Abstract

ABSTRACT This article explores the determinants of individual support for international criminal tribunals using extensive survey data from the Balkans. The surveys were conducted in 2003–2004, as the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) was issuing its final indictments. The article identifies five broad explanations for individual attitudes towards international criminal tribunals: individual proximity, partisan motivations, confidence extrapolation, legal values, and identity-based narratives. The empirical analysis shows that individual attitudes towards ICTY were strongly shaped by partisan motivations, predispositions towards international bodies such as the EU, and ethnonationalism.
