The UN General Assembly Sixth Committee Second Resumed Session on the Draft Articles on Prevention and Punishment of Crimes against Humanity is scheduled to take place 1-5 and 11 April 2024. Ahead of this session Amnesty International shares a briefing in which the organization submits that there is no prescribed hierarchy between jurisdictional bases when it comes to national prosecutions of crimes against humanity and that a state that has custody over a suspected perpetrator has the primary duty to investigate and potentially prosecute their individual criminal responsibility.
