Abstract
Este artículo demuestra que la prisión preventiva oficiosa (PPO) vigente en México, al imponerse de manera automática y masiva, satisface los elementos objetivo, contextual y subjetivo del crimen de lesa humanidad previsto en el artículo 7.1 e) del Estatuto de Roma. Tras analizar la jurisprudencia de la Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos, el bloque de convencionalidad y la doctrina de la Suprema Corte de Justicia de la Nación, se concluye que la PPO es una privación arbitraria de la libertad que forma parte de una política estatal sistemática. Asimismo, se establece que los jueces mexicanos, al conocer la ilicitud internacional de la PPO y mantenerla, podrían incurrir en responsabilidad penal individual ante la Corte Penal Internacional. Finalmente, se proponen reformas constitucionales, legales y administrativas para armonizar el sistema procesal con los estándares internacionales y evitar la apertura de una investigación en La Haya.

This article demonstrates that Mexico’s automatic pre-trial detention regime—known as prisión preventiva oficiosa (ppo)—meets the objective, contextual and subjective elements of the crime against humanity of “imprisonment or other severe deprivation of physical liberty” under Article “7.1 (e)” of the Rome Statute. By examining Inter-American Court of Human Rights case-law, Mexico’s conventionality control doctrine and Supreme Court jurisprudence, the study finds that ppo constitutes an arbitrary deprivation of liberty embedded in a systematic State policy. The article closes with a set of constitutional, legislative and administrative reforms designed to realign Mexico’s procedural system with international standards and avert the opening of an icc preliminary examination.
