Caminhos árduos da justiça criminal internacional: exercício da jurisdição criminal em face de órgãos constitucionais processados por crimes internacionais no Tribunal Especial para Serra Leoa

Abstract

The present research is characterized by the attempt to make a de jure seasoned reconstruction that avoids the easy temptation to interpret in an overly extensive manner the jurisprudential practice, both internal and international, in favor of overcoming the rules on immunity, seen as a "hateful privilege" to be fought at any cost. Indeed, the recognition of the judicial exemption, protecting the State and the bodies acting on its behalf, has allowed, over time, the preservation of international relations and, ultimately, the same peaceful coexistence of the international community.
