Abstract
This chapter presents the important issues from the discussions of the interventions of the ICC in Kenya, Uganda and Côte d’Ivoire, as well as the causes and nature of the violent conflicts, the review of literature, and the analysis of the major findings of the study to provide a synthesis of the arguments proffered in this book. It summarises the research findings, outlines the major recommendations, acknowledges the limitations of the study and closes with a final observation. The book demonstrated how the decisions to intervene and the actual interventions can change the dynamics in a post-conflict situation. It also explored the tensions of deploying an international Court in a national setting, which unearths the complexities and challenges of the contest between international accountability and state sovereignty.
