A crime against humanity is a crime where a serious attack has been operated on many human beings. The dignity of the human beings is attacked where they are humiliated or even killed in large numbers. Crimes against humanity are quite common especially in developing countries where the politics in these countries are not stabilized. Some of the attacks and killings are carried out by the government through agents who are sponsored. The individuals do not identify with the government and it is a bit difficult to know that it was an operation by the government. The attacks and killings may also be organized by some other groups and the government may be against it or tolerate it. For a violation of human dignity to be a crime against human right, it must be systematic or widespread. Some of these violations include: torture, murder, extortion, rape, religious prosecution, political prosecution, etc. The world is responsible for responding in a way that will help the citizens whose dignity have been
exploited and punish those individuals responsible for the criminal acts. Political leaders in a number of countries have practiced the exercise and some have gone away with it. Most of these are dictators and they do not listen to the views of others. They will do anything to remain in their positions therefore avoid prosecution since in most cases they are protected by the constitution when in their positions. The International Criminal Court in Hague can help in bringing justice to those countries where the internal courts and the politicians are reluctant in forming transitional justice organizations such as the Truth and Justice Reconciliation Commission. However, both Hague and the transitional justice organizations have been criticized in their actions and the way that they carry out the cases on crimes against humanity. The paper will seek to analyze the issues surrounding crimes against humanity and the actions of the International Criminal Court and the transitional justice organizations.
