National courts, such as those in Spain, play an increasingly strong role in combating impunity through the exercise of universal jurisdiction. The rise of these types of prosecutions has in turn motivated countries, including Argentina and Chile, to repeal their amnesty laws so that suspected war criminals can be prosecuted at home.
国家法院，如西班牙的法院，通过行使普遍司法权，在打击有罪不罚方面正发挥着日益强大的作用。此类起诉的出现，也促使了阿根廷和智利等国家废除了他们的大赦法，以使战犯嫌疑人可以在国内受到起诉。对斯洛博丹·米洛舍维奇和查尔斯·泰勒的审判说明了，即使国家元首也不再可以被免予起诉。更广泛的起诉方式让犯下这些罪行的罪犯越来越感到不安。
