fiat justitia, ruat coelum: uma análise da eficácia do tribunal penal internacional enquanto organização internacional

Abstract

Created in 1998 and into force since 2002, the International Criminal Court (ICC) represented an innovation in the field of International Relations and for the human rights regime in combating impunity and in the ensure of accountability. Thus, as an essential actor and representing current issues, it sought to position it in the debate of International Organizations (IOs) with the aim of answering the following question: since its entry into force, has the ICC been proven effective as an IO? To this end, through descriptive and exploratory objectives, starting from classical and recent bibliographics and documentary reviews and using the analytical interpretive method through generalizing constructions, a logical trajectory was followed: initially presenting the debates involving IOs, then a balance of the Court with the creation of an original and essential table for ICC studies, and finally, starting from a definition of effectiveness built throughout the work, the effectiveness of the ICC was analyzed in light of its contributions, criticisms pointed out since its creation, and performance indicators of the institution itself. Finally, as results, the hypothesis of the ICC's effectiveness was confirmed, thus filling a fundamental gap in the area's studies with an original and innovative analysis of the topic.
