Resumo: | This article investigates sovereign (in)equality as a phenomenon that is manifested in thedifferent levels of international institutions. The analysis is developed from the process againstOmar Al Bashir, Sudan’s President-in-Office, at the International Criminal Court. Consideringthat norms and rules have a social role in the multiple relations existing between agents andstructures, that is, they transform relations in the international system, the article investigates the dispositions and principles present within the scope of the International Criminal Courtthat authorize a discrimination between States. This distinction implies the imposition ofinternational rules for some actors and the maintenance of certain sovereign prerogativesfor others. More specifically, international criminal justice is characterized by selectivityin judgments, as some countries are given certain authority over the regime. In this sense,it is argued that the sovereign (in)equality that is present in international criminal law issimultaneously a manifestation and condition of possibility for the hierarchy in the social,and therefore institutional normative, and political architecture of the international system.It is argued that the presence of this sovereign (in)equality can be identified at the differentlevels of the institutions of international society, insofar as they influence one another. |

A análise é desenvolvida a partir do estudodo processo contra Omar Al Bashir, presidente em exercício do Sudão, no Tribunal PenalInternacional. Considerando que normas e regras possuem um papel social nas múltiplasrelações existentes em meio a agentes e a estruturas, ou seja, elas transformam as relaçõesno sistema internacional, o artigo investiga as disposições e princípios presentes no âmbitodo Tribunal Penal Internacional, que autorizam uma discriminação entre os Estados. Essadistinção implica a imposição de regras internacionais para alguns atores e a manutençãode certas prerrogativas soberanas para outros. Mais especificamente, a justiça internacionalpenal é caracterizada pela seletividade nos julgamentos, uma vez que é conferida a algunspaíses certa autoridade sobre o regime. Nesse sentido, defende-se que a (des)igualdadesoberana que está presente no direito internacional penal é, simultaneamente, manifestaçãoe condição de possibilidade da hierarquia na arquitetura social, e portanto normativainstitucional, e política do sistema internacional. Argumenta-se, assim, que a presençadessa (des)igualdade soberana pode ser identificada nos diferentes níveis das instituiçõesda sociedade internacional, na medida em que elas influenciam umas às outras.Associação Brasileira de Relações Internacionais (ABRI)2019-05-21info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdftext/htmlhttps://www.cartainternacional.abri.org.br/Carta/article/view/84110.21530/ci.v14n1.2019.841Carta Internacional; Vol. 14 No. 1 (2019): Carta Internacional; 177-201Carta Internacional; Vol. 14 Núm. 1 (2019): Carta Internacional; 177-201Carta Internacional; v. 14 n. 1 (2019): Carta Internacional; 177-2012526-903810.21530/ci.v14n1.2019reponame:Carta Internacional (Belo Horizonte.
