6.2.1. Article 12(2)(a) and Article 17(1)(a) QD

COMMON ANALYSIS
Last update: June 2022

Article 12(2)(a) QD | Article 17(1)(a) QD

The ground ‘crime against peace’ is not likely to be of relevance in the cases of applicants from Belgravia.

Violations of international humanitarian law by different parties in the current and in past conflicts in Belgravia could amount to war crimes, such as the deliberate and systematic attacks on hospitals, the deliberate indiscriminate attacks on civilians, etc.

Relevant situations include the non-international armed conflict between the Belgravian government and Blestil.

Reported crimes such as assassination, torture and rape by the different actors could amount to crimes against humanity when committed as part of a widespread and systematic attack against the civilian population.

Some acts in the current and past conflicts, such as extrajudicial killings, torture, forced disappearance, could amount to both war crimes and crimes against humanity.
