🚨 The IBA War Crimes Committee is urging States to co-sponsor the resolution in the UN #SixthCommittee establishing an Ad Hoc Committee to examine the Draft Articles on the Prevention & Punishment of #CrimesAgainstHumanity. The Draft Articles deserve urgent attention. 🧵👇 
Crimes against humanity remain the only atrocity crimes that lack a comprehensive multilateral convention dedicated expressly to their definition, prevention, & punishment. This impedes accountability efforts, creating real obstacles to multilateral cooperation and prosecution.
We're grateful to join other leading advocacy groups like @GlobalJusticeC in this space. As @akilaGJC & @leilasadat1 argue in @just_security, "States must act now by adopting effective procedures that can move the crimes against humanity project forward."

The War Crimes Committee stands ready to provide expertise & technical advice to an Ad Hoc Committee and/or any State considering the resolution tabled before the UN Sixth Committee. Please reach out to our amazing membership if support could be helpful. ibanet.org/unit/Section+o…
