Until last March Riek Machar was the vice-president of South Sudan. He is now on trial for war crimes. And it\u2019s not the first time justice is being instrumentalized for politics in the world\u2019s younger state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

In South Sudan, all eyes are on the high profile and politically significant trial of opposition leader, Dr. Riek Machar, and seven other officials in his party, Sudan People\u2019s Liberation Army-in-Opposition (SPLM-IO). The accused are among dozens rounded up<\/a> by government security following an attack in early March by the White Army<\/a>, an ethnic Nuer youth militia, on a government army base in the northeast town of Nasir, in Upper Nile state \u2013 a Machar stronghold where political violence<\/a> had been raging for weeks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Monday, September 29, a Special Court for National Crimes \u2013 established specifically to try the accused \u2013 ruled the case may proceed<\/a> to the merits, rejecting defence team arguments that the court has no jurisdiction because the Nasir attack qualifies as a violation of ceasefire agreements, and should be dealt with by ceasefire monitoring mechanism; that serious criminal charges should be tried by the Hybrid Court, which the 2018 peace agreement calls for; and that in any case, Machar, as First Vice President, has immunity from prosecution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Government officials say hundreds were killed, including a general, and accused Machar of commanding the attack and \u201cencouraging his forces to rebel.\u201d\u00a0In late March, security forces placed him under house arrest and detained dozens of others in unknown locations. They were held for months without charges or access to lawyers. On September 11, the minister of justice finally\u00a0announced charges<\/a>\u00a0for murder, treason and crimes against humanity. The same day, President Salva Kiir suspended Machar from his role as first vice president and the petroleum minister from his role in the transitional government.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

President Kiir\u2019s battle of succession<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This week, the prosecution announced more than 20 charges<\/a> based on South Sudan\u2019s criminal laws including murder, terrorism, treason and war crimes, and said they plan to hear from more than 100 witnesses. The minister\u2019s prior mention of \u201ccrimes against humanity\u201d appears to have been replaced by \u201cwar crimes,\u201d though the basis for these charges isn\u2019t clear: South Sudan\u2019s penal code doesn\u2019t include international crimes, and although the Geneva Conventions Act passed in 2012, the legislation hasn\u2019t been mentioned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The trial began with an investigator reading statements<\/a> of some of the accused who described being \u201ckidnapped\u201d and detained rather than lawfully arrested, underscoring the due process<\/a> violations that have so far marred this case. Machar\u2019s party\u00a0spokesman<\/a>\u00a0has called the charges a \u201cpolitical witch-hunt,\u201d and \u201csham trial<\/a>\u201d by a \u201ckangaroo court.\u201d Many observers have warned that the whole affair appears politically motivated and signals the unravelling of the 2018 peace deal. Under the terms of that deal, the Revitalized Agreement for the Resolution of Conflict in the Republic of South Sudan, Kiir\u2019s ruling SPLM party shares power with Machar\u2019s SPLM-IO and three other parties until elections are held and the transitional period ends.<\/p>\n\n\n\t

Yet the agreement\u2019s timeline has shifted several times and elections have been postponed twice<\/a>, now until December 2026. The government assures the international community that the agreement is on track<\/a>, but its most consequential provisions \u2013 elections, integration of security forces into a unified army, constitution-drafting, a hybrid court to try grave crimes \u2013 have not materialized. Various forces and allied militias continue to fight, often along ethnic lines, across the country including in restive parts of Upper Nile, where the army has used incendiary bombs<\/a>, which could amount to war crimes.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One analyst called it \u201cthe latest attempt by [74-year old] President Kiir, whose health is poor, to side-line his long-time rival and consolidate power as speculation mounts of his eventual succession.\u201d In recent months, Kiir dismissed key allies and promoted a young business partner, Benjamin Bol Mel, to be his new heir apparent<\/a>. If elections proceed, it is not clear Mel could win or that the regime will survive infighting that results from his ascent. \u201cThe government doesn\u2019t want Riek [Machar] to contest in the elections and even if there are no elections, they want to keep Riek far from politics,\u201d another analyst told me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A warning sign<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It isn\u2019t the first time South Sudan\u2019s courts have been instrumentalized for politics. The rivalry between Kiir, who is Dinka, and Machar, who is Nuer \u2013 widely understood to be at the root of the ethnic fighting that broke out in December 2013 and ravaged the country just two-and-a-half years after it gained independence \u2013 already played out in court in 2014. The government then brought charges of treason<\/a> against Machar, who fled the country, and 13 others. Months later, authorities released many of the political detainees as part of a peace deal and ultimately dismissed charges against all of them for lack of evidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

South Sudanese remember this well and see the warning signs all too clearly. The stripping of official positions, use of the courts against political foes, and delaying peace agreement implementation with conflict simmering all around do not bode well. South Sudan\u2019s Civil Society Forum called for judicial independence, due process, and restraint from \u201cpolitical interference or incitement,\u201d noting that the case \u201cwill have profound implications for peacebuilding, national healing, reconciliation, and justice for all South Sudanese people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n
