Critical praise for this book
This is an important contribution to the current debate on the relationship between peace and international justice I enjoyed reading it and learnt much from it an excellent work. JUSTICE RICHARD GOLDSTONE, former Chief Prosecutor of the United Nations International Criminal Tribunals for the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda (The Hague Tribunal) and chairperson of the International Independent Inquiry on Kosovo.
An important and revealing account of efforts to resolve a bitter, exploitative, and under reported conflict that the international community should, and could have ended many, many years ago. Tim Allen has provided an early insight into the problems of resorting to the International Criminal Court in so challenging a circumstance. If the ICC cannot work to resolve a twenty year conflict with the lives of thousands of vulnerable young children at its core, when can it work? JON SNOW, broadcaster
Presents powerful and empirical support for the relevance of the ICC in one of the worlds worst humanitarian disasters. DAVID KEEN, author of Conflict and Collusion in Sierra Leone and The Benefits of Famine
Trial Justice is a timely and important contribution to a critical and often contentious debate about the role of international criminal justice in times of war and peace. ERIC STOVER, author of The Witnesses: War Crimes and the Promise of Justice in The Hague, and Director of the Human Rights Center and Adjunct Professor, School of Public Health, University of California, Berkeley
Critical praise for this book
Tim Allen has written a gripping and affirmative account of the complex encounter between international criminal law and African realities. MARY KALDOR, author of New and Old Wars: Organized Violence in a Global Era, and Director of the Centre for the Study of Global Governance
A seminal work that carefully evaluates the conflict that has raged in the region for nearly twenty years. Allen is an anthropologist who has been working in Northern Uganda for some time. His work, therefore, is of significant value. He is one of a handful of authors whose writing is supported by a deep knowledge and clear understanding of both the social complexities and the political realities of the region. JOANNA QUINN, Assistant Professor of Political Science, University of Western Ontario, commenting on a draft of the book in Transitional Justice Forum (http://tj-forum.org/archives/001506.html)
Tim Allen has written a provocative and illuminating analysis of the emerging practice of a new and potentially significant player in international affairs: the ICC. JENNY KUPER, author of International Law Concerning Child Civilians in Armed Conflict and Military Training and Children: Law, Policy and Practice
