This article displays the various ways that African philosophies have made a contribution to international criminal law. It shows that African philosophies have, to a certain extent, influenced the manner in which post-conflict African states as well as the African Union (au) address accountability for grave breaches of international law. This influence is evidenced in the setting up of traditional African approaches to accountability for international crimes in post-conflict African states as well as in some of the au initiatives which address accountability for grave breaches. The article begins by contextualizing the topic within traditional African cultures through a historical analysis of the practices, concepts and institutions that governed criminal accountability as well as an analysis of the African philosophies upon which these practices, concepts and institutions were anchored. It continues with the concern of ‘how’ and ‘to what extent’ African philosophies have influenced international criminal law. Moreover, it considers some of the controversial areas of international criminal law in which African philosophies are overlooked, despite their potential to make a valuable contribution. This section is supported by the belief that a combined approach to international criminal law, of both traditional African and Western concepts, offers a better solution to the current impasse experienced in certain areas.
本文展示了非洲哲学对国际刑法做出贡献的各种方式。文章表明,非洲哲学在一定程度上影响了冲突后非洲国家以及非洲联盟(au)处理严重违反国际法行为的问责方式。这种影响体现在冲突后非洲国家制定了追究国际罪行责任的传统非洲方法,以及非洲联盟处理严重违反行为责任追究的一些举措中。文章首先通过对刑事问责的实践、概念和制度的历史分析,以及对这些实践、概念和制度所依据的非洲哲学的分析,将本专题置于非洲传统文化的背景之下。报告继续关注非洲哲学 "如何 "以及 "在多大程度上 "影响了国际刑法。此外,它还考虑了国际刑法中一些有争议的领域,在这些领域中,非洲哲 学尽管有可能做出宝贵的贡献,但却被忽视了。支持本节的信念是,对国际刑法采取非洲传统概念和西方概念相结合的方法,为目前某些领域的僵局提供了更好的解决办法。

Pain is the very essence of torture. This article explores the element of “pain or suffering” in the crime against humanity of torture and contributes to the existing literature by identifying the characteristics and requirements of such element within international criminal law. In particular, it examines, discusses and compares the case law of the International Criminal Tribunals in order to determine the specific characteristics that pain must possess for the mistreatment to qualify as torture as well as the required level of severity of pain and the subjective and objective criteria used for the assessment of such severity. At the same time, it also explores the case law of the echr on torture and compares the approach of this Court towards this crime with the approach of the International Criminal Tribunals to determine the extent of the echr’s contribution to the definition of torture in international criminal law.
痛苦是酷刑的本质。本文探讨了酷刑这一危害人类罪中的 "疼痛或痛苦 "要素,并通过确定国际刑法中这一要素的特征和要求,为现有文献做出了贡献。特别是,文章对国际刑事法庭的判例法进行了研究、讨论和比较,以确定将虐待定性为酷刑所必须具备的疼痛的具体特征,以及所需的疼痛严重程度和用于评估这种严重程度的主观和客观标准。同时,本报告还探讨了欧洲人权法院关于酷刑的判例法,并比较了该法院对这一罪行的处理方法和国际刑事法庭的处理方法,以确定欧洲人权法院对国际刑法中酷刑定义的贡献程度。

By providing victims with more space in the Ongwen case, the International Criminal Court (icc) has significantly contributed to the healing of the trauma and community reconciliation in northern Uganda. That said, this court has also raised issues that could affect local efforts to achieve peace, namely the positioning of victims of child soldiers vis-à-vis criminal child soldiers. Drawing on qualitative data collected through focus group discussions with some community members from locations under investigation by the icc, this sociolegal study examines the victims’ narratives about child soldiers and the different ideas of human rights that emerge. Then, it explores how these ideas may shape future transitional justice mechanisms designed in the global sphere. Finally, it discusses the extent to which they may impact the relevance of current justice initiatives. Overall, this paper analyzes the substantive effect of victim participation in the Ongwen case on local peacebuilding initiatives in northern Uganda.
通过在翁古文案中为受害者提供更多空间,国际刑事法院(icc)极大地促进了乌干达北部创伤的愈合和社区和解。尽管如此,该法院也提出了可能影响当地实现和平努力的问题,即儿童兵受害者与犯罪儿童兵的定位问题。本社会法律研究利用通过焦点小组讨论收集到的定性数据,与来自接受国际刑事法院调查地区的一些社区成员一起,研究了受害者对儿童兵的叙述以及由此产生的不同人权观念。然后,研究探讨了这些观念如何影响未来在全球范围内设计的过渡时期司法机制。最后,本文讨论了这些观念可能对当前司法倡议的相关性产生的影响。总之,本文分析了翁古文案中受害者的参与对乌干达北部当地建设和平倡议的实质性影响。

Ecocide as a New Core Crime in the Rome Statute? An Ultima Ratio Lens on Legal Policy in International Criminal Law 生态灭绝作为《罗马规约》的一项新核心罪行?国际刑法中法律政策的 "终极比率 "视角

The protection of the environment is currently of the uppermost importance and all legal fields have to contribute to this goal. This includes criminal law, both on a national and an international level. The debate in international criminal law focusses on a proposal to introduce a new core crime of “ecocide” to the Rome Statute. Much has been contributed to this debate, and often the ultima ratio approach has been mentioned in this context. However, the contents of this principle remain vague. In my article, I assess the ultima ratio principle for international criminal law and apply it to the discussion about the introduction of a new core crime of ecocide to the Rome Statute. My assessment reveals that under the current circumstances, this cannot be considered a good fit. Rather, alternatives exist that are to be expected to serve the urgent interest of protecting the natural environment better.

