The Twentieth And Twenty-first Centuries Have Witnessed Some Of The Most Horrific Human Rights Violations In History. In Parallel, Practitioners Of International Criminal Law (icl) Have Engaged In Concerted Efforts To Bring The Perpetrators Of These Crimes To Justice. In The Last Thirty Years, The Proliferation Of Icl As A Means Of Addressing Mass Atrocities Has Been Accompanied By A Global Fragmentation, Contestation, And Remaking Of This Body Of Law. Legal Pluralism And Heterogeneity Have Become Key Issues In The Evolution Of Icl, Visible In The Development Of A Diverse Jurisprudence Of Ad Hoc International And Hybrid Tribunals, An Emerging Body Of Case Law At The International Criminal Court (icc), And A Growing Number Of Domestic Prosecutions, Often Followed By Reinterpretations At Regional Human Rights Courts. Moreover, The Recent Contestations Of The Icc By African Nations, Arguing Against A Perceived Neo-colonialism And The Reluctance Of Major International Players (such As The United States, Russia, And China) To Recognize The Icc's Jurisdiction Have Contributed To An Increasingly Disputed Icl Order
This work investigates the evolution, fragmentation, and contested legitimacy of international criminal law (ICL) in the context of addressing mass atrocities during the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Dr. Raluca Grosescu, a scholar specializing in transitional justice and human rights, examines the shift from ad hoc tribunals to the International Criminal Court (ICC). She analyzes how legal pluralism and domestic prosecutions have shaped the current, often disputed, international legal order.
