Resumo: This work discusses the historical role of intellectuals in politics based on the analysis of the trajectory of the International War Crimes Tribunal, later known as Russell Tribunal, created to judge crimes against humanity committed by north-american imperialism in Vietnam War. We seek to discern the importance of intellectuals in the tableau of international power, in order to identify their role as a social group that raises his voice, mainly against the crimes of silence. In other words, we conceive the intellectual not as a person who merely produces knowledge, but as one who denounces the injustices happening in the world, especially those who do not find a real punishment. Therefore, the Russell Tribunal reiterates and updates the value assumed by the identity category of intellectuals in contemporary societies since the “Affaire Dreyfus”, which occurred in France in the late nineteenth century, to the present day. This symbolic demarcation is here investigated, indeed, by understanding the meanings and possibilities of the discourse of intellectuals who were involved in the international debate established and encouraged by the Russell Tribunal
