Dominic Ongwen Case at the International Criminal Court or When the Defendant, in Actuality, is Also a Victim
The theme of the research is to deal with the Dominic Ongwen Case at the International Criminal Court. The research has the problem of criticizing the ICC’s sentence as selective, finding that the past of violence suffered by the defendant was not properly considered in the analysis of guilt for the crimes attributed to him before the international court. This is exploratory, qualitative research, using bibliographic resources and a dialectical method, using a concrete case. Therefore, it was noted that, in these regions, children are abruptly removed from their families and taken by groups to be trained with cruelty to handle weapons, loot warehouses, kill civilians, terrorize communities and are forced to use drugs. The ICC created by the United Nations (UN), based in The Hague, is the world’s first permanent international court to prosecute some of the most heinous crimes, including genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity. This demonstrates that international defense organizations seek, with stricter laws, to stop this practice, but there is still a long way to go to achieve the special objective of the full protection of children. This is exploratory, qualitative research, using bibliographic resources and a dialectical method, using a concrete case.
