For more than 20 years, the Ugandan government has been fighting the Lord's Resistance Army led by Joseph Kony. While his army of child soldiers roams Sudan and the DR Congo, The International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague hopes to try him one day. Dutch filmmaker Klaartje Quirijns managed to lay her hands on rare recordings of peace negotiations with Kony in the jungle.

Following a screening of Quirijns’ documentary “Peace vs Justice”, the Frontline Club in London hosts a panel discussion where the debate turns to the fact that Western perpetrators of crimes against humanity are never pursued by the ICC.
