From the oldest times, there appeared certain norms of penal international law meant
to prevent the committing of serious offenses, as well as for sanctioning them. This distinct
branch of the public international law is called upon to protect - by sanctioning persons
guilty of committing serious offenses - peace and security of the whole humanity, the
development in conformity with the norms of the law and moral of the international relations,
the existence and perenniality of fundamental human values.
