ABSTRACT

The doctrine of 'humanitarian exception' developed during the humanitarian wars of the 1990s as an emergency power to suspend fundamental norms of international law, in a particular locality and for a limited time, order to prosecute 'egregious crimes against humanity' is generalized and transformed. The 'War on Terror' resembles the persecutio piratarum that traversed the Mediterranean world in the days of the Roman Imperial pax. The Economic globalization been supplemented by an accelerating institutional integration, which points toward new global juridical structures. The constitution of the United Nations represented the most decisive attempt to include the entire world under a single juridical order. Resolution 1851, in particular, urged all members of the international community to necessary measures that are appropriate in.
