Abstract

Abstract The international community has experimented with a variety of tools for promoting the rule of law in weak states, yet with few successes. An innovative tool is hybrid commissions not supplanting the justice system of the target state but fighting impunity from within it. In this contribution I therefore seek to identify the factors that render this novel mechanism of rule of law promotion effective, arguing that a set of factors – support from the Attorney-General, civil society and powerful donors; as well as the commission’s institutional design, its strategy, and the personality of the commissioner – will determine if the changes initiated by the hybrid lead to a deeper transformation of the host state, or if there will be a rule of law rollback as soon as the commission leaves the country.
如何“使法律有价值”:危地马拉反有罪不罚国际委员会(CICIG)关于混合治理有效性的经验教训
国际社会已经尝试了各种各样的工具来促进弱国的法治,但收效甚微。一个创新的工具是混合委员会,它不是取代目标国家的司法体系,而是从内部打击有罪不罚现象。因此,在这篇文章中,我试图找出使这种促进法治的新机制有效的因素,认为有一系列因素- -总检察长、民间社会和强大捐助者的支持;以及委员会的制度设计、战略和专员的个性,将决定由混合模式引发的变化是否会导致东道国更深层次的转型,或者一旦委员会离开该国,是否会出现法治倒退。
