The German Federal Court of Justice announced on November 29, 2024 that it had rejected the appeal of a former member of a Gambian death squad who was sentenced to life imprisonment a year ago for his participation in two murders and three attempted murders, constituting crimes against humanity. This was the first trial in history to be held under the principle of universal jurisdiction for international crimes committed under former Gambian President Yahya Jammeh.
