本文探讨了国际刑事法院（ICC）在Ongwencase（2021）中对奴役/奴役定义的解释及其对本案事实的适用。这一审查是必要的，因为翁格温代表了国际刑事法院负责决定是否犯下奴役罪的第一个案件。这篇文章说明，国际刑事法院一直是外向型的，发现其他法院的判决在很大程度上体现在国际刑事法院解释奴隶制时的推理。本文的详细研究进一步揭示，国际刑事法院直接或间接地更具体地借鉴了前南斯拉夫问题国际刑事法庭（前南问题国际法庭）在库纳拉案件中的判决。文章表明，国际刑事法院在这样做时，调和了法律的界限，在其裁决中纳入了一般国际法、国际人权法和国际人道主义法文书的要素，以告知其对奴役/奴役的理解。文章强调，国际商会为全球规范整合做出了贡献。
This article examines the interpretation of the definition of slavery/ enslavement by the International Criminal Court (ICC) in theOngwencase (2021) and its application to the facts of the case at hand. This examination is warranted becauseOngwenrepresents the first case in which the ICC was tasked with deciding whether the crime of enslavement had been committed. This article illustrates that the ICC has been outward-looking, finding that judgments of other courts largely featured in the reasoning of the ICC when interpreting slavery. The detailed study in this article further reveals that, either directly or indirectly, the ICC more specifically drew on the judgment of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) in theKunaraccase. The article shows that, in doing so, the ICC reconciled legal borders by incorporating in its decision elements of general international law, international human rights law, and international humanitarian law instruments to inform its understanding of slavery/enslavement. The article highlights that the ICC contributed to norm consolidation globally.
