摘要
我们对凯瑟琳-西金克(Kathryn Sikkink)及其合作者提出的司法连带理论进行了原创性解读,并将其应用于国际刑事法院自 2004 年以来与非洲国家的交往中。在此过程中,我们挑战了对这一理论的著名和广受赞誉的批评:奥马尔-巴(Oumar Ba)的《正义的国家》(States of Justice)一书。巴在实地调查的基础上提出了四个定性案例研究,重点关注涉及乌干达、利比亚、肯尼亚和科特迪瓦的可受理性挑战、选择性合作和阻挠行为。我们仔细研究了介绍、完善和批判司法级联理论的主要出版物,发现了巴氏著作中对这一理论的误读,并阐明了其经验意义。此外,我们还对《正义的国家》进行了引文分析,证明该书几乎省略了任何类型的原始资料,错误地执行了自己的实证策略。我们对四个相关案件中遵守《国际刑事法院罗马规约》的情况进行了全新的法律分析,揭示了除肯尼亚案件外,其他案件中不遵守规约的证据都很匮乏。最后,我们讨论了法律分析作为检验国际法和法院理论的一种手段,并说明了司法连带理论与当前关于建立新国际法庭的辩论的相关性。
The International Criminal Court and the Justice Cascade
We present an original interpretation of the justice cascade theory developed by Kathryn Sikkink and her coauthors as it pertains to the icc’s engagements with African states since 2004. In doing so, we challenge a prominent and acclaimed critique of this theory: Oumar Ba’s States of Justice. Ba presents four qualitative case studies informed by fieldwork, focused on the admissibility challenges, selective cooperation, and obstructionism involving Uganda, Libya, Kenya, and Côte d’Ivoire. We closely examine the key publications in which the justice cascade theory is introduced, refined, and critiqued, identifying misinterpretations of this theory in Ba’s work and elucidating its empirical implications. Furthermore, we perform a citation analysis of States of Justice, demonstrating that the book, by virtually omitting primary sources of any type, misimplements its own empirical strategy. We introduce fresh legal analyses of compliance with the Rome Statute of the icc in the four relevant cases, revealing the dearth of evidence of noncompliance in all but the Kenyan case. Finally, we discuss legal analysis as a means of testing theories of international law and courts, and we illustrate the relevance of the justice cascade theory to current debates on the establishment of new international tribunals.
期刊介绍:
Thus there is also a need for criminological, sociological and historical research on the issues of ICL. The Review publishes in-depth analytical research that deals with these issues. The analysis may cover: • the substantive and procedural law on the international level; • important cases from national jurisdictions which have a bearing on general issues; • criminological and sociological; and, • historical research.
