Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı Mirjan’nın ‘Amaçlar ve Başarılar Arasında
Uluslararası Ceza Mahkemesi’ adlı çalışmasını tartışmaya açmaktır.
Damaška ilgili makalede bir yandan Uluslararası Ceza Mahkemesi’nin
normatif yapısını ele alırken, diğer yandan da mahkemenin amaçları
ve başarıları arasındaki artan ayrışmayı incelemektedir. Mirjan
Damaška mahkemenin birçok başarısı arasında, mağdurların ve
tanıkların korunması noktasındaki sorunların aşıldığına önemle
vurgu yapmıştır. Ne var ki, Uluslararası Ceza Mahkemesi varoluş
amacı olan yaptırım uygulama noktasında kapasite eksikliği çekmektedir ve de bağımsız bir kuruluş olma karakterinden yoksundur.Buradan hareketle, makalede Mirjan Damaška’nın makalesine
eleştirel açıdan yaklaşmakta; mevcut sorunların Uluslararası Ceza
Mahkemenin meşruiyetini sorgulamaya açtığını ve Mahkemeye
yöneltilen eleştirilerin mahkemenin karşıtlarını güçlendirdiği yönündeki argümanlar tartışılacaktır.

A Critique to Mirjan Damaška’ ‘International Criminal Court between Aspiration and Achievement’ Article: The Paradoxes of the International Criminal Court

Abstract

This research aims to examine Mirjan Damaka's article "The International Criminal Court between Aspiration and Achievement."
Mirjan Damaka examined the International Criminal Court's normative structure and the growing gap between its aspiration and
achievements in his paper. The International Criminal Court, among
its many accomplishments, overcomes challenges by protecting and
helping victims and witnesses. Despite its founding aims, however,
the International Criminal Court lacks enforcement ability and independent structural characteristics. As a result, this study will argue
Mirjan Damaka's missing points by examining how these challenges
call into question the Court's credibility and empower the Court's
adversaries.
