The Independence of Justice in the Cauldron of International Relations
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract This article analysesa series of judicial crises involving the investigation, arrest and prosecution of prominent foreign nationals. Such crises have in common that they imperil the independence of justice in novel, transnational ways. They are the product of cultural misunderstandings, including the incredulity of foreign authoritarian States that the judiciary of the forum State is indeed independent. They raise dilemmas for States in seeking to both respect the independence of their own courts and minimise the consequences to the national interest. The article explores some of the ways in which this tension has been mediated in practice, and the challenges raised. It concludes with some thoughts on the changing nature of the independence of the judiciary in an era of foreign governmental assertiveness.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
