Abstract:

On December 4, 2024, the General Assembly adopted, without a vote, the resolution “Crimes Against Humanity,”[1] to launch the process of codifying into an international binding agreement the International Law Commission’s 2019 draft articles on the prevention and punishment of crimes against humanity. This text reflects two resumed sessions in 2023 and 2024 and formal and informal discussions during the seventy-ninth session.
