- Abstract
The International Criminal Court is the greatest effort in the search of universal justice for crimes against humanity. Despite its value and the effort to make it work, its effectiveness in the production of sentences shows mixed results. What are the conditions that limit the Court performance? This article offers answers based on a qualitative comparative analysis of the cases treated by the International Criminal Court, considering internal and external factors as well. The result is discouraging for the aspirations of effectiveness of international criminal justice, as the evidence indicates those offenders who have the support of great powers or who obtain internal victory and control important natural resources tend to get rid of the consequences of their crimes. The article contributes to the literature on international courts by providing evidence on the difficulties they face in prosecuting human rights violators holding power positions.
