“We have no bias, we listen to the victims,” Moreno-Ocampo said. “The people who are suspects will have all the right to defend themselves,”
The United States has issued troops to intervene in Uganda, and the ICC will proceed will investigations in the Ivory Coast–after the French and African forces negotiating the transition have completed their task sans accountability.
Perhaps there needs to be a justice watchdog? Clearly political statements and actions cannot be used to justify apolitical action can they? And perhaps those who are victims, might only be considered such in opposition to suspects anyway, after trials have concluded?
Finally, I have a hard time believing that for Ugandans, the area where intervention, military and justice meet will be the cornerstone of legitimacy and reconciliation.
