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.
Soooo we have hope of some sort of international court stepping in and being the adult in the room?
Sure, but the us (and Israel) don’t recognise the international court of justice, despite helping found it, so what are the chances of something coming out of that?
