Abstract

This chapter delves into the profound influence of international criminal law on global understandings of violence, drawing on Marxist theories and Antonio Gramsci's concepts of hegemony. It argues that international criminal law not only reflects but also shapes societal perceptions of violence, with significant implications for justice and peace. The author critiques the narrow focus of international criminal law on spectacular and intentional violence, highlighting the invisibility of structural violence. By exploring the hegemonic power of international criminal law, the chapter offers a critical perspective on its role in global justice and peace efforts, challenging conventional narratives and encouraging a broader understanding of violence.
