I26-R133-article-77722020-12-04T13:34:50Z Latin America and the historiography of international criminal law América Latina y la historiografía del Derecho Penal Internacional Quintana, Francisco José International criminal law history of international law Latin America critical studies human rights Derecho penal internacional Historia del derecho internacional América Latina estudios críticos derechos humanos This article explores the relationship between the history of international criminal law, the historical turn in international law, and Latin America. The article argues that the «textbook narrative» has facilitated the justification of the project of international criminal law at the expense of spreading a simplistic history that assumes that the discipline has existed in its actual form since, at least, the aftermath of World War II. The article shows how this narrative has begun to be challenged by the historical turn in international law, which has instilled a methodological concern to international legal scholarship broadly. Finally, this article argues that the exclusion of certain developments that took place in Latin America during the transitions to democracy starting in the 1980s from the conventional history of international criminal law points to a number of significative problems in the historiography of the discipline. Este artículo explora la relación entre la historia del derecho penal internacional, el giro histórico en el derecho internacional y América Latina. Argumenta que la «narrativa del manual» ha facilitado la justificación del proyecto del derecho penal internacional, a expensas de difundir una historia simplista que asume que la disciplina ha existido en su forma actual desde, al menos, la posguerra de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Elartículo muestra cómo esta narrativa ha comenzado a ser desafiada por el giro histórico en el derecho internacional, que ha infundido una preocupación metodológica al estudio del derecho internacional en general. Por último, el artículo argumenta que la exclusión de ciertos desarrollos que tuvieron lugar en América Latina durante las transiciones a la democracia a partir de la década de 1980 de la historia convencional del derecho penal internacional señala ciertos problemas significativos en la historiografía de la disciplina.
