La Corte Penal Internacional inaugura un nuevo tipo de relaciones en la comunidad de naciones

Abstract

The States accepted the Rome Statute clearly expressed their decision to fight against the impunity of the crimes againts humanity (genocide, war crimes, crime of lese-humanity and aggression); The creation of the international Criminal Court (the highest judicial organization in charge of punishing Humanitarian Law and Human Rights violations) means the result of the joint work of community nations and reflects their assent in regards that its action and coverage will guarantee human rights full protection, starting from the nucleus of the minimal common law, to world peace preservation, judging and punishing all Kinds of crimes against humanitarian law. The characteristics of the International Criminal Court (integrity, autonomy and independence) show its political intention, that justice application will not be like in the past, where tribunal´s conformation and their codes, represented specific interests of international hegemonies, predetermined power relations and individualist negotiations that represented perverse immunities; which resulted in the most atrocious picture of impunity ever seen.
