metadata.value: The concept the crimes against humanity (CaH) is generally recognized in international law. This is
  due to, among other things, the inclusion of СaH in the statutes of international criminal tribunals and
  the International Criminal Court (ICC). The Rome Statute of the ICC (Art. 7) contains the definition
  of it which fully reflects the customary international law. Confi rmation of general acceptance of the
  criminal nature of the CaH was given by the International Law Commission on the topic “Crimes
  against humanity”. Adoption of (provisionally) the Commission’s defi nition of CaH, the identical Art.
  7 of the Rome Statute (RS), should be evaluated as a confi rmation of the general recognition within
  the meaning of the notion CaH, as expressed in the RS, with regard to both individual offenses and the
  contextual elements. General obligations and requirements for States to punish, prevent and cooperate in
  the investigation and persecution of CaH describe, inter alia, the erga omnes nature of their prohibition,
  according to the Draft . Based on the analysis of recent court practice, the author comes to the following
  conclusions. Among the contextual elements of CaH “direction against the civilian population” should
  be interpreted as actions related to the context of organized violence (not necessarily military), as well
  as ill-treatment. The “civilians” as categories are not completely identical to that in the IHL. CaH are
  crimes under international law, regardless of whether they have been committed in the time of armed
  conflict or not. Widespread attack is associated with mass victimization. The systematic attack is an
  alternative criterion. The criterion of ‘having a plan and policies of the state and the organization’, has no
  independent value, but may prove an organized and systematic nature of the acts. Refs 21.
