Proposed Crimes Against Humanity Treaty

It is a matter of historical curiosity, and it's time for the UN to reunite genocide with its genus by concluding a parallel treaty.

A successful treaty will prompt States to adopt stronger national laws and cooperate with each other to stop atrocities.

Crimes against humanity is the only international crime not governed by its own treaty. It's time to formally recognize such heinous conduct.

Such a convention could dispel the notion that only genocide deserves international sanction and attention.
