Suing the Colonial State

I am not an expert on these issues by any means, but the idea of British courts allowing a lawsuit against the British state by those who suffered during colonialism is fascinating. At the very least, these lawsuits may force modern-day Britain to confront their colonial legacy in a way they’ve been avoiding for decades. It also seems that the British destroyed a tremendous number of documents about their colonial regimes, including the brutal repression of the Mau Mau Rebellion, which is the basis of this lawsuit.
