The Future of the International Criminal Court: Connections Between Domestic Democracy and the International Rule of Law
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- The International Criminal Court (ICC) finds itself at a crossroads. Four of its member states have initiated withdrawal proceedings since 2015, and many of its preliminary and formal investigations seem to be at an impasse. This project asks an old question, “will more states withdraw from the ICC?” but seeks a new type of answer. Collected here is an exhaustive record of interactions between the ICC and its African and Asia-Pacific member states from 2015 to 2020, possibly the first of its kind. Also presented is a new system for evaluating and scoring ICC-member state interactions, called the ICC Cooperation Score (ICS), as well as a series of statistical tests identifying which characteristics of states are associated with greater support for, and cooperation with, the ICC. Though state interactions with the ICC are the products of a complex set of factors, identifying patterns in member state behavior is possible, and these patterns have important implications for the ICC’s future.
