Violence in International Criminal Law and Beyond

Kotova, Anastasiya LU (2023) In International Criminal Justice Series 31. p.39-62
Abstract
This chapter examines the increasing potential of international criminal law to advance hegemonic claims over the meaning of concepts relevant beyond its own field. By building on the Gramscian conceptualisation of hegemony and the role of law therein, I suggest that international criminal law advances a certain understanding of violence, that obscures and normalises types of violence that are beyond its gaze. The power of international criminal law to advance strong claims is, in turn, based on its asserted relevance for the causes of global justice, lasting peace and punishing the most serious crimes.
