Abstract
The human rights discourse has been justified by the need to move past
the restrains and impunity that arose from nationalism and citizenship
rights. Although international criminal law has recently been imagined
as the scenario or theatre to reinforce the existence of a ‘political community of justice’ based on our common humanity, it has not been able
to displace the concept of state sovereignty. This shows how our ‘natural
indifference to others’ is not overcome by the simple use of language,
by the subscription of covenants or by the creation of institutions and
mechanisms for the adjudication of justice.
