This exploratory study documents International Criminal Court (icc) personnel’s perspectives on the effectiveness of the icc. It examines practitioner views on the icc’s goals, strengths, weaknesses, and effectiveness. Interviews with nine professionals from the Office of the Prosecutor, Defense, and Chambers reveal several themes. Professionals agreed upon the icc’s greatest strengths: its foundation and its symbolic value. They also named common weaknesses, including its reliance on state cooperation, challenges in administrative functions, and, from the perspective of largely Defense personnel, an unfair disadvantage against the Defense. While personnel often agreed upon which factors needed improvement, they diverged on precisely how to improve them. However, they alluded to several potential paths forward. Interviews ultimately suggested the Court has several areas requiring improvement, but a solid foundation and considerable potential. These interviews coincide with ongoing reviews of the Court, providing a fuller picture of its effectiveness.

这项探索性研究记录了国际刑事法院（icc）人员对icc有效性的观点。它研究了从业者对icc的目标，优势，劣势和有效性的看法。来自检察官办公室，国防部和钱伯斯办公室的九名专业人员的访谈揭示了几个主题。专业人士同意icc的最大优势：它的基础和象征价值。他们还指出了共同的弱点，包括它对国家合作的依赖，行政职能上的挑战，以及从大量国防人员的角度来看，对国防的不公平劣势。尽管人员经常就需要改进的因素达成共识，但他们在如何改进方面却存在分歧。但是，他们暗示了一些潜在的前进方向。访谈最终表明，法院有几个方面需要改进，但基础雄厚，潜力巨大。这些采访与对法院的持续审查相吻合，从而更全面地了解了法院的效力。
