- Distant Justice stems from 11 years of research, including 650 interviews conducted in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Uganda and the International Criminal Court's headquarters in the Netherlands. As a monograph based on extensive empirical inquiry at the community, national and international levels, it constitutes a sustained research effort, resulting in a large body of original empirical material and a critical appraisal of the ICC's work through the 'distant justice' concept, which is already shaping debates around the Court. The book was shortlisted for the biennial Raphael Lemkin Award for the best book in genocide and mass atrocity studies.
