“…In that sense, the paper does not evaluate the effectiveness of the ICTY. Moreover, the paper is not interested in the possible causal link between speech, such as revenge and dehumanizing language, and criminal action (see Lillie et al 2015). Instead, it explains how the defendants use speech during trials for the purpose of group and myth making.…”

This article examines how defendants on trial at the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (lCTY) appropriate the tribunal as a platform for national myth and group making. Specifically, the article analyzes Radovan Karadzic and Vojislav Seselj's "performances" at The Hague in order to highlight the particular ways in which the defendants craft and mobilize the nationalist narrative. The article introduces the phenomenon of "the war criminal cult" and traces three stages of its production, including the defendants' collectivization of guilt, epitomization of The Hague as the ultimate enemy of the nation, and construction of "Serbs" as the biggest victims of international justice and of themselves as martyrs befallen with the task of defending the dignity of the nation. The "war criminal cult" is thus "made" in conversation with the "imperial West" in a collective narrative that contests the legitimacy and the intention of The Hague while disguising individual responsibility.

Dehumanization is often explored in the context of inhumane acts of intergroup and interpersonal violence, and is considered a precursor to extreme atrocities. However, research suggests that we may all engage dehumanized perceptions, at least occasionally, if the social context or goals encourage dehumanization. This implies an individual difference nature of dehumanization propensity. Across four online studies (cross‐sectional Studies 1, 3, 4, and longitudinal Study 2), we develop and validate the Humanity Inventory (HumIn), a self‐report measure of individual differences in the propensity to engage dehumanization. Study 1 (N = 86) entailed item selection. Study 2 (N = 235) examined the validity of the scale and investigated its test–retest reliability. Study 3 (N = 259) compared the HumIn with pre‐existing scales measuring related constructs. Study 4 (N = 98) examined the scale's performance in a situational example of dehumanization. Across all studies, the HumIn performs admirably, showing excellent reliability and validity. This novel instrument and broader conceptualization of dehumanization propensity should allow researchers to tackle questions related to dehumanization from a novel perspective, and will aid future research by providing a tool for assessment.
