BRAZILIAN JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL LAW Call for Papers Vol. 21 no.1 2024 International Criminal Court: 25 years Deadline for submissions: 1st August 2023 SPECIAL ISSUE The Brazilian Journal of International Law invites submissions for a special issue on “International Criminal Court: 25 years” to be published in January 2024. The issue will be edited by Professors Juliette Robichez (Centro Universitário Jorge Amado - Unijorge, Brasil; president of International Law Commission of the Institute of Lawyers of Bahia), Rafael A. Prieto Sanjuan (Pontificia Universidad Javeriana, Colombia), Jean-François Akandji-Kombé (University of Paris-I Panthéon Sorbonne, France). The special issue of the Brazilian Journal of International Law aims to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Rome Statute, founding text of the International Criminal Court (ICC) as one of the pillars of the international legal system. This jurisdiction, of a permanent nature, like the other ad hoc and hybrid tribunals, "cause of all humanity", according to Kofi Annan, former Secretary General of the UN, undoubtedly represents a step forward in international relations in its historical civilizing framework, helping to bring justice to victims and prevent crimes. Admittedly, the ICC is not a panacea for trying all the crimes perpetrated in the world, because as a court of last resort, it strives to complement national courts and not to replace them, but it is undeniable that it has served and still serves as a laboratory for national and international criminal courts wishing to fight effectively against impunity by respecting the rule of law, in particular fundamental procedural guarantees. However, the ICC is not exempt from criticism affecting its legitimacy, its functioning, its composition, its personnel, and its jurisprudence. After more than 20 years of activity, since the Rome Statute entered into force in 2002, it is time to take stock of its action, knowing that international judges have rendered only about ten convictions and 4 acquittals, to reflect on the past, present, and future of international criminal justice. The call for papers is open to a variety of topics, such as: 1) Historical development and theory of international criminal justice and organization of the ICC; ICC funding and budget; 2) The substantive and procedural aspects of international criminal law; legal remedies; 3) ICC relations with member and non-member states; Sovereignty, cooperation and the principle of complementarity; 4) The fundamental guarantees of human rights before international criminal jurisdiction; 5) Interactions of the ICC with other regional and international bodies and other criminal and non-criminal jurisdictions; mutual effects for public international law, international relations, and international criminal law; 6) Comparative country-specific approaches toward international criminal law and international criminal justice; domestic policy that affects international criminal law; 7) Subjects and protagonists of the international criminal trial: prosecutor, judge, accused, lawyer, victim, witness, registry; role of civil society and the amicus curiae; 8) Definition and qualification of international crimes; emergence of new international crimes; 9) Sanction, detention and reparation mechanisms; Victims Reparation Fund; 10) The ICC and international public opinion (educational and awareness-raising actions, information, case law databases, etc.); new technologies and international criminal justice. Empirically informed case studies and more theoretical contributions are equally encouraged.

O número será editado pelos professores Juliette Robichez (Centro Universitário Jorge Amado - Unijorge, Brasil; presidente da Comissão de Direito Internacional do Instituto de Advogados da Bahia), Rafael A. Prieto Sanjuan (Pontificia Universidad Javeriana, Colômbia - Centro Latino-Americano da Universidade de Oxford), Jean-François Akandji-Kombé (Université Paris-I Panthéon Sorbonne, França). Um número especial da Revista Brasileira de Direito Internacional visa comemorar os 25 anos do Estatuto de Roma, texto fundador do Tribunal Penal Internacional (TPI), como um dos pilares do sistema jurídico internacional. Esta jurisdição, de caráter permanente, como os demais tribunais ad hoc e híbridos, “causas de toda a humanidade”, segundo Kofi Annan, ex-secretário-geral da ONU, representa sem dúvida um avanço nas relações internacionais em seu marco histórico civilizatório. ajudando a trazer justiça às vítimas e prevenir crimes. É certo que o TPI não é a panaceia para julgar todos os crimes perpetrados no mundo, pois como jurisdição de última instância, busca complementar os tribunais nacionais e não os substituir, mas é inegável que serviu e ainda serve como um laboratório para os tribunais criminais nacionais e internacionais que pretendam lutar eficazmente contra a impunidade, respeitando o estado de Direito, em particular as garantias processuais fundamentais. No entanto, o TPI não está isento de críticas que afetam sua legitimidade, seu funcionamento, sua composição, seu pessoal e sua jurisprudência. Depois de mais de 20 anos de atividade, desde que o Estatuto de Roma entrou em vigor em 2002, é hora de fazer um balanço de sua atuação, sabendo que os juízes internacionais proferiram apenas cerca de dez condenações e 4 absolvições, para refletir sobre o passado, presente e futuro da justiça penal internacional. A chamada de artigos está aberta a uma variedade de temas, tais como: 1) Desenvolvimento