保护环境是当前的头等大事,所有法律领域都必须为这一目标做出贡献。这包括国家和国际层面的刑法。国际刑法的辩论集中在一项关于在《罗马规约》中引入 "生态灭绝 "这一新的核心罪行的提案上。各方对这一辩论贡献良多,并经常在此背景下提及最终比率方法。然而,这一原则的内容仍然模糊不清。在我的文章中,我评估了国际刑法的终极比率原则,并将其应用于有关在《罗马规约》中引入新的核心罪行 "生态灭绝 "的讨论。我的评估显示,在当前情况下,这不能被认为是一个很好的选择。相反,存在的替代方案有望更好地满足保护自然环境的迫切利益。

Culture and the Illusion of Self-Evidence: Spiritual Beliefs in the Ongwen Trial 文化与自证的假象:翁古文审判中的精神信仰

By definition, criminal trials are set to determine the guilt or innocence of the accused. In this process, judges are tasked with assessing not only evidence that presents itself in quantifiable forms, but also as personal experiences. In the case of Dominic Ongwen, a former child soldier and commander of the Lord’s Resistance Army (lra), the issue of spiritualism played a significant role, particularly in relation to the affirmative defences of mental incapacity and duress. Assessing such culturally charged evidence, inherently interconnected to local beliefs, through the lens of an international criminal law trial raises a number of challenges. In the construction of the legal truth, such immaterial evidence undergoes a process through which only certain elements, which are deemed relevant in light of specific arguments, are ultimately selected, filtered through the legal framework, contested by the parties and ultimately decided upon by the judges. Spiritual beliefs therefore become patterns, and patterns become certainties. Based on an in-depth analysis of 408 trial transcripts, along with main submissions and decisions, this article sheds light into how framing spiritualism according to the criteria laid out in the Rome Statute has played out in the trial of Dominic Ongwen. It maps the way in which cultural concepts related to spirituality have been introduced into the trial, by which parties and for what purpose. It also looks at how the system of spiritual powers guiding the lra and its fighters was assessed by the judges and potentially why.

顾名思义,刑事审判的目的是确定被告是否有罪。在这一过程中,法官的任务不仅是评估以量化形式呈现的证据,还要评估个人经历。在前儿童兵、上帝抵抗军(lra)指挥官多米尼克-翁古文(Dominic Ongwen)一案中,灵修问题发挥了重要作用,尤其是在涉及精神无行为能力和胁迫等肯定性抗辩时。通过国际刑法审判的视角来评估这些与当地信仰有着内在联系的文化证据会带来一系列挑战。在构建法律真相的过程中,这些非物质证据要经历一个过程,在这个过程中,只有根据具体论点被认为相关的某些要素才能最终被选中,并通过法律框架进行过滤,受到各方的质疑,并最终由法官做出裁决。因此,精神信仰变成了模式,模式变成了确定性。本文基于对 408 份审判记录以及主要呈件和裁决的深入分析,揭示了在多米尼克-翁古文的审判中,如何根据《罗马规约》规定的标准来构建精神信仰。文章描绘了与灵性有关的文化概念是如何被引入审判的,由哪些方面引入以及引入的目的是什么。本报告还探讨了法官如何评估指导伊拉及其战斗人员的精神力量体系,以及潜在的原因。

Utilising a framework inspired by Edward Bernays, this article critiques public relations in international criminal justice. The article demonstrates public relations is a hollow enterprise comprised of one-way publicity and legitimation. Outreach and public information campaigns are endeavours reliant on standard messaging tactics that treat constituencies as uncritical and homogenous consumers. Such tactics reflect a deep and entrenched turn to marketing and image-management. Whilst such a turn may be inevitable, tribunals such as International Criminal Court need to establish meaningful relations with the public, developed through listening and a commitment to mutual co-learning that, in turn, can drive organisational improvements. In its absence, public relations is a mere exercise in presentation and will continue to lack significance in the contemporary information landscape
受爱德华-伯纳斯(Edward Bernays)的启发,本文对国际刑事司法中的公共关系进行了批判。文章指出,公共关系是一项由单向宣传和合法化组成的空洞的事业。外联和公共宣传活动都依赖于标准的信息传递策略,将支持者视为不加批判的同质消费者。这种策略反映了对市场营销和形象管理的根深蒂固的转向。虽然这种转变可能是不可避免的,但像国际刑事法院这样的法庭需要与公众建立有意义的关系,通过倾听和相互学习的承诺来发展这种关系,进而推动组织的改进。如果不这样做,公共关系就只是一种表现形式,在当代信息环境中将继续缺乏意义。

