Beskrivning
Dominic Ongwen was abducted by Joseph Kony's Lord's Resistance Army while walking to school at the age of nine. He later rose through its ranks committing, and ultimately being convicted by the International Criminal Court (ICC) of, many of the same crimes of which he was once a victim. The Dilemma of Dominic Ongwen tells this extraordinary story through the voices of those who knew him best: family members, fighters, commanders, "wives," victims, and trial participants. Their testimonies, gathered in Uganda and The Hague, form the backbone of a narrative that interlaces survivor accounts with legal analysis and vivid excerpts from the ICC trial. The book offers a rare, human-centered lens on international justice, illuminating the dilemmas of prosecuting a former child soldier for mass atrocities. It provides indispensable insights for scholars of international criminal law, transitional justice, political violence, trauma, and human rights.

Recensioner i media

"The crime and punishment of a victim, a child soldier and a kind man but also a perpetrator of unimaginable atrocities, is laid bare in Anderson's perceptive and richly researched account, raising vexing questions about justice at the International Criminal Court." - William Schabas, author of The International Legal Order's Colour Line: Racism, Racial Discrimination, and the Making of International Law"Anderson narrates the life of a man who committed and suffered terrible crimes. Elegantly written, this erudite and engaging book unflinchingly unspools the dilemma that perpetrators, so easily stereotyped, are also so uneasily persons." - Mark A. Drumbl, Class of 1975 Alumni Professor and director of the Transnational Law Institute at Washington and Lee
