This article explores the relationship between performance and legitimacy in international criminal trials through the lens of the International Criminal Court (ICC). I begin by analysing the deployment of theatrical tropes by different legal scholars, such as Hannah Arendt, and David Luban, arguing that such analogies serve as a policing mechanism for the author to distinguish what they perceive to be the ‘good’ or ‘bad’ theatre of the trial. I then move beyond analogy, drawing on legal sociology and performance theory to read the criminal trial as ritual-like, normative performance. Using the ICC as a case study, I will examine how performance is deployed to create, reinforce and naturalize the role of the ICC in international criminal law. Through focusing on issues of performance and community I offer a different way of looking at what may constitute legitimacy in international criminal law from that which is offered by other legal scholars.

“…Así mismo, como lo señala Garbett (2013), en relación con la participación de las víctimas en el mismo caso Lubanga, su objetivo era decir la verdad y nada más que la verdad, lo que a su juicio se debe interpretar como un elemento de la justicia restaurativa, pues su participación no tiene como finalidad definir si el acusado es culpable o inocente, sino que su versión de los hechos sea escuchada y analizada, además de tener el potencial de ayudar a llenar los vacíos que pueda tener la teoría del caso presentada por el fiscal.…”

Las víctimas son el centro de la implementación del Acuerdo de Paz, y en el escenario ju- dicial de la Jurisdicción Especial para la Paz está previsto que se garantice su participación. La forma en que esto se logra y su denominación formal es un asunto que ya ha sido experimentado en escenarios de justicia penal a nivel internacional y transicional, demostrando que la participación puede traer ciertos beneficios y riesgos tanto para el desarrollo del procedimiento como para los mismos derechos de las víctimas. Así, las enseñanzas de dichas experiencias pueden servir de guía para que en el marco de la Jurisdicción Especial para la Paz se evite repetir los riesgos y se potencialicen las ventajas de la participación de las víctimas.

“…This is not to take away the fact that, often, victims can find the very act of providing testimony of the harms and experiences of the alleged criminal conduct an empowering and cathartic process. 31 However, the fact that the Rome Statute is more concerned with providing victims a theoretical right of participation than allowing them to meaningfully influence the criminal process is evident also from the absence of consideration of victim submissions in the final judgments of the Court. The judgments do not provide any accounts of the forms of knowledge brought by the victim participants as distinct from those of the prosecution or defence.…”

Theoretical models of criminal justice are important tools for identifying the value systems that underpin the various criminal justice systems of the world. Hailed as the 'victims' court' for conferring wide-ranging participatory rights to victims at all stages of the criminal process, the International Criminal Court and its constitutive treaty, the Rome Statute, offer an interesting subject matter of analysis from this theoretical standpoint. The focus of this article will be on studying the ICC's practice and procedure in relation to victim participation, in order to identify the values of criminal justice that influence these processes.
