international crime

Cross-border criminal activity

International crime refers to offenses that cross national borders or violate international law—acts serious enough to concern the global community rather than individual states.

The category includes genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity, and terrorism.

International crime also covers transnational activities like drug trafficking, human trafficking, and money laundering that operate across jurisdictions.

The tribunal was established to prosecute international crimes committed during the conflict.
