International Criminal Law & Its Paradoxes: Implications for Institutions and Practice

Research output: Contribution to journalJournal articlepeer-review

This article challenges international criminal tribunals' (ICTs) capacity to perform the
socially constitutive work of transitional justice. Highlighting paradigmatic ICT
jurisprudence, it shows both the "progress" and "justice" constructs central to the work
and legitimacy of international criminal law are unrealizable under current ICT practice. This is due to international criminal law's foundational, legitimizing basis in natural law, rather than political liberalism. The article calls for a revision of ICT institutional accountability structures.