Constructing a Sensory Alternative to the Ongwen Judgment 建构“翁文审判”的感官替代
IF 0.3 Q2 LAW Pub Date : 2023-11-25 DOI: 10.1163/15718123-bja10167
Raghavi Viswanath, Fangyi Li
Much ink has been spilt criticising the icc’s Ongwen trial judgment for its failure to grasp the cultural context in which the accused Ongwen and the Acholi community were embedded. Some scholars blame this on the poor quality of translation services, others attribute it to the ‘binarism’ of judgments. We offer another explanation for the Ongwen judgment’s deficiencies: its purely textual format. The judgment shows that the continued preference for textual judgments in international criminal law sterilises victims’ experiences, decontextualises evidence, and muffles objectivity. This ties into the historical preference for text over senses, a colonially engineered decision aimed at suppressing non-Western epistemologies. In this paper, we call for the international criminal law judgment to embrace ‘the opportunities of the wider sensory field’. Drawing on the pervasive sensory dimensions of international criminal law, we argue that a sensory reimagination of judgments would better serve international criminal law’s affective potential by empowering survivors and achieving a more reparative and reconstructive justice.
很多人批评国际刑事法院对翁文一案的判决未能把握被告翁文和阿乔利社区所处的文化背景。一些学者将其归咎于翻译服务质量差,另一些学者将其归咎于判断的“二元论”。我们对翁文判决书的缺陷提供了另一种解释:它的纯文本格式。该判决表明,国际刑法中对文本判决的持续偏好抹杀了受害者的经验,使证据脱离语境,并掩盖了客观性。这与历史上对文本的偏好有关,这是殖民地设计的决定,旨在压制非西方认识论。在这篇文章中,我们呼吁国际刑法审判应拥抱“更广阔的感官领域的机会”。根据国际刑法普遍存在的感官维度,我们认为,通过赋予幸存者权力和实现更具补偿性和重建性的司法,对判决进行感官重新想象将更好地服务于国际刑法的情感潜力。

Abstract The paper discusses how strategic narratives determine our understanding of politics and justice, and how such narratives can be deliberately constructed to achieve political ends through judicial means and by instrumentalizing international criminal law and courts. The article discusses the concept of strategic narratives from an inter-disciplinary perspective and explores the impact of strategic narratives on international criminal justice. For this purpose, it analyzes as a case study the Council of Europe Parliamentary Assembly Report on “Inhuman treatment of people and illicit trafficking in human organs in Kosovo” of 2011, which led to the establishment of the Kosovo Specialist Chambers and the Kosovo Specialist Prosecutor’s Office.
摘要本文讨论了战略叙事如何决定我们对政治和正义的理解,以及这种叙事如何通过司法手段和工具化国际刑法和法院来实现政治目的。本文从跨学科的角度探讨了战略叙事的概念,并探讨了战略叙事对国际刑事司法的影响。为此,本报告作为案例分析了2011年欧洲委员会议会大会关于“科索沃境内不人道待遇和非法贩运人体器官”的报告,该报告导致设立了科索沃专家分庭和科索沃专家检察官办公室。

Fighters, Not Victims: On Victimhood Recognition and Gender Representations in the Enslavement Charges in the Ongwen Case 斗士,而非受害者:论翁文案奴役指控中的受害者身份认同与性别表征

Abstract In the Ongwen case, according to the otp women were abducted to be wives and men to be soldiers, women were forced to work and men forced to fight. The otp brought enslavement charges for some of these crimes. Absent from the charges was the forced fighting of men. This paper discusses the crime of enslavement in the Ongwen case. By combining a doctrinal analysis and a feminist approach, I seek to show how gender representations emerge in the application of the law in detriment of men’s victimhood. I argue that the application of the law responds to gender representations in war. Men are not perceived to be victims once they become ‘soldiers’. Likewise, for women, the effect is their continuous perception as non-fighters and victims of war. This leads to reinforcing those representations, to lack of acknowledgment of victimhood for men and to reducing the experiences of women.
在翁文案中,人们认为妇女被拐卖为妻,男子被拐卖为兵,妇女被迫劳动,男子被迫战斗。otp对其中一些罪行提出了奴役指控。这些指控中没有强迫男人打架。本文论述了翁文案中的奴役罪。通过结合理论分析和女权主义方法,我试图展示性别代表是如何在法律应用中出现的,以损害男性的受害者身份。我认为法律的适用回应了战争中的性别表现。男人一旦成为“士兵”,就不会被认为是受害者。同样,对女性来说,其影响是她们一直被视为非战士和战争受害者。这导致强化这些表述,使男性不愿承认自己是受害者,并减少了女性的经历。
