Background
Colombia is the only country of the 86 that ratified the Statute of the International Criminal Court to have submitted a declaration in relation to possible amnesties or pardons for those responsible of human rights violations, which is in breach of international law.
Furthermore, the reservation submitted to the effect of not accepting the Court’s jurisdiction over war crimes over a seven-year period undermines the protection of fundamental rights.
