Would you categorize the atrocity crime discussed in the case study you chose as a crime against humanity, a war crime, or genocide? Explain your answer with examples and by applying the definition of the appropriate term or terms. Write a short paragraph to communicate your findings.
In the case study I chose, the atrocity crime would fall under the category of crimes against humanity. This is because the crime involved widespread and systematic violations of human rights, such as mass killings, forced displacement, and torture, which were committed as part of a government policy. The crime targeted a specific group of people based on their race, religion, or political beliefs, and resulted in grave suffering and harm to the individuals affected. In this case, the crime meets the criteria for crimes against humanity as defined by international law, which prohibits acts committed as part of a widespread or systematic attack directed against any civilian population.
