Question

Which, if any, of the four atrocity crimes would you define as a crime against humanity or a war crime?
rwanda, democratic republic of the congo, sudan, and south sudan.

Answer 1

All four of these countries have experienced atrocity crimes that could be classified as crimes against humanity or war crimes. In Rwanda, the genocide against the Tutsi population in 1994 would be considered a crime against humanity. In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the ongoing conflict and human rights violations, including widespread sexual violence, could be classified as crimes against humanity and war crimes. In Sudan, the genocide in Darfur and other atrocities committed by the government against its own citizens could also be considered crimes against humanity. In South Sudan, the ethnic violence and atrocities committed by various armed groups would also qualify as crimes against humanity and war crimes.
