As communities struggle to make sense of mass atrocities, expectations have increasingly
been placed on international criminal courts to render authoritative historical accounts
of episodes of mass violence. Taking these expectations as its point of departure,
this book seeks to understand international criminal courts through the prism of their
historical function. The book critically examines how such courts confront the past
by constructing historical narratives concerning both the culpability of the accused
on trial and the broader mass atrocity contexts in which they are alleged to have
participated. The book argues that international criminal courts are host to struggles
for historical justice, discursive contests between different actors vying for judicial
acknowledgement of their interpretations of the past. By examining these struggles
within different institutional settings, the book uncovers the legitimating qualities
of international criminal judgments. In particular, it illuminates what tends to be
foregrounded and included within, as well as marginalised and excluded from, the narratives
of international criminal courts in practice. What emerges from this account is a
sense of the significance of thinking about the emancipatory limits and possibilities
of international criminal courts in terms of the historical narratives that are constructed
and contested within and beyond the courtroom