histórico e teórico da justiça penal internacional e organização do TPI; Financiamento e orçamento do TPI; 2) Aspectos materiais e processuais do Direito Penal Internacional; remédios legais; 3) Relações do TPI com Estados membros e não membros; Soberania, cooperação e princípio da complementaridade; 4) Garantias fundamentais dos direitos humanos perante a jurisdição penal internacional; 5) Interações do TPI com outros órgãos regionais e internacionais e outras jurisdições criminais e não criminais; efeitos mútuos entre o Direito Internacional Público, as relações internacionais e o Direito Penal Internacional; 6) Abordagens comparativas específicas de cada país em relação ao Direito Penal Internacional e à justiça penal internacional; políticas domésticas que afetam o Direito Penal Internacional; 7) Sujeitos e protagonistas do processo penal internacional: procurador, juiz, arguido, advogado, vítima, testemunha, registo; papel da sociedade civil e do amicus curiae; 8) Definição e tipificação de crimes internacionais; surgimento de novos crimes internacionais; 9) Mecanismos de pena, detenção e reparação; fundo de reparação às vítimas; 10) O TPI e a opinião pública internacional (ações educativas e de sensibilização, informação, bases de dados jurisprudenciais etc.); novas tecnologias e justiça penal internacional. Estudos de caso empiricamente informados e mais contribuições teóricas são igualmente encorajados. Revue brésilienne de Droit International Vol. 21 no. 1. 2024 Appel à contributions La Cour pénale internationale : 25 ans Date limite pour l’envoi des articles : 1 août 2023 La Revue brésilienne de droit international lance un appel à (contributions) pour un numéro spécial sur « La Cour pénale internationale : 25 ans » qui sera publié en janvier 2024. Le numéro sera coordonné et édité par les Professeurs Juliette Robichez (Centro Universitário Jorge Amado - Unijorge, Brésil ; Présidente de la Commission du droit international de l'Institut des Avocats de Bahia), Rafael A. Prieto Sanjuan (Pontificia Universidad Javeriana, Colombie - Centre latino-américain de l'Université d'Oxford), Jean-François Akandji-Kombé (Université de Paris-I Panthéon Sorbonne, France). Ce numéro spécial de la Revue brésilienne de droit international vise à célébrer le 25° anniversaire du Statut de Rome, texte fondateur de la Cour pénale internationale (CPI) qui constitue l’un des piliers du système juridique international actuel. L’ensemble constitué par la CPI, institution permanente, et les tribunaux ad hoc et hybrides, « cause de toute l’humanité » selon la formule de l’ancien Secrétaire général de l’ONU, M. Kofi Annan, représente incontestablement une avancée historique des relations internationales dans un sens « civilisateur », en ce qu’il permet de rendre justice aux victimes et de prévenir les crimes. Certes, la CPI n’est pas en mesure de juger tous les crimes perpétrés dans le monde, car son office est complémentaire, et non substitutive, de celui des juridictions nationales. Elle n’en reste pas moins un laboratoire pour les tribunaux criminels nationaux et internationaux qui souhaitent lutter efficacement contre l’impunité en respectant les standards internationaux de l’Etat de droit, en particulier les garanties fondamentales du procès équitable. Cela étant, les critiques contre la CPI ne manquent pas. Elles portent tout à la fois sur sa légitimité, son fonctionnement, sa composition, son personnel et sa jurisprudence. Après plus de 20 années d’activités – le Statut de Rome est entré en vigueur en 2002 – l’on se propose de faire un bilan de l’action de la Juridiction qu’elle a mise en place, sachant que celle-ci n’a rendu à ce jour que peu de décisions (une dizaine de condamnations et 4 acquittements). Ce bilan est l’occasion de réfléchir plus largement sur le passé, le présent et l’avenir de la justice internationale pénale. L’appel à contributions est ouvert à une variété de sujets, tels que : 1) Développement historique et théorie de la justice internationale pénale ; organisation de la CPI ; financement et budget de la CPI ; 2) Aspects de fond et de procédure du droit international pénal ; recours juridiques et juridictionnels ; 3) Interactions de la CPI avec les États membres et non membre ; souveraineté, coopération et principe de complémentarité ; 4) Les garanties fondamentales des droits de l'homme devant la juridiction pénale internationale ; 5) Interactions de la CPI avec d'autres instances régionales et internationales et d'autres juridictions pénales et non pénales ; effets mutuels pour le droit international public ; les relations internationales et le droit pénal international ; 6) Approches nationales comparatives du droit pénal international et de la justice pénale internationale ; les politiques nationales qui affectent le droit international pénal; 7) Sujets et protagonistes du procès pénal international : procureur, juge, accusé, avocat, victime, témoin, greffe ; rôle de la société civile et de l'amicus curiae ; 8) Définition et qualification des crimes internationaux ; émergence de nouveaux crimes internationaux ; 9) Mécanismes de sanction, de détention et de réparation ; fonds d'indemnisation des victimes ; 10) La CPI et l'opinion publique internationale (actions d'éducation et de sensibilisation, information, bases de données jurisprudentielles, etc.) ; technologies de l'information et justice pénale internationale. Le numéro spécial accueillera une large gamme de contributions : des études de cas fondées sur des données empiriques jusqu’à des contributions théoriques.
