Using a mixed-methods approach that combines a comprehensive analysis of global patterns of violence with case studies, my thesis evaluates the extent to which the International Criminal Court’s (ICC) situation engagement and case selection align with patterns of global violence. My thesis examines the broader geopolitical and institutional factors that advance or undermine the ICC’s role as a mechanism of international accountability, as well as the extent to which the institution exemplifies the ideals of the rule of law.
