“I can't breathe! I can't breathe! I can’t breathe!" With those words, African American George Floyd sadly left our society with an eternal, definitive, and irrevocable silence. Today Derek Chauvin, the Minneapolis police officer, has been found guilty of all charges in George Floyd's death. Meanwhile, society attempts to negotiate peace with those who killed thousands of millions of people in order to shield them from impunity. However, there is no justice without victims. If the concept of "Justice" in international criminal law must sometimes be effective under the acceptance of ongoing peace negotiation or other alternative mechanisms to the detriment of the victim’s rights then, we are destroying the life and liberty of the future generations. In this regard, although the International Criminal Court was created to put an end to the gravest human rights abuses, its objective is sometimes challenged, to detriment of victims, because of the ambiguity that the phrase “interests of justice” in Article 53 raises.
