legal prosecution of H. Habré, which began in 2003 when proceedings against him were
  instituted in Belgium, and analyzes the Judgment of the UN International Court of Justice
  in the case of Belgium v. Senegal of 2012. Much attention is paid to the special international
  court — the Extraordinary African Chambers in the Senegalese legal system that were established
  by the Agreement between the African Union and Senegal in 2012 to investigate
  international crimes committed on the territory of Chad from 1982 to 1990. This paper analyzes
  the structure of the Extraordinary African Chambers and their jurisdiction. In 2016, the
  Extraordinary African Chambers sentenced H. Habré to life imprisonment, and this verdict
  came into force in 2017. According to the author’s opinion, the trial of H. Habré has important
  political and juridical meaning. A politician, who had come to power with the help of the
  United States and other Western countries and who had been their strong ally during his rule,
  protecting their interests in Central Africa, was brought to justice.
