Crímenes de lesa humanidad

"Crímenes de lesa humanidad," or crimes against humanity, refer to serious offenses committed as part of a widespread or systematic attack directed against civilian populations. These crimes include acts such as murder, extermination, enslavement, deportation, torture, and sexual violence. They are considered extremely severe violations of human rights and are prosecutable under international law, regardless of where they occur or who commits them. The concept emphasizes the gravity of such acts and their impact on humanity as a whole, aiming to ensure accountability and prevent future atrocities.
