1 answer
Under the Rome Statute, the special intent required for the prosecution of crimes against humanity is that the perpetrator committed the acts as part of a widespread or systematic attack directed against any civilian population. This means that the perpetrator knew that their actions were part of a larger plan or policy to target a specific group of people and intended to carry out the attack with this knowledge.
