Crime against humanity

A crime against humanity is a serious violation involving widespread or systematic actions such as murder, torture, enslavement, or persecution targeted at civilians. These atrocities are committed as part of a broader attack on a group based on ethnicity, religion, or political beliefs, and are considered unacceptable by international standards. Such crimes go beyond individual acts, reflecting large-scale violations of human rights, and are prosecuted by international courts to ensure justice and prevent future abuses.
