Abstract
AbstractThe Epilogue considers the wider implications of the rise of domestic accountability in international criminal law. It argues that the vocabulary of (positive) complementarity has revolutionized how civil society, scholars, states, and tribunals think, talk, and act in regard to serious crimes. Altering the imaginary of international criminal law stakeholders, complementarity’s emphasis on the domestic sphere has evolved into an ideology extending beyond the ICC with the turn away from international to domestic trials transforming the ontology of international criminal law from a counter-hegemonic project to a consent-based statebuilding enterprise geared to consolidating the authority of governments and directed against non-state actors.
