I'm currently pursuing a study that seeks to answer the following central question: How does the International Criminal Court (ICC), an international justice institution characterized by multilingualism at almost every level, function in a fluid linguistic landscape where a new “situation language” can be added at any moment as the Court opens investigations, confirms charges, and carries out trials? In essence, this is an ethnographic study of the ICC’s language services, service providers, and service users. This study examines the services and activities associated with the Court’s official languages – English and French – as well as its more than two dozen situation languages. The study focuses in particular on how the ICC accommodates speakers of African languages – accused persons, witnesses, victims, and members of affected communities – through its policies and procedures across the organs of the Court.
