前南斯拉夫问题国际刑事法庭（前南问题国际法庭）和卢旺达问题国际刑事法庭（卢旺达问题国际法庭）虽然仍处于机构生命的早期阶段，但为评价国际刑事司法对冲突后建设和平的影响提供了独特的经验基础。对正义的追求可能会被视为一种善意的，但徒劳的，仪式性的尝试，以恢复平衡的道德宇宙被邪恶压倒。此外，衡量惩罚预防犯罪行为的能力是一项难以实现的任务，特别是当一个社会被普遍的习惯性暴力所控制，道德颠倒将原本“离经叛道”的犯罪提升为对群体忠诚的最高表达时。然而，对这种大规模暴力行为的决定性原因的认识表明，对犯罪行为的污名化可能产生深远的影响，促进冲突后和解，改变更广泛的国际关系规则和合法性。
Although still in the early stages of their institutional life, die International Criminal Tribunals for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and for Rwanda (ICTR) provide a unique empirical basis for evaluating the impact of international criminaljustice on postconflict peace building. The pursuit of justice may be dismissed as a well-intentioned, but futile, ritualistic attempt to restore equilibrium to a moral universe overwhelmed by evil. Moreover, measuring the capacity of punishment to prevent criminal conduct is an elusive undertaking, especially when a society is gripped by widespread habitual violence and an inverted morality has elevated otherwise “deviant” crimes to the highest expression of group loyalty. Yet an appreciation of die determinate causes of such large-scale violence demonstrates that stigmatization of criminal conduct may have far-reaching consequences, promoting postconflict reconciliation and changing die broader rules of international relations and legitimacy.
