Abstract
International criminal law (DIP) requires developing a solid theoretical
framework on the purposes it aims for, given its consistent application by
national and international courts since the 1990s. The special characteristics
of the DIP make it not easily translatable for the purposes of national
criminal law. Consequently, in order to determine its content, it is necessary
to explore the nature of the legal assets protected by the main categories of
offenses that comprise it, and the role the sentence has in the DIP.
