"Bringing international criminal law home": the normative contribution of the international criminal court treaty regime
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This thesis explores the contribution of the newly established International Criminal Court (ICC) treaty regime in the pursuit of universal international criminal accountability. It argues that in order to make international criminal law effective, domestic Courts or other judicial bodies must be able to secure the presence of the accused to stand trial. However, this thesis demonstrates that achieving the voluntary compliance of States with requests for the surrender of an indicted individual has often been difficult. In response to this problem, this thesis proposes that a voluntarist system, such as the ICC treaty regime, has the potential to help. This is because the international treaty regime reflects a shared commitment by States to key norms of international criminal law, and has a high degree of legitimacy. This thesis argues that the ICC treaty regime offers the best chance for achieving widespread compliance with the "surrender norm," and for "bringing international criminal law home."

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.
