This resource aims to provide clear, accessible information about war crimes, crimes against humanity, and how to report them.
A war crime is a serious violation of international humanitarian law (IHL) committed during armed conflicts. These acts breach rules designed to protect civilians, prisoners, wounded soldiers, and other non-combatants, or involve prohibited methods of warfare.
Crimes against humanity are severe offenses committed as part of a widespread or systematic attack directed against any civilian population. Unlike war crimes, these can occur during peace or war and target people based on their identity or beliefs.
warcrimes.observer features artworks of children playing and debating together. Children represent all those who are subject to war crimes and crimes against humanity. When schools, hospitals, and other community facilities are destroyed, so these lives end too.
