Analizar la eficacia de la Corte Penal Internacional ante su atención centrada en conflictos generados en el continente africano

Abstract

Throughout history we have a history of bloody wars where atrocious crimes against humanity have been committed. Faced with this reality, it was necessary to create an International Criminal Court, permanent in the search for alternative means to the conflicts of nations and the maintenance of world peace. However, since its establishment, the International Criminal Court (ICC) has focused its attention, in cases generated in the African continent, to the detriment of other conflicts and violations of rights that have taken place in other regions of the world. This titling work is an analysis of the performance of the ICC since its creation to date, where an attempt will be made to answer the question of whether the International Criminal Court, by focusing its efforts and actions on conflicts generated in Africa, to the detriment of others equally relevant in other countries, was it effective within the framework of its nature, legal and attributions regulated in the Rome Statute? While it is true that it is necessary to give priority to this region, due to the process of building its democracies and the constant conflicts that violate human rights, the ICC was created with a universal character, so by concentrating almost exclusively its actions on this The region loses legitimacy as an institution, leaving aside complaints and conflicts in other places, which are not adequately addressed, offering the opportunity for crimes against humanity to be committed and others that, being of its competence, would go unpunished, which it is contradictory with its objective of imparting universal justice. Finally, the official spokesman of the ICC will be interviewed in order to know their opinion about this problem, as well as, at the same time, an analysis of the cases in charge of the ICC will be carried out to finally bring out the perception that the international community acts on the court's actions and in this way provide a conclusion that answers the question posed in this investigation.
