Kwoyelo's trial raises complex ethical questions about accountability in cases involving former child soldiers. The defendant maintained he was abducted as a young boy and faced death for disobeying LRA leader Joseph Kony. The long delay in bringing Kwoyelo to trial and the selective prosecution of LRA members while sparing some Ugandan military commanders accused of abuses highlight potential inconsistencies in the pursuit of justice.
