7 - How to Save the International Justice Regime

Summary

The concluding chapter of Saving the International Justice Regime identifies how scholars, activists, stakeholders, and supporter states can help to save the international justice regime. It identifies three main ways to bolster international justice: (1) managing public opinion by engaging in targeted and effective self-marketing campaigns as a way to make their case to a broader audience; (2) improving the rule of law and the functioning of the tribunals as judicial institutions; and (3) reaffirming the fundamental norm(s) of criminal accountability and human rights. The chapter concludes with a discussion of a future research agenda based on the definition, typology, and theoretical framework set out earlier in the book.
