La relación entre el principio de legalidad en derecho penal internacional y la tipificación internacional de los crímenes de lesa humanidad: una perspectiva histórica
Resumen
En este artículo se revisan los procesos de consolidación del principio de legalidad y de tipificación de los crímenes de lesa humanidad en el ámbito del derecho penal internacional desde una perspectiva histórica. Para ello, se repasa el desarrollo de ambos procesos, partiendo del Tribunal de Núremberg hasta culminar con la consagración del principio de legalidad en una serie de tratados universales de protección de derechos humanos suscritos entre las décadas de 1960 y 1980 y con la tipificación internacional de los crímenes de lesa humanidad en los estatutos de los Tribunales Penales Internacionales para la ex-Yugoslavia y para Ruanda y el Estatuto de Roma de la Corte Penal Internacional.
