Ugandan rebel leader Joseph Kony has said he is ready to face justice in Uganda. Unfortunately, he is still wanted by the ICC, so he will not come out of hiding for fear of ICC arrest warrants. Ugandans had hoped the ICC would drop the charges against Kony so that he will agree to a peace deal, but thus far the ICC has refused.
The ICC appears to either be stubborn or cautious. They may want to try the case because they feel it is strong and would give them a much needed boost. Or, they may want to ensure that Kony is actually tried in Uganda before dropping the charges and having to start all over again. Unfortunately, Ugandans continue to suffer in the meantime.
