International Crime

International crime refers to criminal acts that violate international laws and treaties, affecting multiple countries or the international community as a whole. These crimes include serious offenses such as genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity, and terrorism. International crime often transcends national borders, leading to the need for international cooperation in prosecution and enforcement. It is generally addressed by international law and prosecuted by international courts, such as the International Criminal Court (ICC). The framework for defining and prosecuting international crime seeks to uphold justice and accountability for acts that threaten global peace, security, and human rights.
