El ataque sistemático contra Defensores/as de Derechos Humanos en asuntos ambientales

Abstract

The International Criminal Court as the highest Court of International Criminal Law on a permanent basis, in its exercise of investigation and prosecution of the crimes of Genocide, Against Humanity, Aggression and War Crimes, has identified and compiled from the Common and Civil Law, elements pertinent to each of these crimes. Systematicity, as a contextual element that can be evidenced about attacks against a civilian population, is examined in the context of crimes against Humanity and its understanding can serve as a parameter to assess the nature of the attack committed against Human Rights Defenders in Environmental matters, which would contribute to increasing the response of the judicial system and the administration of justice as a constitutional principle.

Keywords: International Criminal Court, Against Humanity, Human Rights Defenders in Environmental matters, Systematic.
