SERVIN RODRIGUEZ, Christopher Alexis. The Evolution of Crime Against Humanity in of International Criminal Law. Bol. Mex. Der. Comp. [online]. 2014, vol.47, n.139, pp.209-249. ISSN 2448-4873.
Due to its "ex novo" character and the lack of a definition provided by a treaty, crimes against humanity have been evolutionary defined by different international norms and by the jurisdictional activity of the International criminal tribunals that have been established throughout recent history up until the creation of the International Criminal Court. Thus, both positive and customary International criminal law have represented a competent judicial cooperative way to face these acts, first andforemost, by developing its gradual conceptualization and final codification and, secondly, through enabling the prosecution and the punishment of those responsible for these crimes. Accordingly, the evolution of the crimes against humanity's definition is an outstanding legal element, which has contributed to the further consolidation of international criminal law.
