- Summary:
- "The International Criminal Court (ICC) has run into problems with its first big case - the situation in northern Uganda. There is no doubt that appalling crimes have occurred here. Over a million people have been forced to live in overcrowded displacement camps under the control of the Ugandan army. Joseph Kony's Lord's Resistance Army has abducted thousands, many of them children, and has systematically tortured, raped, maimed and killed. Nevertheless, the ICC has confronted outright hostility from a wide range of groups, including traditional leaders, representatives of the Christian Churches and non-governmental organizations. Even the Ugandan government, which invited the court to become involved, has been expressing serious reservations." "While recognizing the difficulties involved, Tim Allen shows that much of the antipathy towards the ICC's intervention is misplaced. He also draws out important wider implications of what has happened."--Jacket.
