War Crimes Investigation

A war crimes investigation is a process that examines whether individuals or groups have committed serious violations of international laws during conflict, such as targeting civilians, using banned weapons, or committing torture. It involves gathering evidence, interviewing witnesses, and analyzing actions to determine accountability. The goal is to ensure justice for victims, uphold human rights, and maintain international law’s integrity. Such investigations can be conducted by international bodies like the International Criminal Court or national authorities, aiming to hold perpetrators responsible and prevent future atrocities.
