In recent decades, international courts have increasingly started
investigating armed conflicts. However, the impact of this remains
under-researched. Patrick S. Wegner closes this gap via a
comprehensive analysis of the impact of the International Criminal
Court in the Darfur and Lord's Resistance Army conflicts. He offers
a fresh approach to peace and conflict studies, while avoiding the
current quantitative focus of the literature and polarisation
between critics and supporters of applying justice in conflicts.
This is the first time that the impact of an international criminal
court has been analysed in all its facets in two conflicts. The
consequences of these investigations are much more complex and
difficult to predict than most of the existing literature suggests.
Recurrent claims, such as the deterrent effect of trials and the
danger of blocking negotiations by the issuing of arrest warrants,
are put to the test here with some surprising results.
