Abstract

Overall, the Rome Statute is an international instrument which, for the first time in the history of mankind we reach an agreement on the establishment of a criminal court of a global nature to try individuals for the commission of certain facts punishable of particularly serious concern to the community of nations, hence the need to harmonize our legislation with the provisions of the International Criminal Court. The ICC is a permanent court of international justice whose mission is to try individuals accused of committing genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity. It has international legal personality, and not part of the United Nations, although it relates to the terms set out in the Rome Statute, as the founding statement. It is based in the city of The Hague in the Netherlands, and became a reality on July 1, 2002, following the ratification of the Rome Statute by 60 States, currently 114 States have ratified the statute, which is its legal basis. Colombia is one of the states to ratify the accession to the International Criminal Court to reduce the level of impunity index presented in the country. The adoption of the legislative act 02 of the December 27, 2001 was one of the important steps for the Constitution of Colombia and then by the Judgment C -578 /02 of the Constitutional Court declares enforceable and approves the law 742 of June 5, 2002 and declares exequible THE ROME STATUTE OF THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT done in Rome on seventeen (17) July 1998
