Gulu District Chairman Norbert Mao wrote in The New Vision earlier this week that "Amnesty International's reaction to the Juba talks smacks of arrogance." After last week's agreement, Amnesty insisted that the LRA rebels should be arrested and tried by the ICC, not domestic tribunals. Mao argues, "Their arguments were on shaky legal grounds and smacked of arrogance and conceit. They did not care that the deal recognised the principle of complementarity. International justice is not intended to supplant domestic processes, but to complement them." We too were also disappointed that Amnesty struck such an ideological position without considering the practical realities of the situation on the ground and a more holistic understanding of justice. Human Rights Watch took a much more flexible position, recognizing that the ICC itself respects local forms of justice first and foremost.
