WHAT MECHANISMS FOR THE FIGHT AGAINST THE IMPUNITY OF PEACEKEEPERS PERPETRATORS OF WAR CRIMES.
Main Article Content
Abstract
The credibility of peacekeeping missions (PKOs) depends on several factors, in this case their effectiveness, the short duration of their operations but also their ability to deliver justice in the event of offenses committed by one of theirs. However, it turns out that this criterion relating to justice has been greatly lacking in recent years, particularly in that a phenomenon of impunity for peacekeepers committing offenses has developed. In this work, the author aims to solve this problem. To this end, it presents the factors at the origin of impunity. The author then demonstrates the legality and possibilities of implementing international justice before finally exposing the importance of the action of the Prosecutor at the International Criminal Court (PICC) and the Secretary General of the United Nations (SGUN) for the implementation of this justice.
