Chapter 4 focuses on the second manifestation of backlash politics: the creation of alternate or substitute justice mechanisms. This chapter considers how the tribunals’ dependency on member states, normative discontent, the domestic implications of international human rights and criminal adjudication, and the likelihood of future repression prompted a set of African Union (AU) member states to try to orchestrate a mass walkout of the International Criminal Court (ICC) and the establishment of a new, tri-chamber AU court that would supplant – but not fully replace – the ICC’s jurisdiction. The chapter then pivots to Latin America and examines a similar effort led by Venezuela to create a UNASUR human rights court that would supplant the Inter-American Human Rights System.
