ABSTRACT
The conflict situation in northern and theInternational Criminal Court intervention therein is one of those spaces where transitional justice complexity manifests. Although the Uganda National Liberation Army was a national and multi-ethnic army, the National Resistance Movement/Army held the Acholi exclusively responsible for the atrocities committed. This perception was to shape subsequent attitudes towards the conflict in Luwero, the conflict in northern Uganda and the Acholi population in general. The involvement of the Government of Sudan through the provision of military support to the Lord’s Resistance Army was one of the most devastating and complicating contributions to the conflict and played a significant role in the longevity of the northern Uganda conflict. The protracted conflict in northern Uganda was characterised by massive human rights violations suffered in the hands of the rebels as well as government soldiers. The dynamics of the war in terms of its various aspects, exploring the criminal, sociopolitical and moral dimensions of the conflict.
