On 4 February, the International Criminal Court (ICC) convicted Dominic Ongwen of 61 counts of war crimes and crimes against humanity, including murder, rape, torture, sexual slavery and abusing child soldiers. He was a former warlord under the Joseph Kony-led Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA).
The objective of this article is to put this tragic episode in a historical context so that we learn from it.
Historical context
The story goes back to Africa’s colonisation at the Berlin Conference in 1884-85. The European imperial powers sat around a table in Berlin with a map of Africa, and chopped up Africa into bits and pieces regardless of people’s ethnic and cultural identities. We all know this.

(The Hague) – The conviction of Dominic Ongwen on February 4, 2021 is a major step for justice for widespread atrocities committed by the brutal Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) in northern Uganda, Human Rights Watch said today. The guilty verdict at the International Criminal Court (ICC) shows that rights abusers can find themselves held to account even if years have passed since their crimes.
Ongwen is the first LRA leader to be tried before the ICC, and the first to be convicted for LRA crimes anywhere in the world.
