When the dock is as empty as the cells of the International Criminal Court (ICC), what observers can say? In this new podcast, our partners from Asymmetrical Haircuts invited in person Lucy Gaynor, a close follower of the Hague court and historian, to comment this week highly-publicized Joseph Kony’s in absentia confirmation of charges hearing before the ICC. Gaynor found in it, coming from all sides, a “completely different kinds of arguments”, compared to similar hearings in presence of the accused. And a more general questioning for what’s happening in court at the ICC: “Who is the general audience for these things, what expectations do we have when we say the word justice?”, Gaynor asked.
