Resumen
El Derecho Penal Internacional busca evitar la impunidad de las
conductas que atentan contra la paz, la seguridad y el bienestar de
la humanidad. Estas conductas son las constitutivas de crímenes de
guerra, lesa humanidad, genocidio y agresión. Únicamente el
Estatuto del Tribunal Penal Internacional, consagra los “actos de
terrorismo” como un crimen de su competencia. Mediante un
proceso de investigación de tratados y jurisprudencia, se logran
identificar conductas constitutivas de terrorismo y se describe el
tratamiento penal internacional que a través de instrumentos y
decisiones se dio a esas conductas. Así, se establece que el
Derecho Penal Internacional no es ajeno al terrorismo ni desde el
punto de vista fáctico ni jurídico, contemplando en algunos hechos
expresamente al terrorismo como un crimen de derecho
internacional, y subsumiendo, en otros casos, el terrorismo dentro
de alguna categoría constitutivas de dichos crímenes. Este trabajo
esclarece la relación del terrorismo con el crimen de lesa
humanidad mediante situaciones constitutivas de actos terroristas.
International criminal law seeks to prevent impunity for the most serious conducts that threatens the peace, security and well-being of humanity. Such conduct is constituted by war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide and aggression. Only the Statute of the International Criminal Tribunal enshrines "acts of terrorism" as a crime within its jurisdiction. Through the analysis of treaties, customs and jurisprudence, it is possible to identify conducts that constituted terrorism in the 20th century and describes the international criminal treatment given to these conducts through instruments and decisions. Thus, it establishes that International Criminal Law is no stranger to terrorism from either a factual or legal point of view, in some cases expressly contemplating terrorism as a crime under international law, and in other cases subsuming terrorism within one of the constituent categories of these crimes. This work clarifies the relationship between terrorism and crimes against humanity through situations constituting terrorist acts.
