Description

Abstract This article considers a theory of crimes against humanity--that is, it attempts to explain the crime's core purpose. The idea offered is that a 'crime against humanity' is a course of conduct which the international community accepts is not only 'criminal', but also threatens world peace. This enlivens the right of international tribunals, such as those created by the Security Council acting under Chapter VII of the UN Charter or the ICC, to try persons irrespective of whether the defendant is a head of state or other state official, any local law or opposition from any state. To keep faith with this core rationale and to permit the crime to keep its special place, a crime against humanity should be limited to flash points of extreme violence which can be linked, either directly or by indirect encouragement, to a state or de facto power.
