Abstract Three times in the last 10 months, the International Criminal Court’s prosecutor has made solemn statements about arrest warrants, not of ‘small fish’ – but of senior officials of sovereign states. He has done so amidst increasing criticism, a tightening budget, and sanctions by the United States of America. Now that the former president of the Philippines Rodrigo Duterte is in the box, scholar Lucy Gaynor exposes the paradox of this apparent performance for a Court in trouble.
