Abstract

OLASOLO, Héctor. THE PURPOSES OFINTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL LAW. Int. Law: Rev. Colomb. Derecho Int. [online]. 2016, n.29, pp.93-146. ISSN 1692-8156.  https://doi.org/10.11144/Javeriana.il14-29.fdip.

International criminal law (DIP) requires developing a solid theoretical framework on the purposes it aims for, given its consistent application by national and international courts since the 1990s. The special characteristics of the DIP make it not easily translatable for the purposes of national criminal law. Consequently, in order to determine its content, it is necessary to explore the nature of the legal assets protected by the main categories of offenses that comprise it, and the role the sentence has in the DIP.

Keywords : International Criminal Law, ICL; international peace and security; goals of punishment; retribution and prevention; justice for victims.
