Key questions might arise regarding the socio-contexts or political aims of Globalised criminal approaches as means of accountability. One question could be; whether States use international institutions and International Criminal Justice for partisan reasons? This question is linked with the aspect of legitimacy, which is used in this book to explore how transnational networks and NGOs (de)legitimise transitional justice. What is the state of transitional justice in Uganda? The chapter provides a historical analysis of the Northern Uganda situation, to set the stage for analysing the transitional justice mechanisms, for example, amnesties, traditional justice and formal criminal accountability. It highlights the tensions surrounding the application of traditional and formal justice mechanisms like the ICC intervention and prosecution. It also discusses the difficulties faced in relying on formal judicial systems and traces the cultural and social narratives around justice and reconciliation, whilst situating victims as the central subjects. Put succinctly, it is apt to suggest that Uganda is still a State under transition, from the emerging developments in transitional justice, including the adoption of a transitional justice policy.
