Abstract
With Transforming International Criminal Justice (Findlay and Henham, 2005) we were breaking new ground. The novel central assertion was that international criminal trial decision-making should be transformed to incorporate retributive and restorative justice processes and outcomes. Since then press commentary and scholarly analysis (Lipscomb, 2006) have challenged the International Criminal Court (ICC) to go beyond its conventional judicial enterprise and advance transitional justice. What was then a radical synthesis and future-seeking recognition for ‘the ambition and scope of its intellectual gaze’ (Mallinder, 2006: 157) is now being recognised as the inevitable option for the institutions of international criminal justice (ICJ), if their legitimacy and impact are to be confirmed.
