Il processo di Norimberga e il “ruolo costituzionale” del diritto e della giurisdizione penale internazionale e/o universale, ieri e oggi

In this paper, an attempt is made to reflect on the ‘constitutional role’ of international and/or universal criminal law and jurisdiction, linking in the first part to the Nuremberg Trials and in the second part to some recent events that have brought into focus, in particular, the role of the International Criminal Court and the possibility of introducing a code of international crimes and a form of universal criminal jurisdiction for such crimes at the national level.
