International Crime

International crime refers to criminal acts that violate international laws and treaties, often transcending national borders. These crimes typically include offenses that pose a significant threat to the global community and involve multiple countries. Common examples of international crimes are genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity, human trafficking, terrorism, and drug trafficking. The prosecution of international crimes often falls under the jurisdiction of international tribunals or courts, such as the International Criminal Court (ICC). The framework for addressing international crime is established through various treaties, conventions, and customary international law, aimed at promoting justice, accountability, and the rule of law across nations. International crimes can be perpetrated by individuals, groups, or states, and addressing them often requires cooperation between nations to ensure that offenders are brought to justice and that victims receive support and protection.
