contents THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT AND THE CONSTRUCTION OF INTERNATIONAL PUBLIC ORDER Sofia Santos Relaciones Internacionales Terrorism The Rome Statute International Crimes Responsibility to Protect International Public Order Envisioning an in ternational public order means envisioning an order sustained by a legal and institutional framework that ensures effective collective action with a view to defending fundamental values of the international community and to solving common global problems, in line with the universalist vision of international law. Envisioning the construction of an international public order means considering that this framework, which embraces and promotes the respect for human ri ghts focused particularly on human dignity , is consolidating and evolving based on the International Crimi nal Court (ICC). The establishment of the ICC added an international punitive perennial facet to international humanitarian l aw and international human rights l aw and linked justice to peace, to security and to the well-being of the world, reaffirming the principles and objectives of the Charter of the United Nations (UN) . Nevertheless, the affirmation process of an international criminal justice by punishing those responsible for the most serious crimes of concern to the international community as a whole, faces numerous obstacles of political and normative character. This article identifies the central merits of the Rome Statute and ICC ’s practice and indicates its limitations caused by underlying legal-political tensions and interpretive questions relating to the crime of aggression and crimes against humanity. Finally, the article argues for the indispensability of rethinking the jurisdiction of the ICC, defending the categorization of terrorism as an international crime, and of articulating its mission with the "responsibility to protect", which may contribute to the consolidation of the ICC and of international criminal l aw and reinforce its role in the construction of an effective international public order. 2015 artículo científico 1647-7251 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=413536172002 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=4135 JANUS.NET, e-journal of International Relations application/pdf Universidade Autónoma de Lisboa JANUS.NET, e-journal of International Relations (Portugal) Num.2 Vol.5
