Theatre of Violence: The ICC's landmark trial of a former child soldier
Briefly

Krispus Ayena raises pivotal questions about whether the ICC represents a new form of colonialism. He advocates for the nuanced perspectives surrounding justice for Dominic Ongwen.
Ayena emphasizes the complexities in Ongwen's case, arguing that prosecuting someone who was simultaneously a victim and a perpetrator can challenge the very foundations of justice and accountability.
The ICC's proceedings, occurring far from the Ugandan context, lead to concerns about whether true justice is being served or if another layer of colonial influence is at play.
In Ongwen's trial, Ayena seeks an acquittal not merely as a defense strategy but to spotlight the broader implications of how international courts engage with local realities.
