This essay intends to analyze, from the application of the theory of the judicial trilemma of professors Jeffrey L. Dunoff and Mark A. Pollack, the functioning of the International Criminal Court (ICC) and the Federal Supreme Court of Brazil. This theory was developed a priori to understand the functioning of international courts, however it was extended to the study of national supreme courts, such as the Supreme Court of the United States that the authors analyze. With the purpose of extending the use of this theory in studies of international and constitutional law, the article proposes to analyze the ICC and the Brazilian supreme court. For this, the theory of the judicial trilemma is first presented, in addition to its methodological and theoretical bases, and then it deals with the two cases that this essay intends to analyze. As a secondary objective, this essay seeks to disseminate the theory of the judicial trilemma to the public in other areas of human and social sciences, not being restricted to specialists of international courts and international law.
