Abstract
International criminal law is experiencing what has been termed as a ‘critical turn’. With several states declaring their intentions to withdraw from the International Criminal Court’s constituting treaty in 2016, it seems that critique has never been more timely or necessary. The body of work roughly grouped under an approach referred to as critical approaches to international criminal law has contributed to the debate by foregrounding a structural critique instead of an effectiveness critique (which asks how international criminal law can be improved). We propose that the structural critique may be further developed through an engagement with liberal peacekeeping critique. This body of work, which is critical of liberal peacebuilding practices, has many overlapping points of departure with ongoing work in critical approaches to international criminal law, including its focus on questions of political economy, its insistence on a historical sensitivity and its scepticism of a politics of interventionism. The two fields are also criticized in similar terms, including their tendency towards over-generalization and distance from issues relevant to practice. We argue that these disciplines can learn from one another’s strengths and weaknesses, thereby enriching discourses and practices of critique.
