LAST week an American filmmaker's 29-minute documentary about a campaign to bring a Ugandan warlord to justice stopped the planet.

Jason Russell's provocative and divisive KONY 2012 captured global attention, sparking a viral social media movement and attracting the eyes and ears of media outlets everywhere.

At time of writing, the film that aims to make Joseph Kony famous, has drawn 72.9 million views on YouTube and 16.3 million on Vimeo.

OK. So essentially the world now knows all about Kony, the outlawed leader of the Lord's Resistance Army, a guerilla group responsible for the abduction, enslavement and rape of tens of thousands of children.

As the manhunt for Kony continues (he's believed to be hiding in the Central African Republic), news.com.au takes a look at nine other notorious figures under the watch of the International Criminal Court.

Kony was the first man indicted by the ICC, in 2005, and the other nine names on this list round out the first 10 targets of the Hague-based justice body.

Raska Lukwiya

Indicted: July, 2005

Country: Uganda

Charges: 4 - Crimes against humanity (enslavement); War crimes (cruel treatment, attacks on civilians)

Status: Dead. Lukwiya was third in command of the LRA, led by Kony. He was killed in 2006 by Uganda's military, amid faltering peace negotiations. His death prompted the ICC to terminate its case.

Okot Odhiambo

Indicted: July, 2005

Country: Uganda

Charges: 10 - Crimes against humanity (murder, enslavement); war crimes (murder, intentionally directing attacks against civilian populations, pillaging, forced enlisting of children)

Status: Unknown. Odhiambo defected from the LRA in 2009 after a serious gunshot wound. This story is disputed by the LRA, which claims it was concocted by Uganda's military. A senior member of the guerilla group, he's also known as Two Victor. His whereabouts are unknown. The ICC's case remains open, despite rumours of Odhiambo's death.

Dominic Ongwen

Indicted: July, 2005

Country: Uganda

Charges: 7 - Crimes against humanity (murder, enslavement, inhumane acts of inflicting serious bodily injury and suffering); war crimes (murder, cruel treatment of civilians, intentionally directing attacks against civilian populations, pillaging)

Status: Fugitive. Interpol demanded his arrest in June 2006. Ongwen was reported to have been killed six years ago, but a DNA test proved that to be false. He's a former child soldier, abducted by the LRA when he was 10.

Country: Uganda

Charges: 32 - Crimes against humanity (murder, sexual enslavement, inhumane acts of inflicting serious bodily injury and suffering); (rape, intentionally directing an attack against a civilian population, forced enlistment of children, cruel treatment of civilians, pillaging)

Status: Dead. Otti was a founding member of the LRA and the second-in-charge to Kony. He was killed in 2007, though this was not confirmed until January 2008. It's reported he was executed by firing squad at Kony's request, for conspiring against the LRA leader. Awaiting his death, he's rumoured to have said:

"What crime have I committed? Are you really going to kill me? All along, I have been so good to you. Why can't you tell me my mistake? May God help you."
