True or False: Universal jurisdiction is defined as the legal doctrine that all crimes are so grave that any/all states may prosecute individuals allegedly perpetrating these crimes, irrespective of the existence of any connection to the state seeking to prosecute.

True. Universal jurisdiction is a legal doctrine that allows any state to prosecute individuals for certain crimes, such as war crimes, crimes against humanity, or genocide, regardless of their nationality or the location of the crime. This means that states can prosecute individuals even if there is no direct connection or territorial link to the state seeking to prosecute.
