Crime against Humanity: A Review

Abstract

Following the emergence of many concepts in the subject of  criminology, criminologists have mostly neglected the most  heinous of crimes, namely, crimes against humanity. Despite  the fact that crime against humanity encompasses rape, murder,  genocide, enslavement, torture, and persecution on political,  racial, and religious grounds, it remains one of criminology's  most overlooked components. State-sponsored crimes have  killed more people than any other crime in the globe throughout  the twentieth century, dating back to World War II and  continuing now. International law dealing with these atrocities  is still in its infancy, and there is a need to look at international  crimes in light of the current machinery. Furthermore, this  essay provides a perspective on how to bridge the gap between  international law and the judicial system by establishing a fair  procedural framework and comprehending the intricacies of  crimes against humanity.
