⁸ The ICTJ participated in a day-long workshop with both delegations in Juba held in advance of the drafting of the Agreement, organized by the mediation team which was headed by the Vice President of South Sudan, Riek Machar. The workshop was chaired by the Paramount Chief of the Acholi, Rwot David Acana II. ICTJ presented on international standards, the ICC, and complementarity. There were additional presentations by the Justice and Reconciliation Project on traditional justice (Boniface Ojok), and by the legal advisor to the mediator on Ugandan law (Barney Afako).

¹³ A similar question about mitigation in sentencing arose in the context of the Justice and Peace Law (2005) in Colombia. Under that law as revised by the Colombian Constitutional Court, demobilized paramilitaries who have committed international crimes are currently eligible for reduced sentences of five to eight years, provided they meet certain conditions specified in the law.
