The world community expects international criminal trials to accomplish more than their domestic law counterparts. International criminal trials are meant to further both judicial and political trial goals despite the potential conflict between these trial purposes and the accused’s fair trial rights. First, this article discusses what makes a trial legal or political and where along this spectrum international criminal trials should fall. Next, this article assesses each of the purposes underlying international criminal trials, contextualises them as legal or political, and analyses whether each should be relied on as a justification for trying a suspect in an international or internationalised criminal court or tribunal. Third, the article scrutinises the way in which the different trial goals interact and discusses the impact each political goal has on the legal purpose of trial. The article concludes that incorporating political goals into international criminal trials is necessary to fulfill the mandates of each international criminal law institution. Trial courts must balance the legal and political goals to ensure that the trial meets its aims but that when a political goal comes into conflict with the legal goal of trial, it is latter that must take precedence as it is the factor most concerned with ensuring that the trial is fair. Prioritising fairness is the only way to guarantee the continued legitimacy of international and internationalised criminal courts and tribunals.

正义的天平:平衡国际刑事审判的目标

国际社会期望国际刑事审判比国内法律审判取得更大的成就。国际刑事审判旨在促进司法和政治审判目标,尽管这些审判目的与被告的公平审判权利之间存在潜在冲突。首先,本文讨论了什么使审判合法或政治化,以及国际刑事审判应该属于哪个范围。接下来,本文评估了国际刑事审判背后的每一个目的,将它们置于法律或政治的背景下,并分析是否应该依赖每个目的作为在国际或国际化刑事法院或法庭审判嫌疑人的理由。第三,文章仔细审查了不同审判目标的相互作用方式,并讨论了每个政治目标对审判的法律目的的影响。文章的结论是,将政治目标纳入国际刑事审判对于履行每个国际刑法机构的职责是必要的。审判法院必须平衡法律和政治目标,以确保审判达到其目标,但当政治目标与审判的法律目标发生冲突时,后者必须优先考虑,因为它是最关心确保审判的因素审判是公平的。将公平放在首位是保证国际和国际化刑事法院和法庭持续合法性的唯一途径。文章的结论是,将政治目标纳入国际刑事审判对于履行每个国际刑法机构的职责是必要的。审判法院必须平衡法律和政治目标,以确保审判达到其目标,但当政治目标与审判的法律目标发生冲突时,后者必须优先考虑,因为它是最关心确保审判的因素审判是公平的。将公平放在首位是保证国际和国际化刑事法院和法庭持续合法性的唯一途径。文章的结论是,将政治目标纳入国际刑事审判对于履行每个国际刑法机构的职责是必要的。审判法院必须平衡法律和政治目标,以确保审判达到其目标,但当政治目标与审判的法律目标发生冲突时,后者必须优先考虑,因为它是最关心确保审判的因素审判是公平的。将公平放在首位是保证国际和国际化刑事法院和法庭持续合法性的唯一途径。审判法院必须平衡法律和政治目标,以确保审判达到其目标,但当政治目标与审判的法律目标发生冲突时,后者必须优先考虑,因为它是最关心确保审判的因素审判是公平的。将公平放在首位是保证国际和国际化刑事法院和法庭持续合法性的唯一途径。审判法院必须平衡法律和政治目标,以确保审判达到其目标,但当政治目标与审判的法律目标发生冲突时,后者必须优先考虑,因为它是最关心确保审判的因素审判是公平的。将公平放在首位是保证国际和国际化刑事法院和法庭持续合法性的唯一途径。
