And if so, under what conditions? In response to these questions, scholars and practitioners from the Global South and North reflect <i>inter alia</i> on the engagement with international criminal justice in the context of Ukraine, Palestine, and minorities in South-Asia while also highlighting the hegemonic tendencies built into the institutional structure of the International Criminal Court on the axes of gender and language.</p>
