Processes of (De-)Legitimation through Law: Understanding Communities of International Legal Practice and the Proposal to Criminalize Ecocide
Within the International Relations literature on legitimation and delegitimation in global governance, specifically legal legitimation narratives, alongside the legal practitioners who often propose them, have received relatively little attention. To better understand the legal dimension of (de-)legitimation, this project focuses on the role of international lawyers as protagonists of processes of (de-)legitimation, specifically with regard to international criminal courts. How and with what consequences have international lawyers been engaged in the (de-)legitimation of these courts? And through which processes, and with what implications, has the protection of the environment and climate change been constructed as a legitimate concern within international criminal justice in recent years, culminating in proposals to include ecocide as an international crime within the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court?
