2015年12月,卢旺达问题国际刑事法庭在布塔雷作出最终判决,结束了长达21年的卢旺达问题国际刑事法庭。尽管法庭在确认国际刑事司法是一个关键的过渡时期司法机制和国际和平与安全的工具方面发挥了重要作用,但对法院历史的回顾性分析却很少。本文利用布尔迪厄的场域分析来解决这一缺失,并做出了两点贡献。首先,它表明,在卢旺达问题国际刑事法庭的历史上,法庭的正义概念从一种软弱的恢复性司法形式转变为一种更为传统的报复性司法形式。其次,它揭示了这种转变是“解决”法律的结果,更重要的是,联合国安理会的干预。这种审判实践的合法化和政治化见证了该领域从优先考虑道德权威到法律和授权权威的转变。
In December 2015, the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda delivered its final verdict in Butare, bringing the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda to a close after 21-years. Despite the important role that the tribunal played in confirming international criminal justice as a key transitional justice mechanism, and tool of international peace and security, there has been little retrospective analysis of the court's history. This article draws on a Bourdieusian field analysis to address the absence and makes two contributions. First, it demonstrates that over the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda's history the tribunal's conception of justice shifted from a weak form of restorative justice to a more traditional form of retributive justice. Second, it reveals that this shift was the result of a 'settling' on the law and, more importantly, UN Security Council interventions. This legalisation and politicisation of trial practice saw a shift in the field from prioritising moral authority to legal and delegated authority.
