• W2891444922 abstract "In the past thirty years, International Criminal Law (ICL) has established itselfas an influential framework through which claims for justice in relation to thepast can be mediated. This thesis offers a critique of the particular way inwhich ICL links history, law and justice. To this end, it contrasts a transitionaljustice perspective on trials in response to state crime, with one that looks atsuch trials as sites of competing politics of time. While the former focuses onthe stabilisation of political authority, the later privileges its destabilisation.This perspective is then brought to bear on two sets of trials. These are, onthe one hand, the trials of German industrialists conducted by the Allies inthe wake of World War II (1939-1945) and, on the other hand,the ongoingtrials in Argentina which seek to address the economic dimensions of the lastArgentinian dictatorship (1976-1983).Through the reading of these trials, ICL is shown to be a liberal concept ofhistorical justice, not (merely) because it focuses on individual responsibilityor because it seeks to foster the liberal rule of law, but, more importantly,because it understands the economic dimensions of state crime according tothe ontological separation of the state and the economic which is inheritedfrom political liberalism. As a consequence, ICL tends to authorise a liberaldemocratic order, while sidelining other political imaginaries and related claimsto justice, especially those that would involve a reshaping of the politicaleconomy on which liberalism rests.This argument is developed in two parts. The first part, consisting of threechapters, contrasts what has become the predominant perspective from whichto study trials in response to state crime, namely transitional justice, with atheoretical framework inspired by the work of Walter Benjamin – in particular,his philosophy of history and his critique of violence. The central differencebetween these approaches, this thesis will argue, lies with the way in whicheach conceives of the promise of justice that comes with the memory of pastviolence. Transitional justice literature links the duty to remember pastviolence to the promise of fostering a particular juridico-political order, namelythe liberal rule of law. Walter Benjamin, by contrast, is interested in the past’sability to expose the foundational violence of the present juridico-politicalorder. Against this backdrop, the promise of trials in response to state crimecan be located only at the place, where they unearth ‘rags of history’ that, if read, expose not only the the violence of the past, but also that of the present,thereby opening it anew for contestation.Chapters Four, Five and Six put this theoretical framework to work in closereadings of several criminal trials which deal with the economic dimensionsof state crime conducted in post-World War II Germany and contemporaryArgentina. These readings bring into relief the way in which the ontologicalunderpinnings of political liberalism – such as the separation of the economicfrom the political, and the categorisation of violence according to sanctionedand non-sanctioned manifestations – structures the way that ICL makes senseof the economic dimensions of state crime." @default.
