国际刑事司法已成为乌干达和苏丹政治斗争中的武器。在此背景下，本文探讨了国际刑事法院司法干预的政治意义。它辩称，国际刑事法院的倡导者将其描述为一个不受政治影响的法律堡垒，通过区分它声称代表的国际社会的朋友和敌人，它本质上是政治性的。使用原始的经验数据，文章展示了在乌干达和苏丹，交战各方如何利用国际刑事法院的干预，将反对者贴上人类的敌人的标签，并将自己标榜为国际刑事法院的朋友，从而成为国际社会的朋友。国际刑事法院检察官有时鼓励这位朋友�敌人一分为二。这些意见并不会导致谴责该法院是一个政治机构��。相反，它们强调，只有承认和理解法院的政治层面，才能对法院的活动作出合理的规范性评价。
表明正义有其实践和意识形态的局限性，并不是在贬低它。�
整个目标是解释正义的道德在一个道德多元的世界中所面临的困难，并帮助它认识到它在其中的真正位置�
不是在政界之上，而是在政界的中间。

International criminal justice has become a weapon in political struggles in Uganda and Sudan. In this light, this article discusses the political meaning of the International Criminal Court's judicial interventions. It argues that the ICC, presented by its advocates as a legal bastion immune from politics, is inherently political by making a distinction between the friends and enemies of the international community which it purports to represent. Using original empirical data, the article demonstrates how in both Uganda and Sudan warring parties have used the ICC's intervention to brand opponents as hostis humani generis, or enemies of mankind, and to present themselves as friends of the ICC, and thus friends of the international community. The ICC Prosecutor has at times encouraged this friend�enemy dichotomy. These observations do not result in a denunciation of the Court as a �political institution�. On the contrary: they underline that a sound normative evaluation of the Court's activities can be made only when its political dimensions are acknowledged and understood.
To show that justice has its practical and ideological limits is not to slight it. �
The entire aim is rather to account for the difficulties which the morality of justice faces in a morally pluralistic world and to help it recognize its real place in it �
not above the political world but in its very midst.
