The independence of the International Criminal Court : between a rock and a hard place /
Muleefu, Alphonse,1979-author.
It is often assumed that the independence of a criminal court is synonymous with the impartiality of judges. However, discussions around the independence of the International Criminal Court are in most cases about the Court as an institution and on the work of the Office of the Prosecutor. 'The Independence of the International Criminal Court : Between a Rock and a Hard Place' focuses on understanding the different competing narratives defending and critiquing the Court's 'institutional' independence and legitimacy, especially in its relationship with Africa. Critical Discourse Analysis techniques are used to capture the way language is used to express collective power capable of influencing the policies of the Court.
Includes bibliographical references (pages 115-131) and index.
General introduction and some points of departure -- Competing narratives about the ICC -- The ICC Prosecutor's decision-making process -- Between independence and pragmatism.
