A body from an old war and a missing girl bring retired mercenary Sonja Kurtz home to Africa's deadly Skeleton Coast. Sonja Kurtz – former soldier, supposedly retired mercenary - is in Vietnam carrying out a personal revenge mission when her daughter sends a call for help. Emma, a student archaeologist, on a dig at the edge of Namibia’s Etosha National Park has discovered a body dating back to the country’s liberation war of the 1980s.

International law is not static; it develops constantly. Namibia is classic case, illustrating the changing law of nations. International Law and the Protection of Namibia's Territorial Integrity: Boundaries and Territorial Claims demonstrates this with an analysis of the legal and factual elements present in the creation, boundaries and territorial claims of Namibia, and the determinations of the League of Nations and the political organs of the United Nations which developed and clarified the rules of international law. Nambia's unique international status and diplomatic history requires the consideration of a large number of different topics within public international law. Some of these issues are very complex and technical, as they involve major questions of international law and politics. Through the use of primary sources, case law, state practice and the opinions of eminent jurists, the author addresses these challenging and revealing issues. Anyone interested in public international law, international relations, political science, history, or geography will appreciate the way that this work covers the interesting and informative changes in this revealing nation.

According to Michael Tombs, “To prove murder, you have to prove intent. And you must prove intent not by the laws of today but by the laws of the time.” The collapse of the economic, financial, and political structure in the North African and the Middle Eastern nations of Libya, Iraq, and Syria came to an abrupt silent void of no top-down communication within the local governments and their national leadership. In societies where human rights are ignored, in my opinion, the first institutions to be dismantled in an internal civil war, in my professional opinion, usually are the local jails, followed by the regional penitentiaries, and finally all of the national prisons. According to the Black Youth Organization, “City after city in Libya, Iraq, and Syria experienced internal civil wars and violent prison escapes. The local terrorist’s suicide bomber leaders in these nations organized a modern, well-armed military of escaped prisoners into a terrorist army that, through military force, captured and occupied very large areas of land in many parts of Libya, Iraq, and Syria. The major terrorist who emerged as the leader of this rebel terrorist’s modern military army of ex-prisoners is identified by intelligence sources in the Black Youth Organization to be Zawahiri Abu Bakr.”
