- W2567738893 abstract "This article revisits the truth versus justice debate in the context of recent developments in Uganda related to the International Criminal Court. It updates the prior article, Linda M. Keller, Achieving Peace with Justice: The International Criminal Court and Ugandan Alternative Justice Mechanisms, 23 Conn. J. Int’l L. 209, 209 (2008) (http://ssrn.com/abstract=1018539). Although the notorious Joseph Kony of the Lord’s Resistance Army remains at large, one alleged LRA commander is facing trial at the ICC, Dominic Ongwen. Another alleged LRA commander, Thomas Kwoyelo, has been imprisoned in Uganda during a long controversy over whether he is entitled to amnesty; after a Supreme Court ruling overcoming the obstacle of Uganda’s Amnesty Act, he is supposed to go to trial before the Ugandan High Court’s International Crimes Division. The more recent events do not offer much insight on the peace versus justice dilemma. With regard to whether domestic prosecution or traditional alternatives further the goals of international criminal justice, the current situation remains murky. It seems that neither the ICC nor Uganda has faced the hard questions. Rather than requesting that Ongwen be prosecuted in Uganda, it seems that Uganda found it more convenient, for resource and political reasons, to leave Ongwen’s controversial prosecution to the ICC. Rather than using the Kwoyelo case as an opportunity to establish a coherent policy on amnesty or other non-prosecutorial alternatives, it seems making an example of Kwoyelo was politically expedient at the time. Although the prosecution of Kwoyelo could be the harbinger of a push for prosecutorial accountability for LRA in Uganda, the far more numerous examples of LRA members receiving amnesty call this into question. Given the difficulties encountered to date in prosecuting Kwoyelo before domestic courts, it seems unlikely the Ugandan government will be eager to withhold amnesty from others. A successful conclusion to the Kwoyelo prosecution, however, may lead to the opposite reaction. Although both Ongwen and Kwoyelo could have presented opportunities for Uganda and the international community to grapple with serious questions raised by different theoretical approaches to peace and justice, neither seems to have yielded a well thought-out approach or strategy. It remains to be seen whether future opportunities will present themselves, and if so, whether the Ugandan government and international community are able to take advantage of them to advance peace with justice." @default.
