The End of Impunity?
After the Kingpins, What Next for Guinea-Bissau?
This paper focuses on the weaknesses of Guinea-Bissau's criminal justice system, including the legal impunity routinely granted to criminals. Yes, the government has tried to prosecute local drug lords, but to limited effect. As long as proper legal follow-ups and processes remain absent, the country will have to worry about fending off instability and conflict rather than preparing for 'democratic' elections.
