摘要 多米尼克·翁文 (Dominic Ongwen) 是一名被起诉的战犯，曾是世界上最残暴的叛乱组织之一圣主抵抗军 (LRA) 的儿童兵。翁文既是受害者又是肇事者：什么司法策略是相关的？我引入复杂政治肇事者的概念来描述在长期危机环境中占据极其边缘空间并使用暴力作为政治机构表达的年轻人。翁文代表了一群在非自由战争经济的阴影下“成长”的年轻叛逆者。这些复杂的政治肇事者被排除在政体之外，或者更确切地说从未在政体中被社会化，因此必须在大规模暴行后关于过渡正义的辩论中认识到这些复杂的政治肇事者，以免以另一种方式政治的排斥和暴力循环继续下去。
ABSTRACT Dominic Ongwen is an indicted war criminal and former child soldier in one of the world's most brutal rebel organisations, the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA). Ongwen is at once victim and perpetrator: what justice strategy is relevant? I introduce the concept of complex political perpetrators to describe youth who occupy extremely marginal spaces in settings of chronic crisis, and who use violence as an expression of political agency. Ongwen represents a troupe of young rebels who were ‘bred’ in the shadows of illiberal war economies. Excluded from the polity, or rather never having been socialised within it, such complex political perpetrators must be recognised in the debate on transitional justice after mass atrocity, lest cycles of exclusion and violence as politics by another means continue.
