What would a European scale for international (criminal) justice consist of? The relevance of this question is far from obvious, since Anglophone scholars ignore it as much as research on the European Union overestimates it. According to the latter, this scale would take on significance through a policy of conditionality that leads to progress in relation to Europe and its ideals, the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) being a stepping stone in this process. However, this conception covers up the divisions, conflicts, and paradoxes that permeate the reception of this justice and internal tensions. The very idea of a European scale of justice is analyzed through the reception of the ICTY in Bosnia-Herzegovina.
