Narcotráfico: ¿Un crimen de lesa humanidad en el Estatuto de Roma de la Corte Penal Internacional?
description
Drug trafficking is a criminal activity that has become an international problem of growing magnitude. In some regions it is an emerging source of instability that threatens to jeopardize international security. Given the danger of this phenome- non, some states have tried to make acts of drug trafficking fall within the jurisdic- tion of an international criminal court. Although no agreement about its inclusion in the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court was finally reached, the possibility of qualifying such acts as crimes against humanity has been raised from different fronts. This would allow their investigation or prosecution by the Inter- national Criminal Court itself. This paper analyses to what extent criminal orga- nizations involved in drug trafficking can fulfill the contextual elements of crimes against humanity as defined by the Rome Statute and, if so, to what extent acts of drug trafficking, despite not being expressly included in the Rome Statute, can be considered as “other inhumane acts” of a similar character to the acts referred to in Article 7 (1) of the Rome Statute.

Em algumas regiões é uma fonte incipiente de instabilidade que ameaça pôr em perigo a segurança internacional. Dada a periculosidade deste fenômeno, alguns Estados têm tentado fazer com que os atos de tráfico de drogas sejam da competência de um tribunal penal internacional. Ainda que não se tenha chegado a um acordo final sobre sua inclusão no Estatuto de Roma do Tribunal Penal Internacional, diversas frentes têm suscitado a possibilidade de que este tipo de ato possa ser classificado como crime de lesa-humanidade, o que permitiria sua investigação e julgamento pelo próprio Tribunal Penal Internacional. Neste artigo, será analisado se as organizações criminais dedicadas ao narcotráfico poderiam cumprir os elementos contextuais dos crimes de lesa-humanidade tal qual sua definição no Estatuto de Roma, e, se assim fosse, se os atos de tráfico de drogas, apesar de não terem sido incluídos expressamente no Estatuto de Roma, poderiam ser considerados como “outros atos desumanos” de caráter similar aos demais enumerados no artigo 7(1) do Estatuto de Roma.El narcotráfico es una actividad delictiva que se ha convertido en un problema in- ternacional de creciente magnitud.
