Alinea 192 Parket bij de Hoge Raad 26 juni 2018

Een alinea uit Parket bij de Hoge Raad 26 juni 2018, ECLI:NL:PHR:2018:1394.

‘The current status of international practice, in particular its inconsistency combined with the more and more widespread opinio iuris in the international community that international crimes should be punished, could be conceptualized as follows. Subject to what has been said above with regard to terrorism and what is stated below with regard to genocide and crimes against humanity, there is not yet any general obligation for states to refrain from enacting amnesty laws on these crimes. Consequently, if a state passes any such law, it does not breach a customary rule. Nonetheless, if the courts of another state having in custody persons accused of international crimes decide to prosecute them, although in their national state they would benefit from an amnesty law, such courts would not act contrary to general international law, in particular to the principle of respect for the sovereign prerogatives of other states.’
