Abstract

This article studies the legal framework and jurisprudence of the International Criminal Court on transgenerational harm. It has been elaborated through a search, selection, and analysis of this organ's judicial decisions to approach how this form of harm has been addressed to the detriment of potential victims. So far, it seems that this concept is still under legal debate and should be clarified by the Court for its possible application in future cases, leaving open the possibility of recognizing this harm and the subsequent right to reparation for victims affected by crimes judged and sanctioned by the Court.
