Summary

Certain commentators believe that domestic resort to alternative resolution (justice) mechanisms (‘ARMs’), such as Uganda's mato oput (a local tribal rite) or truth commissions, can relieve the International Criminal Court (‘ICC’) of its obligation to prosecute under the complementarity principle. However, this literature provides only general suggestions for how the ICC could determine whether alternative mechanisms render a case inadmissible under the complementarity regime. This chapter proposes a concrete set of analytic criteria the ICC can use to formulate an admissibility test for conducting complementarity analysis in difficult cases of municipal reliance on ARMs.

The admissibility test entails consideration and parsing of five categories: (1) the circumstances surrounding the ICC referral and request for deferral; (2) the political system and infrastructure in the domestic jurisdiction; (3) the ARM itself; (4) the crimes at issue; and (5) the prosecution target. The chapter demonstrates that, although it would be rare, some alternative justice proposals – especially those that mix and match ARMs and combine them with domestic criminal trials – might pass the proposed complementarity admissibility test. In the end, this analysis helps illuminate our increasingly complex understanding of the relationship between international criminal law and local initiatives in situations of gross human rights violations. Effective atrocity justice, the chapter contends, entails a proper division of labor between local restoration and global retribution. While complementarity could be the ideal medium through which to achieve that allocation, the proposed analytic criteria should be used to weave both peace and justice more seamlessly into the procedural fabric of international criminal law.

Gacaca Law (Modified 2004) constitutes a more significant re-writing of parts of the original Organic Law than do Gacaca Law (Modified 2001) or Gacaca Law (Modified 2006). The 2001 and 2006 revised documents are concerned more with minor changes to the wording of several sections of the Organic Law, while the 2004 version comprises several important reforms of the gacaca process

Organic Law, supra note 63. Article 51 of the Gacaca Law (Modified 2004) legislation creates three categories of offenders: (1) Category 1 – planners, leaders, notorious murderers, torturers, rapists and sexual torturers
