Abstract

This article investigates the stark variation in elite appraisals of the performance of the International Criminal Court (ICC). Based on an online survey of diplomats posted to the UN headquarters, this article determines which country situations under ICC scrutiny respondents regard as successes or failures and, in turn, what parameters underpin their views. It also asks about negative cases; that is, country situations that never made it to The Hague due to political considerations. This article makes a two-fold contribution to the study of international law and politics. First, it shows that diplomats conceptualize international justice in terms of ongoing prosecutions and convictions obtained. Thus, they downplay indirect effects such as positive complementarity. Interestingly, scholars and diplomats agree on the court’s fiascos, yet dissent on successes. Finally, diplomats have proved tired of political considerations obstructing international justice. Survey data reveals that they want the court to investigate situations involving major powers.
在旁观者的眼中
本文调查了精英们对国际刑事法院(ICC)绩效评价的明显差异。基于对派驻联合国总部的外交官的在线调查,本文确定了在国际刑事法院审查下,受访者认为哪些国家的情况是成功的,哪些是失败的,以及哪些参数支撑了他们的观点。它还询问了否定的情况;也就是说,由于政治考虑而未能提交海牙法庭审理的国家情况。这篇文章对国际法和国际法的研究作出了双重贡献。首先,它表明外交官根据正在进行的起诉和获得的定罪来概念化国际正义。因此,他们低估了间接影响,如积极的互补性。有趣的是,学者和外交官对法庭的惨败持一致意见,但对成功持不同意见。最后,外交官们已经厌倦了阻碍国际正义的政治考虑。调查数据显示,他们希望法院调查涉及大国的情况。
