El ocaso de la pena de muerte en la Jurisdicción penal internacional. Un ejemplo para la abolición universal

Abstract

International criminal law has attained a milestone in achieving the abolition of the death penalty by vanishing it from the outset of penalties, a success which the international community has been refrained from repeating and nowadays it is swamped due to lack of consensus, thus death penalty is well alive in very distinctive national penal codes. On cursory glance this is indeed paradoxical displaying the incoherence of certain nations where two penal systems overlap, this is blatantly true when those crimes which are perceived by the roots of all mankind cultures as “against all nature” put aside “legalized death”, being disregarded as a faint memory of nooses balancing awkwardly on the galleys of Nuremberg and Tokyo, and keeps functioning for so called normal crimes. Fortunately, an array of different international systems such as the European Union, the Organization of American States and other entities push forward in order to draw an abolitionist pattern thought their memorandums, alas, slowly the surge of Abolitionism keep rising.
