Thesis (Ph.D.)--Indiana University, 2012.

If the goal of the international criminal justice system is to foster peace and reconciliation in the aftermath of mass atrocity, what victims of mass atrocity perceive as justice should trump other considerations. This thesis focuses on what victims of mass atrocity want in dispute settlement processes through interviews conducted in IDP camps among actors in northern Uganda conflicts, in which the International Criminal Court and Ugandan indigenous dispute settlement processes have intervened, to ask how victims of the conflict assess their own justice system (mato oput) and that of the international criminal court as responses to mass atrocity. This study also turns to responses to crimes against humanity in Rwanda and Sierra Leone to examine the effectiveness of official international and indigenous interventions in violent international crimes.

520 $a If the goal of the international criminal justice system is to foster peace and reconciliation in the aftermath of mass atrocity, what victims of mass atrocity perceive as justice should trump other considerations. This thesis focuses on what victims of mass atrocity want in dispute settlement processes through interviews conducted in IDP camps among actors in northern Uganda conflicts, in which the International Criminal Court and Ugandan indigenous dispute settlement processes have intervened, to ask how victims of the conflict assess their own justice system (mato oput) and that of the international criminal court as responses to mass atrocity. This study also turns to responses to crimes against humanity in Rwanda and Sierra Leone to examine the effectiveness of official international and indigenous interventions in violent international crimes.
520 $a Using northern Uganda as an example, this dissertation suggests a multifaceted response to violent crimes against humanity that considers the need for justice, accountability and reconciliation and, importantly, addresses contexts in which sources of conflict are embedded and arise. It suggests formal recognition within statutes of the International Criminal Court of indigenous dispute settlement mechanisms as acceptable alternatives to the ICC in providing justice to victims of international crimes. Their success in responding to the northern Uganda conflict could serve as a partial blueprint for other conflict areas in Africa.
520 $a This thesis also considers an expanded role for criminology in study of collective violence that result in international crimes. Research on international crimes suggests their root causes are not entirely comparable to causes of street crimes, including assault, murder, and robbery, that Western criminological research and theory identify. A weakness in Western-based international adjudication as a response to crimes against humanity may therefore lie in the fact that these crimes are committed by collectivities on a communal basis.
