AB  - Currently considered the crimes against humanity, among others, applying the principle of
criminal justice jurisdiction or universal, thereby eventually this kind of crime can be investigated
and tried under the Statute of the International Criminal Court or in the exercise of
that same principle exercised by any country. Countries like Spain, UK, Belgium, etc.., have
applied universal jurisdiction in media cases of former Argentine military or the famous case
of Augusto Pinochet.
This paper makes a brief analysis of the offenses that achieve standards that are protective
of transgressing universal legal goods. Our primary goal is to explain this principle in order
to avoid impunity in crimes of international nature. For this reason it is clarified in the Principle
of Universal Jurisdiction applied in Spain, in that perspective we analyze recent crimes
against humanity that occurred in Colombia that are subsumed under the category of crimes
that could be brought to universal jurisdiction in that sense are studied the characteristics of
the extraterritoriality of Colombian criminal law at the international level.
