Abstract

The attempts to solve the armed conflict in northern Uganda have been viewed as Peace versus Justice. This difference reflects another perception of opposites: international (Western) law and (traditional) culture. Jurisprudence and anthropology would seem to represent opposing poles in this drama. Nevertheless, if we see law as a target-oriented law, these two branches of science would have much to offer to each other, being together able to create a reality in which global law and local understandings would both be able to promote glocal peace in a fruitful cooperation. A people's law would promote success and proactive responsibility in the contextual real world populated by human beings with human minds. In this law justice would not be the opposite of peace, but law would be able to promote peace. The challenge is to create de facto functioning measures.
