Navigating Normative Pluralism in Northern Uganda
from Part II - Sentiments
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 05 May 2022
Chapter 6 focuses on the production of justice on the ground in northern Uganda. By analysing the normative pluralism that exists in northern Uganda, the chapter shows that the legitimacy of the ICC depends on how people assess the legitimacy of international criminal law relative to all other normative systems that are available and could be called upon to address the crimes committed during the conflict between the Lord’s Resistance Army and the Uganda People’s Defence Force. From this perspective the chapter shows that actors navigate this normative pluralism by producing, mobilizing, and transforming sentiments. By investigating the narratives through which people substantiate their justice assessments in terms of emotions, it is possible to better understand the local justice dynamics on the ground.
