    TEAM ISRAEL Dan Leibovich, Kibutz Manara, Israel A new star was born… After hearing from Adi Yeger (Vice President of Special Olympics Israel) all about the impressive basketball game of the Special Olympics Israel team versus the Special Olympics Italy team and all about the almost impossible win, we could not help ourselves and just had to interview Dan Leibovich, a player and assistant to the coach of the Special Olympics Israel team. Dan has undoubtedly brought the big win to the team! As with most of the basketball players, our Dan is tall — rising up to the sky, and with his smooth tongue he managed to tell us all about his excitement for the Special Olympics World Games and the game versus Special Olympics Italy in particular. “At halftime of the game our team was 20 points behind, and then what seemed to be the impossible became reality!” Dan proved his ability, scoring 25 points and making three blocks in spite of the massive guarding of the Special Olympics Italy team and brought, along with his team mates, the victory to his team. How did you get to the Special Olympic World Games? “Two years ago I moved to Shafririm School in Givat Haim, and the gym teachers told me they wanted me for Special Olympics. Before moving to Shafririm, I played football on the Hapoel Upper Galilee team. When I got involved with Special Olympics I was very happy and my family supported me.” How does it feel to be in Ireland? “I’m very glad to be here.

The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without my prior written consent. I warrant that this authorisation does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. I declare that my thesis consists of 97,693 words. 2 Abstract The thesis examines the effects of interventions by the International Criminal Court (ICC) on peace, justice and conflict processes in northern Uganda and Libya. The 'peace versus justice' debate, wherein it is argued that the ICC has either positive or negative effects on 'peace’, has spawned in response to the Court's interventions into active and ongoing conflicts. The thesis is a response to and engagement with this debate. Despite often seeming persuasive, claims within the 'peace versus justice' debate have failed to set out a coherent research agenda on how to study the effects of the ICC's interventions on 'peace'.
