El terrorismo en la jurisprudencia del Tribunal Penal Internacional para la Antigua Yugoslavia

Abstract

: The ICTY’s Statute did not explicitly establish its jurisdiction over the crime of terror nor did it include a definition. Nonetheless, such circumstances did not prevent the tribunal from developing its own jurisprudence regarding the issue of terrorism. This article aims to compile and exam the ICTY’s case law pertaining to the evolution of the definition and criminalization of terrorism. With the focus on the case of “Prosecutor v. Stanislav Gali ć ”, it reviews its doctrine and the jurisprudence before and after it regarding those specific matters. In the final remarks, this relevant jurisprudence is assessed among other endeavors made to define terrorism in international law.
