This research conducts an exploratory study of the individual leadership competences of judicial actors comprised of the Presidency of the Court, Office of the Prosecutor, and Registry and its support staff within the International Criminal Court (ICC) located at The Hague, Netherlands.
The research objectives of this study are not only to identify leadership competencies of current and former president of the court, office of the prosecutor, and registry or court administrator and their support staff but also to generate a body of knowledge that explores judicial actors as leaders within the national and international judicial systems.
By developing a conceptual roadmap this study benefits the international community by creating a body of knowledge that bridges the disciplines of leadership and judicial processes that addresses the emerging complexity and global significance of transitional justice in post conflict environments.
This study lays the foundation for transitional justice scholar-practitioners to determine the role leadership traits and competencies play within the international judicial community to prosecute human rights violations, protect victims from further human rights violations, and sustain the rule of law in a post conflict environment.
The aim of this study is to advance knowledge in the field of global leadership by introducing the application of institutional and organizational leadership competences into the discipline of International Law. Also, to generate new knowledge of the critical role that individual leadership traits and competencies play as transitional justice practitioners seek to achieve national reconciliation in a post conflict environment. In other words, this study will make a significant contribution to the fields of leadership and international justice by understanding the role that individual leadership traits play within the ICC as transitional justice theorists seek to understand and develop legitimate legal capacities in a post conflict environment.
