This paper deals with the crimes of “forced pregnancy“ and “forced marriage“, in light of the Prosecutor vs. Ongwen before the International Criminal Court. In this sense, this sentence sanctions, for the first time, for forced pregnancy as a crime against humanity and war, in addition to identifying the sanction of forced marriage as a crime against humanity, through the residual clause “another inhuman act ” (7.1.k of the Rome Statute). Given this, we maintain that, although the sentence of guilt is important for the purposes of accountability and justice towards thousands of victims, we consider that the Trial Chamber does not develop the protected legal interest on “reproductive autonomy“, this due to the implications of its recognition and exercise of the same, by virtue of international human rights instruments, mainly article 16 of the CEDAW. On the other hand, we consider that with the sanction for “forced pregnancy”, by means of “another inhuman act” (7.1.k of the Rome Statute), a new crime independent of the list contemplated in article 7.1 of the Statute is recognized. of Rome, which allows addressing the protected legal right of “marital autonomy“. Therefore, in the first part of the work, the crimes of sexual and reproductive violence are addressed historically and conceptually. Next, the crimes of forced pregnancy and forced marriage are developed, based on the sentence of the Ongwen case. Finally, given the current status of the appeal process of the case, we address four amicus curiae, which allow us to support our position
