crime against humanity
grave wrongful act as part of a widespread or systematic attack directed against any civilian population
AI overview
A crime against humanity is a grave wrongful act—such as murder, torture, or forced displacement—committed as part of a widespread or systematic attack against civilians. It matters because it represents some of the most serious harm one group can inflict on another, and the international community has established laws to hold perpetrators accountable for such acts.
