Critical Approaches to International Criminal Law

Description

The International Criminal Court (ICC) and other tribunals have gained widespread attention and sparked scholarly interest in international criminal justice. However, there is now a growing sense of disillusionment towards international criminal law, with scholars, activists, and practitioners drawing attention to its biases, blind spots, and its role in perpetuating unequal global power relations.

The CAICL Research Cluster aims to address these issues by providing a platform for sustained reflection and critique of international criminal law. As part of the wider CAICL network, the Cluster brings together scholars and practitioners interested in exploring these themes.

The members of the Cluster have published extensively on various aspects of the relationship between ICL and the wider world, including ICL and ideology, politics, hegemony, gender, imperialism, and political economy. The Cluster also hosts regular film screenings, work-in-progress seminars, guest lectures, and a video series where authors provide insights into their important articles. These events involve members of the Liverpool Law School and others outside both the School and the University, particularly those in the wider CAICL network.

The Cluster's contributions to teaching and research are significant. LL.B. and LL.M. modules are directly associated with the Cluster, and its members play a crucial role in delivering teaching in the Law School. Additionally, members of the Cluster have experience supervising research at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels, and several postgraduate researchers are part of the Cluster. Interested individuals are welcome to approach members of the Cluster for supervision of research projects addressing various possible critical engagements with ICL.
