The Scope of Public International Law is to Limit Gross Inhumane Violations and Collective Worship and Prevent Their Recurrence

Abstract

This study aims to uncover relatively recent inhuman crimes that did not appear in their current form until after World War II. They were first mentioned in the Nuremberg Principles which defined international crimes such as murder, extermination, slavery, deportation, and any other inhumane acts against civilian populations before and during wars and persecutions based on political, racial or religious reasons when these oppressive acts and persecutions are taken under the crime against peace or a war crime in connection with those acts.

To understand the extent of these gross inhumane violations and prevent their recurrence, it was necessary to examine the agreements, treaties and rules included in international humanitarian law and international human rights law, including the Genocide Convention of 1946, and the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court of 1998, in addition to what was included in the internal legislation and laws to protect their existence and identity as citizens therein, as stated in the Iraqi Supreme Criminal Court Law No. (10) of 2005.

Let us finally clarify the most important results we have reached with a number of appropriate recommendations to combat this crime with the aim of activating the role of the international system in activating the role of the International Criminal Court to carry out its basic duty in applying its rules to individuals regardless of their international status.
