ST Deep Space Nine "What you leave behind":
ODO: All I ask is that you Link with me. GARAK: I'm warning you,
Odo.
ODO: Nerys.
KIRA: Garak, put down your weapon.
GARAK: I don't think so.
KIRA: I said, put it down. (Odo does the Link and she is cured.)
GARAK: Move aside, Odo.
ODO: That won't be necessary. Will it?
FOUNDER: If you will stand aside, I'll order the Jem'Hadar to cease
fire.
GARAK: I suggest we secure her in a containment field.
ODO: Don't worry, Garak. She won't try to escape. She's agreed to
stand trial and accept responsibility for what she's done.
ST Deep Space Nine "What you leave behind":
(The surrender documents are being signed.)
FOUNDER: The war between the Dominion and the Federation Alliance is
now over.
ROSS: Four hundred years ago, a victorious general spoke the following
words at the end of another costly war. Today the guns are silent. A
great tragedy has ended. We have known the bitterness of defeat and
the exultation of triumph. From both we have learned there can be no
going back. We must go forward to preserve in peace what we've won in
war. (Douglas McArthur, WW2. The Founder is escorted from the table.)
FOUNDER: It's up to you now, Odo.
So Odo heals the founder and agrees to heal the great link. He's been in the great link before and they already know how he feels about "solids" and they manipulated him into almost assassinating Gowron as well as taking away his shape shifting powers.
I'm not sure exactly what the founder is going on trial for, but it wasn't her alone, and declaring war on somebody isn't a crime. If it was the entire great link should be on trial.
This didn't seem like a very good deal for the Federation unless there is something I don't know about.
In any event, what happens to the Jem'hadar, the dominion, all of their forces, and what guarantees are there that the great link won't attack again or manipulate odo again?
Any out of universe explanations, writers notes, guides, companions, etc. or in-canon stuff is welcomed. If there isn't anything then EU stuff is also welcome.
