In what has been described as a “devastating” report, human rights experts and lawyers have investigated and released a 188-page analysis of the ongoing police brutality and killing of Black Americans in the U.S. Their verdict: the country is guilty of “crimes against humanity” and should be prosecuted for its ongoing actions in international criminal court.
Ed Pilkington of The Guardian has reported that, following months of an ongoing investigation, “human rights experts from 11 countries hold the U.S. accountable for what they say is a long history of violations of international law that rise, in some cases, to the level of crimes against humanity.”
The international investigation of police brutality in the U.S. began in the wake of the murder of George Floyd in May 2020.
