The ICC’s Involvement in the Conflict in Darfur and the Peace Versus Justice Debate

  • Kasahun Molla

Abstract

The involvement of the ICC in Darfur, Sudan has elicited many mixed legal and political reactions. Critics of the ICC’s involvement, among other things, claim that the involvement of the ICC could drive Sudan into dissolution, undermine the peace process and prolong the violence. Advocates of ICC’s involvement, on the other hand, claim that the involvement of the ICC promotes the peace process, exposes the crimes perpetrated by the parties, stigmatizes leaders and eventually removes them from office. This article argues that tighter controls on humanitarian activities, a rally of support for those prosecuted and arrest warrants that were able to cause some travel inconveniences are the outcomes of the involvement of the ICC in Darfur.
