Summary: Some critics of the International Criminal Court, often pointing to Sudan as an example, argue that the Court's prosecutions can undermine efforts to promote peace in ongoing conflicts. It is this tension between peace and justice in the Court that provides the central theme of this book. It focuses on prosecutions of Sudanese leaders and the Lord's Resistance Army of Uganda in order to argue that it is possible to work towards both peace and justice within the context of the Court, but that it will require greater cooperation between the Court and other international and national institutions
