Major construction/edit just completed

[edit]

This article was flagged as needing attention from an expert in international law. I hold this expertise so I've just made major edits adding more depth, citations, and accuracy to the article. Here's a summary of my edits:

  1. Addressed the confusion/time-sensitive ambiguity around crimes of aggression. Despite being included in the ICC's jurisdiction, they are not mass atrocity crimes because it is a violation of state sovereignty rather than against individuals.
  2. Added ethnic cleansing which major INGOs, scholars, and UN documents have recognized as a mass atrocity crime.
  3. Added citations to verify information.
  4. Added general information on how the crimes are related and distinguishable.
  5. Added minor historic development of legal definition.

Mass atrocity crimesAtrocity crime – Current name is less common than its more WP:CONCISE synonym per NGRAMS (even subtracting the results for the longer string). In addition, the term "mass atrocity crime" has the potential to mislead our readers. War crime does not require mass atrocity since murdering a single person could be a war crime.
