committed by Burmese Military Junta. Although the case was rejected due to the lack of connections to
Spanish interests, ignoring customary international humanitarian law, it remains unanswered by the
Spanish Supreme Court and Constitutional Court, if Spanish jurisdiction can enforce individual criminal
responsibilities for the commission of war crimes in the context of internal armed conflicts. |
