What is a Crime Against Humanity?

Pinky calls up international law expert Peter Weiss (Center for Constitutional Rights) and asks him "What is a Crime Against Humanity?". Other points of discussion include how a crime against humanity is different from a war crime; the 'superior orders' defense; torture; the International Criminal Court (ICC); the importance of ordinary people taking a stand on matters of international law; more!

Wow, it's scary the US unsigned themselves from the ICC in 2002, like they consciously knew what they were going to do in the Iraq War and GITMO.

Systematic torture,but not a singular act,may make the instance.but war crimes do contribute to it.forced pregnancy,rape,systematically sexual slavery,&kidnapping.aparteid.e­tc...are all in the classification of a systematic policy of acceptance and assistance creating a largely oppressive entity.

War itself I say is a crime against humanity, war is murder to be honest,, i dont understand that the excuse comes into existence because of "war" , and "civil" in the context of military/civilians. People are people... i say the mentioned definition is based on placing people into boxes..

[MrSpiritjackal]

Thank you for this video. I understand crimes against humanity better now. Seems like a lot of the other folks who commented on this video missed the point.
