Abstract

Outreach activities of international criminal tribunals remain as a neglected area in the field of international criminal law. This article draws attention to this very under-researched area and highlights the importance of outreach work in providing international criminal justice. By focusing on the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (the ICTY) as a case study, the article argues that outreach activities are significant for international criminal tribunals to gain the support of the local populations under their jurisdictions. For the purpose of the article, the ICTY’s main outreach activities are overviewed by using the online data provided in the ICTY’s official website. A detailed analysis of these activities through an engagement with the existing literature shows that delays in the outreach activities, lack of other transitional justice mechanisms, and plea bargaining became the main challenges for the ICTY’s outreach work. These conclusions are significant not only for an evaluation of the tribunal’s legacy in the region of former Yugoslavia but also for deriving “lessons learned” for the other international criminal tribunals and the permanent court International Criminal Court (ICC). International tribunals and courts must learn from the ICTY’s failures and should be vigilant from their establishment till their closure to enhance the public awareness about their work and to gain the support of the local communities under their jurisdictions.

Özet

Uluslararası ceza hukukunda uluslararası ceza mahkemelerinin erişim aktiviteleri göz ardı edilmiş bir alan olarak kalmaktadır. Bu makale, üzerinde az çalışılmış olan bu alana dikkat çeker ve uluslararası adaletin sağlanmasında erişim aktivitelerinin önemini vurgular. Eski Yugoslavya Uluslararası Ceza Mahkemesi yakından incelenerek, erişim aktivitelerinin uluslararası ceza mahkemelerinin kendi yargı yetkisi altında bulunan toplumların desteğini kazanmaları için ne derece önemli olduğu saptanır. Bu makalede, Eski Yugoslavya Uluslararası Ceza Mahkemesi’nin resmi internet sitesinde arşivlenmiş bulunan erişim aktiviteleri incelenir. Detaylı bir inceleme sonucunda erişim aktivitelerindeki gecikmenin, diğer geçiş dönemi adalet mekanizmalarının eksikliğinin ve itiraf pazarlığı (suçluların suçlarını itiraf ederek aldıkları ceza indirimleri) anlaşmalarının mahkemenin erişim aktivitelerini aksatan en önemli engeller oldukları tespit edilir. Makale, hem Eski Yugoslavya Uluslararası Ceza Mahkemesinin erişim aktivitelerini inceleme fırsatı sunmakta hem de diğer mahkemelerin aynı hataları yapmaması için bu mahkemenin başarısızlıklarından çıkarılabilecek dersleri gözler önüne sermektedir. Başta Uluslararası Ceza Mahkemesi olmak üzere diğer uluslararası ceza mahkemeleri kuruldukları tarihten itibaren erişim aktivitelerine önem vermeli, ve yetkileri altındaki toplumları aldıkları kararlardan ve mahkeme süreçlerinden haberdar ederek meşruiyetlerini sağlamaya çalışmalıdırlar.
