Élargir la compétence extraterritoriale des juridictions nationales françaises concernant les infractions visées par le statut de la Cour pénale internationale

Stage committeeUpdated 4mo ago

This legislative proposal aims to expand the extraterritorial jurisdiction of French courts. It focuses on allowing France to prosecute crimes that fall under the mandate of the International Criminal Court, such as genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes, even when they occur outside French territory. This change would primarily affect individuals accused of grave international crimes. It strengthens the legal ability of the French justice system to ensure that such crimes do not go unpunished regardless of where they were committed.
