Crime of Aggression; Human Security; Human Rights.Resumo
A guerra da Ucrânia, iniciada por Putin em 2022, desencadeou um debate internacional sobre as condições em que o crime de agressão pode ser julgado em tribunais internacionais.
Este artigo discute estratégias alternativas propostas pelo Direito Internacional para responsabilizar integralmente os responsáveis por crimes de agressão, que apontam para a necessidade de redefinição do crime de agressão numa perspetiva de direitos humanos. O texto pretende fomentar o debate interdisciplinar entre o Direito Internacional e as Relações Internacionais sobre o tema, numa perspetiva de segurança humana. Este conceito, desenvolvido no âmbito das Relações Internacionais, enfatiza o indivíduo como referente da análise de segurança.
