Summary
International judicial responses to conflict have been characterised by ad hoc-ism and deference to externally driven reform agendas. This project revisits contemporary practice from the perspective of domestic constituencies. It examines the role of local ownership from three angles. Pillar 1 reviews rationales and methodologies of external intervention in justice responses. Pillar 2 examines the societal impact of international criminal proceedings, based on analysis of the first practice of the International Criminal Court (ICC). Pillar 3 analyses whether and under what circumstances ICC justice may contribute to capacity-building and legal harmonisation in post-conflict situations.
