Abstract

The article explores how various institutions and individuals have compiled facts and accounted for the truths about Darfur, with a focus on the referral of named individuals to the International Criminal Court in The Hague. Collecting evidence for the use in the ICC in The Hague is an exercise of translating local events in Darfur to an international vocabulary of judgment and justice. The referral makes the crisis transcend locality and become the responsibility of the international community. By providing a deeper semantic analysis of the meanings associated with international justice, the article explores how it is possible for a local series of atrocities in a remote corner of the Arab world to be recast in the moral vocabulary of a Western judicial system.
