Resumen

Los juicios penales internacionales han enfrentado diversos obstáculos a la hora de determinar los hechos con precisión. Algunos de estos obstáculos se derivan de diferencias culturales entre los testigos, que a menudo proceden del Sur Global, y el personal de los tribunales, muchos de los cuales proceden de Occidente. El personal de los tribunales desarrolló estrategias para esclarecer las diferencias culturales; asimismo, los psicólogos, sociólogos y antropólogos del ámbito jurídico se han centrado en estas cuestiones. De hecho, académicos e investigadores han generado una amplia bibliografía que plantea interrogantes, explora y explica las divergencias entre diferentes grupos culturales. Esta sofisticada investigación es bienvenida, y muchos estudiosos de estos campos recomiendan continuar con el estudio para esclarecer y comprender aún más los componentes culturales del testimonio de los testigos en los juicios de derecho penal internacional. Al mismo tiempo, los cambios en el perfil probatorio de muchos juicios por atrocidades masivas han restado influencia al testimonio de los testigos, lo que podría hacer que la comprensión cultural cobrara, en consecuencia, menor relevancia. Sin embargo, en este estudio se defiende que se siga prestando atención a la competencia cultural como medio para aumentar la precisión y la legitimidad de las sentencias dictadas en casos de atrocidades masivas.
