The lecture traces the development of international efforts toward a Crimes Against Humanity convention, including key doctrinal issues, policy rationales for a dedicated treaty instrument, the implications of draft article formulations, and how those proposals interact with existing international criminal law frameworks such as the Rome Statute. It will highlight ongoing debates about substantive definitions, state obligations, jurisdictional bases, and mechanisms for cooperation and enforcement.
