Where do you think the captured LRA commander Dominic Ongwen should be tried for his crimes against humanity?
BACKGROUND
Dominic Ongwen is considered by some to be a deputy commander to
the chief of the rebel group Lord's Resistance Army, Joseph Kony. He
was captured earlier this month in the Central African Republic by
the Seleka rebel group based there.
In a war that lasted 20 years in Northern Uganda and neighboring
countries, the LRA abducted thousands of children, forcing the boys
to become fighters and the girls to become sex slaves.
Ongwen has been taken into custody by forces from the United
States of America, and the International Criminal Court (ICC) wants
to put him on trial for war crimes and crimes against humanity. The
ICC is located in the Netherlands, and is responsible for trying
criminals for crimes like genocide, war crimes and other crimes
against humanity.
But Ugandan officials do not want Ongwen to be tried in an
international court. They want him to answer for his crimes in a
Ugandan court.
