国际刑事法院对肯尼亚的干预源于一段复杂而有争议的政治历史，不同的行为者倡导国内解决方案，其他行为者则主张在海牙进行国际法律程序。在充满活力的肯尼亚政治环境中，早先的立场被否认，其他立场也发生了变化。国际刑事法院的干预产生了一些政治影响，包括将国际刑事法院的进程与选举政治混为一谈。本文以肯尼亚局势作为通过法律话语调停的政治争论的场所为例进行研究。它从两个层面考虑这些动态：在地缘政治层面(考虑到国际刑事法院、非洲联盟和联合国安全理事会之间的关系)以及在国内层面(国家和民间社会)。通过追踪这些争辩的话语，本文突出了国际刑事法院干预的一些主题、战略和做法。
The International Criminal Court’s intervention in Kenya emerged from a complex and contested political history, with different actors advocating for domestic solutions and others arguing for an international legal process in The Hague. Earlier positions have been disavowed and others have changed in the dynamic Kenyan political environment. The icc intervention has produced a number of political effects, including the imbrication of the icc process with electoral politics. This article takes up the case study of the Kenyan situation as a site of political contestation mediated through legal discourse. It considers these dynamics on two registers: at the geopolitical level (considering the relationships between the icc, the African Union, and the United Nations Security Council) as well as at the domestic level (both state and civil society). By tracing the discourses through which these contestations transpire, this article highlights some of the themes, strategies, and practices through which the icc’s intervention has been received.
