Resumen

In 2008, I found a book that would mark my academic and professional work over the following years. It was Defending Humanity [Oxford University Press, 2008]. In the conclusion, authors George P. Fletcher and Jens David Ohlin write: “The value of a national culture is not just instrumental, but intrinsic. National cultures are more than a source of warmongering and national prejudice, they are a source of the inspiration and difference that make human flourishing possible.” I reflected on the relationships between globalization, nationality and international law. I would intuitively conclude later that globalization is a far more complex phenomenon than we tend to believe; also, that the concept of nationality is not ready to disappear but instead is in the process of affirming itself. Finally, I inferred that international criminal law realistically holds the promise of an expanding legal globalization. These reflections form the basis of this article.
