Independent experts appointed by human rights council speak of ‘grave’ nature regarding scale of atrocities against women and girls
Millions of files related to the convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein suggest the existence of a “global criminal enterprise” that carried out acts meeting the legal threshold of crimes against humanity, a panel of independent experts appointed by the United Nations human rights council has said.
The experts said crimes outlined in documents released by the US justice department were committed against a backdrop of supremacist beliefs, racism, corruption and extreme misogyny. The crimes, they said, showed a commodification and dehumanisation of women and girls.
“So grave is the scale, nature, systematic character, and transnational reach of these atrocities against women and girls, that a number of them may reasonably meet the legal threshold of crimes against humanity,” they said in a statement.
Historically, the US Empire has swept this type of shit back under the rug over and over again. I would honestly be surprised if anything happens locally. As I’m sure many of you ae aware and probably tired of hearing, The US was the inspiration for the nazis. From Jim Crow to the Trail of Tears and bounties put on “undesirables.”
These people may be charged abroad, but as we’ve also seen over and over, that doesnt mean much for their class. We can only hope that the empire falls. That is the only way for them to be held accountable
