摘要

Enhancing the Legitimacy and Accountability of Prosecutorial Discretion at the International Criminal Court Allison Marston Danner This article inquires into both the political accountability of the ICC Prosecutor regarding the considerable discretion invested in him by the Rome Statute and the extent to which he will be able to claim legitimacy. The author argues that the Prosecutor can contribute to the ICC's legitimacy through good process, which should include the public articulation of prosecutorial guidelines that will shape and constrain his discretionary decisions.
