SUMMARY:Crimes against humanity: the idea whose time has come
DESCRIPTION:The 6th Committee of The United Nations in late 2024 released
  the draft treaty relating to crimes against humanity. The proposed draf
 t fills a gap in international law where certain crimes have not been co
 vered because they were limited to certain contexts\, such a crime commi
 tted during war. As a stand-alone treaty\, it would aggregate in one pla
 ce defined crimes\, including murder\, torture\, slavery\, rape and sexu
 al violence\, targeted persecutions of particular groups\, enforced disa
 ppearance and apartheid. In the case of apartheid\, there is a movement 
 to broaden the definition beyond race to include gender. The convention 
 would obligate national governments to ensure investigation and prosecut
 ion\, including even of their own acts. The negotiation process will pro
 vide an opportunity for national bars around the world to engage with th
 eir governments to advocate positions on the details\, scope and remedie
 s. The International Bar Association's Bar Issues Commission has made th
 is a priority for the next two years. The program will be of interest to
  all attorneys and bars\, as the convention addresses the most fundament
 al of human rights issues that all bars are concerned with.
