Abstract

This article investigates the contribution of a new type of hybrid actor to fostering the rule of law in weak states. In a number of issue-areas in global governance, hybrid solutions have been experimented with, and the latest manifestation of this global trend towards hybridity are hybrid anti-impunity commissions that have begun to proliferate in Latin America in the past decade or so and that are likely to produce ripple-effects beyond the continent. These commissions do not supplant the justice system of the target state but fight impunity from within it. They do so by assuming some of the sovereign prerogatives traditionally assumed to be falling within the domaine réservé of the host state. The prototype of this new hybrid actor was deployed in Guatemala, where the Comision Internacional Contra la Impunidad en Guatemala had to terminate its mandate after more than a decade of successful work. It remains unclear, however, to what extent such hybrid commissions can effect a lasting transformation of the justice systems of their host states and what scope conditions are required for them to operate successfully. What remains poorly understood, for instance, is how the depth of delegation affects the provision of public goods. In this article I shall argue that hybrid arrangements in which tasks are shared relatively evenly among externals and locals and that thus involve only a partial delegation of authority tend to be more successful and produce more sustainable results than arrangements providing for deeper forms of delegation.
