My point is simply that that adapting to the latest round of criticisms is not the raison d’être of the ICC. The reactions and inputs are useful in making calibrations in how best to build legitimacy and effectiveness, and even in helping to inform and refine the institution’s mandate, but pleasing the crowds is not the mandate per se.
