I would like to dedicate this book to the memories of my father David Obowhodo Ojarikre who passed away on 20 July 2012 and my brother Emmanuel Ariomaghwa Ojarikre whose untimely death in an auto crash on 16 June 2016 robbed the world of a humane, kind and compassionate vibrant man who would have contributed immensely to the promotion of a world full of laughter, kindness and peace. The demise of my brother is a huge lesson to me and to all who knew him of the futility and vanity of all the struggles of life. Whilst I still have breath, all that counts is ensuring togetherness, peace, love and joy to every soul, and I am highly motivated in the pursuit of friendship and togetherness as epitomised in the complementarity regime of the International Criminal Court to stamp out atrocities and ensure peace in our world.
