Law Library of Congress Report on Genocide, Crimes Against Humanity, and War Crimes Jurisdiction

The Law Library of Congress's recently compiled report on Genocide, Crimes Against Humanity, and War Crimes Jurisdiction is now available online:

"This chart reports on 149 jurisdictions that have laws punishing at least one of the three crimes, genocide, crimes against humanity, or war crimes. It indicates, where information was available, whether those laws cover only nationals, foreign persons when the offense is committed within the territory, or foreign persons when the offenses are committed outside of the country’s borders. In cases for which it is known that the laws have actually been applied, that information is included in the far right column of the chart."

The Law Library of Congress is the world’s largest law library, with a collection of over 2.65 million volumes from all ages of history and virtually every jurisdiction in the world.
