Talk:Public International Law/International Criminal Law/International Criminal Courts and Tribunals

Review: 13 June 2023
Dear Raghavi,

Thanks for the informative chapter! I only added some minor further comments to the already said. Overall, I think it would be great to introduce and contextualise the ICC a bit better - initially often hailed as a huge achievement or even the "peak" of multilateralism, also celebrated for the broad participation of NGOs/"civil society" in its negotiations, and after some years the object of quite fundamental criticism. In a way the story of the ICC follows a little bit the mainstream narrative about the trajectory of IL in general - from the "golden 90es" to the crisis of multilateralism today

Best,

Review: May 26, 2023
Your chapter offers a thorough overview of the International Criminal Court (ICC) and its various components, including jurisdiction, procedures, and subsidiary bodies.

As it stands, the chapter exceeds the recommended word count. To adhere to the desired length and maintain consistency with the other chapters, I strongly suggest halving the current word count. In achieving this, it is crucial to significantly reduce the section on the ICC, focusing on providing a concise overview rather than delving into excessive details. This adjustment is particularly important considering the absence of coverage on specific tribunals such as the ICTY, and the need to maintain an appropriate word count.

I noticed that the chapter's structure does not align with the style guide. To enhance the organization and readability of the content, I recommend revisiting the chapter's outline and ensuring that it adheres to the prescribed style guide.

You will also find some comments in your chapter in which I elaborate on something more specific. To view these comments, open your chapter page and click "Edit" in the top-right menu bar.

Some minor things:
 * Note that the following parts are still missing: required knowledge, summary, further readings
 * There are some issues with the formatting of the footnotes, which are not always consistent with the OSCOLA citation style. To ensure the chapter is fully compliant with OSCOLA, you should review the formatting of the footnotes and make the necessary corrections.
 * You could add some links to other chapters of the textbook.
 * Note that I have made some linguistic improvements to the text

Review: Deepa
The chapter comprehensively covers the objectives of international criminal law and the limitations of the ICC/Tribunals.

Under the existing sub-headings, the author may also consider incorporating a paragraph on the specific crimes identified as war crimes and crimes against humanity in the decisions of the ICC/tribunals (rape, forced marriage, etc.). Also, in addition to the proposal for the African criminal court, a mention of the proposal for incorporating ecocide as the fifth international crime under the Rome Statute would be worthwhile.

Thank you. Regards. --Deepa Kansra (discuss • contribs) 06:10, 30 April 2022 (UTC)

Review: Walter Arevalo Ramirez

 * The chapter lacks an introduction, one that should clarify the scope of the text; will the author make a list of the current ICandT's and describe every single one? (this seems to be the case, but only the Int criminal law one are described) or will the text propose a classification of ICandT's? -a more recognized approach-?
 * The subtopics used for the ICC are very good, will they be used for each tribunal?
 * Certain categories of ICandT's are fundamental and need to be explained, even if this is not the full scope of the document and the author preference is to describe in depth a list of tribunals, these include:
 * Permanent vs adhoc or temporal tribunals
 * Regional vs universal mandate ICandT's
 * Judicial (i.e ICJ) vs. Cuasijudicial (i.e WTO) vs Arbitral CPA ICandT's
 * Clasification according to standing and subjectivities; ie. State v. State tribunals, Individual vs. State tribunals, Investor v. State tribunals.
 * This chapter should be closely linked to the jurisdiction chapter, sadly, I saw that one is also underdeveloped. Both should communicate when explaining the essential mechanisms that explain how ICandT's work; jurisdictional (competence) clause, unilateral declaration, compromise (or agreement), forum prorrogatum.
 * Fundamental topics are still yet to be included; nature and enforceability of judgments, legal nature, seat and administration of ICandT's, backlash and resistance to ICandT's is a hot topic in current legal scholarship and it should be mentioned.
