Abstract
El reconocimiento explícito del poder de activación de la jurisdicción de la Corte Penal Internacional a un órgano eminentemente político, como el Consejo de Seguridad de las Naciones Unidas, y la consiguiente potestad de remisión de una situación a la Fiscalía, son el resultado natural de la función primaria que le corresponde como órgano principal al que la Carta de las Naciones Unidas confiere la responsabilidad primordial de mantener la paz y la seguridad internacionales. Precisamente la diversa naturaleza de ambas instituciones es la cuestión de mayor envergadura en orden a garantizar la jurisdicción de una Corte libre de manipulaciones políticas. Su eficacia como institución independiente, de carácter permanente, vinculada sustancial, funcional y económicamente a la Organización de las Naciones Unidas, está supeditada a la activa colaboración con el Consejo de Seguridad, con el fin de garantizar el ejercicio de sus funciones y la realización de sus propósitos.
The explicit recognition of the power to activate the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court to an eminently political body, such as the United Nations Security Council, and the subsequent power to refer a situation to the Office of the Prosecutor, are the natural result of its primary role as the principal body to which the Charter of the United Nations confers primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security. Precisely the diverse nature of both institutions is the larger question in order to guarantee the jurisdiction of a Court free of political manipulations. Its effectiveness as an independent permanent institution, which is substantially, functionally and economically linked to the United Nations, is subject to the active cooperation with the Security Council, in order to ensure the exercise of its functions and the fulfilment of its purposes.
