The ICC’s Outreach Work in Northern Uganda
from Part I - Atmospheres
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 05 May 2022
The third chapter shifts the ethnographic focus away from the courtroom in The Hague to rural northern Uganda. Through an ethnographic investigation of the ICC’s outreach work and the politics of memory in the region of Dominic Ongwen’s crimes, the chapter illustrates how all actors on the ground, including representatives of the ICC, engage in curating, manipulating, and shaping atmospheres. The chapter revisits current scholarship that aims to explain the limits and failures of transitional justice projects in Africa. Instead of focusing on perceived large-scale differences in cultural conceptions of law and justice, this chapter argues for a focus on concrete affective occurrences on the ground.
