The book investigates how involvement by the International Criminal
Court (ICC) affects efforts to negotiate peace. It offers an
interpretive account of how peace negotiators and mediators in two
peace processes in Uganda and Kenya sought to navigate and
understand the new terrain of international justice, while also
tracing how and why international decision-making processes
interfered with the negotiations, narrated the conflicts and
insisted on a narrow scope of justice. Building on this
interpretive analysis, a comparative analysis of peace processes in
Uganda, Kenya and Colombia explores a set of general features
pertaining to the judicialisation of peace. Line Engbo Gissel
argues that the level and timing of ICC involvement is key to the
ICC's impact on peace processes and explains why this is the case:
a high level of ICC involvement during the negotiation phase of a
peace process delegates politico-legal and discursive authority
away from peace process actors, while a low level of ICC
involvement during the negotiation phase retains such forms of
authority at the level of the peace process. As politico-legal
authority enables the resolution of sticking points and discursive
authority constructs the conflict and its resolution, the location
of authority is important for the peace process. Furthermore,
judicialisation also affects the negotiation and implementation of
a justice policy, with a narrowing scope for justice accompanying
increasing levels of ICC involvement.
