Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Almost a quarter-century into its existence, the International Criminal Court is in uncharted territory. In the past two years, it has issued warrants for Russia’s president and the leaders of a close American ally, Israel. How did the ICC get to this point? Can the court’s experience prepare it for what happens next? And what future does it have in a world that is as chaotic, divided, and dangerous as ever? This article seeks to answer these questions by offering an overview of the court’s tumultuous history, from the controversy over its early focus on cases in Africa to its often contentious relations with the United States.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not 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.
