GARCIA OTERO, Ruth Cristina. Considerations regarding the International Criminal Court. Justicia [online]. 2015, n.27, pp.135-152. ISSN 0124-7441. https://doi.org/10.17081/just.3.27.324.
The creation of the International Criminal Court -which Statute was approved on July 17, 1998- as a permanent international criminal court of justice, is one of the most important events of the XX century. This event should be seen as the culmination of a process which formally started about half a century before. Indeed, it was through the Resolution adopted by the UN on December 1946 -still fresh in people's memory due to the catastrophe that WWII meant- by which this international organization condemned genocide as a crime against International Law. The purpose of having a permanent international Tribunal to judge the crimes that threaten the peace and security of humanity has not been pursued without obstacles. The previous attempts to create international criminal tribunals do not match what was established in the Resolution of the UN aforementioned -its purpose seems to have been reached on July 1, 2002, with the entry into force of the Statute of the International Criminal Court, on completion of the sixty ratifications needed- but that predate WWII.
