About this statute

This article states that apartheid is a crime against humanity and covers inhuman acts linked to apartheid and similar racial segregation or discrimination policies. Apartheid is treated as a crime against humanity, and people or organizations accused of it may be tried by a competent State Party tribunal or, if accepted, an International Penal Tribunal. International criminal responsibility applies to certain people and entities if they commit, support, incite, conspire, or directly help the listed acts. States Parties must adopt legal and other measures to suppress apartheid-related conduct and punish offenders, and must also prosecute, bring to trial, and punish persons responsible for or accused of the acts covered by Article 2. People accused of the acts in Article 2 may be tried by a competent court of any State Party, or by the International Criminal Court if it has jurisdiction and the states accept that jurisdiction.
