This book canvasses the autonomous position of victims before the International Criminal Court. It seeks to provide an objective and balanced perspective, and neither rejects the idea of victims’ participation nor seeks to extend it beyond the contours determined by the founders of the ICC. The author contributes to the existing debate in academia and in practice by delineating the core, most complex and contentious matters ensuing from the role assigned to victims. The scrupulously selected issues unveil and blueprint the essential characteristics that delimit the standing of victims as independent actors in the ICC’s arena, distinct from the parties and other non-party participants. As an integral part of the ICC’s synergy, victims converge and interact with its other components. Therefore, the position and role of victims are contemplated in the context of the Court’s procedural mechanism and the mission pursued by the parties and the Chamber. The philosophy underpinning the ICC’s design and the standing of victims therein also requires analysis from a wider perspective. Accordingly, the volume draws an in-depth parallel with relevant developments and trends at the international and domestic level. Close attention is paid to the legal instruments and jurisprudence of international(ized) criminal justice bodies, human rights institutions and non-criminal jurisdictions to the extent useful for shedding further light on the issues at hand. Recourse is also made to various national systems, whenever relevant.

Drawing on critical theory, criminological analysis, and multi-sited ethnographic fieldwork, 'Victims and the Labour of Justice at the International Criminal Court' illuminates how the ICC's victim engagement functions to reproduce the Court as a relevant institution and to transform victims in the Global South into productive capitalist subjects.

Most discourses on victims in international criminal justice take the subject of victims for granted, as an identity and category existing exogenously to the judicial process. This book takes a different approach. Through a close reading of the institutional practices of one particular court, it demonstrates how court practices produce the subjectivity of the victim, a subjectivity that is profoundly of law and endogenous to the enterprise of international criminal justice. Furthermore, by situating these figurations within the larger aspirations of the court, the book shows how victims have come to constitute and represent the link between international criminal law and the enterprise of transitional justice. The book takes as its primary example the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC), or the Khmer Rouge Tribunal as it is also called. Focusing on the representation of victims in crimes against humanity, victim participation and photographic images, the book engages with a range of debates and scholarship in law, feminist theory and cultural legal theory. Furthermore, by paying attention to a broader range of institutional practices, Figuring Victims makes an innovative scholarly contribution to the debates on the roles and purposes of international criminal justice.

La société européenne a une particularité, que peu de ses citoyens identifient. Elle est, quasi quotidiennement, l'occasion pour la Cour EDH de construire une communauté reposant sur l'état de droit. Jamais dans l'histoire, nulle part ailleurs sur notre globe, les relations humaines n'ont fait l'objet d'un tel examen continu, et minutieux du respect des droits fondamentaux. Près d'un milliard d'Européens (rappelons que le Conseil de l'Europe représente plus de 800 millions d'êtres humains) ont la totalité des étapes de leur vie, de la naissance à la mort, du domicile au lieu de travail, des activités économiques à l'exercice des libertés de pensée, de croyance ou d'appropriation de leur genre sous la protection de leurs juges nationaux épaulés par les juges de la Cour EDH, les fameux "juges de Strasbourg". Dans un précédent ouvrage publié chez le même éditeur (le droit processuel européen), les auteurs ont décrit les différentes règles procédurales à respecter pour obtenir un arrêt de la Cour EDH. Dans le présent livre, les auteurs se sont attachés à donner, à leurs lecteurs, les clés de compréhension et d'utilisation des droits couverts par la Cour EDH, c'est-à-dire les droits définis par la Convention EDH ainsi que ceux affirmés ensuite dans les nombreux protocoles additionnels adoptés par les États Parties à la Convention EDH. L'ouvrage est construit autour des droits définis par la Convention, appuyés et éclairés par de nombreux schémas et tableaux explicatifs. Dans cette deuxième édition, une annexe méthodologique a été ajoutée : elle permettra aux lecteurs d'utiliser au mieux la base jurisprudentielle de la Cour EDH (Hudoc), pour un usage pertinent et efficace de la jurisprudence de cette Cour européenne en explicitant les outils de recherche, comment trouver l'interprétation légitime de ses arrêts et décisions et d'en comprendre la hiérarchie.
