The marginalization of the International Criminal Court in fighting international terrorism and in the wake of the crushing of the democratic revolutions in the Arab world seems to definitively put an end to the ideal of Peace through law that was inaugurated in Nuremberg. Yet, from redeeming to transforming, the meaning of this justice may well be reconsidered without losing its fundamentals (sanction, prevention, reparation). Despite the intensification of contrasting actors (the major geopolitical powers) and internal tensions (at the Assembly of States Parties or within the Court itself), and the lack of resources, it has the inner resources to improve its effectiveness and develop new forms of justice. Thus, the duty to imagine the future of international criminal justice is no less grand and challenging for its heirs today than it was for its pioneers.
