The theme “Crimes against humanity” is as bombastic as to the gravity caused the violation of human rights, the Court (Criminal) International, is just as entitled in relation to the intervention of the same violations in the territories covered in the former Yugoslavia.
Mention that in the Nuremberg Tribunals Temporary, Yugoslavia and Rwanda have handled the issue, and the handling of it has been favorable, as they have been specific cases that have served to punish the culprits which has achieved the status of Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court compile the information needed to form the criminality with respect to the cases.
Both crimes against humanity and war crimes are the most serious violations committed against human rights, especially internationally, as far as Only recently has taken awareness of the need for the establishment of courts that can fight, to provide all member states of the international community peaceful coexistence.
These courts have therefore sought a better quality of life, relationships, living together, ending with the morbid impulses of unscrupulous people who harm others regardless of the consequences that this entails.
