The International Criminal Court (ICC) has run into serious problems with its first big case - the situation in northern Uganda. Joseph Kony's Lord's Resistance Army has abducted thousands, many of them children, and has systematically tortured, raped, maimed and killed its victims. Nevertheless, the ICC has confronted outright hostility from a wide range of groups, including traditional leaders, the churches and non-governmental organizations. Even the Ugandan government has expressed serious reservations. This book argues that much of the antipathy to the ICC is based upon ignorance and misconception. Drawing on field research in Uganda, it shows that victims are much more interested in punitive international justice than has been suggested, and that the ICC has made resolution of the war more likely.
