DIAZ TOLOSA, Regina Ingrid. The Civil Liability Statute in the Geneva Conventions and its Application by the Chilean courts of Justice. Bol. Mex. Der. Comp. [online]. 2019, vol.52, n.156, pp.1361-1382. Epub 23-Mar-2021. ISSN 2448-4873. https://doi.org/10.22201/iij.24484873e.2019.156.15156.
This article examines the discussion on the prescription of civil remedial actions in cases of crimes against humanity, and especially, Chilean judges' interpretation on this statute, applying the 1949 Geneva Conventions. According to the canons of interpretation of International Law, it is considered as basic principle the reparation of the victims (or their families) of violations of human dignity, therefore the imprescriptibly of these crimes are applicable not only to criminal liability, also to civil.
