    Hacia la criminalidad climática: creación de una quinta categoría de crimen bajo el Estatuto de Roma para penalizar la agravación del cambio climático
    (Servicio de Publicaciones de la Universidad de Navarra, 2020) de-Paor, R. (Risteard)
    The question of the establishment of an internatio­nal environmental crime in the Rome Statute of the Interna­tional Criminal Court has had a long, but ultimately fruitless, history. A common denominator in the thus far proposed crimes whether of ecocide by the International Law Commission or Polly Higgins, or variants thereof is their broadness and imprecision. As well as posing legal difficulties, this has been an insuperable stumbling block for State approval. In parallel, the planet’s climate has been deteriorating to the point that climate change has now become the gravest envi­ronmental and human rights issue facing humankind. There is a patent need to combat this global phenomenon through international criminal law. This article therefore proposes a narrow, precisely defined crime of climate change aggravation as a new fifth category of crime under the Rome Statute. Taking account of the past work on international environmental crime in the UN and doctrinal proposals, as well as current international environmental agreements, the new crime is a tailored proposal with the greatest chance of approval in the short time we have left to act.

    Observaciones de una amica curiae en el caso Al-Bashir ante la Corte Penal Internacional
    (Servicio de Publicaciones de la Universidad de Navarra, 2020) Gamarra-Chopo, Y. (Yolanda)
    This work exposes my experience as an amica curiae in the Al-Bashir case at the International Criminal Court (ICC). The submission of comments on issues of interest to the ICC Appeals Chamber was an excellent opportunity to reflect on different questions affecting contemporary international law, in particular: (i) the clash of sources between the Rome Statute and treaties and international customs on immunities; ii) the vertical cooperation required by the United Nations (UN) Security Council to all States with respect to the detention and delivery of Al-Bashir in accordance with article 89 of the Statute, and iii) international obligations arising from the Statute of Rome and Resolution 1593 (2005) of the UN Security Council and its obligations under other bilateral or multilateral conventions.
