"Crimes Against Humanity" refer to serious offenses that are committed as part of a widespread or systematic attack against civilians. These crimes include acts like genocide, torture, and enslavement, which are intended to harm large groups of people based on their identity, such as race, ethnicity, or religion. The goal is often to inflict suffering or to destroy a community.
These crimes are recognized under international law and can be prosecuted by courts like the International Criminal Court. The idea is to hold individuals accountable for their actions, ensuring that those who commit such atrocities face justice, and to prevent future violations of human rights.
