The
following is Wikipedia's explanation of it:
Crimes against humanity are certain acts that are
purposely committed as part of a widespread or systematic attack directed
against any civilian or an identifiable part of a civilian population. The
first prosecution for crimes against humanity took place at the Nuremberg trials.
Crimes against humanity have since been prosecuted by other international
courts (for example, the International
Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, the International Criminal Tribunal for
Rwanda and the International Criminal Court) as well as
in domestic prosecutions. The law of crimes against humanity has primarily
developed through the evolution of customary international law. Crimes
against humanity are not codified in an international convention, although
there is currently an international effort to establish such a treaty, led by
the Crimes Against Humanity Initiative.
Unlike war crimes,
crimes against humanity can be committed during peace or war.[1] They
are not isolated or sporadic events, but are part either of a government policy
(although the perpetrators need not identify themselves with this policy) or of
a wide practice of atrocities tolerated or condoned by a government or a de facto authority. War crimes, murder, massacres, dehumanization, genocide, ethnic cleansing, deportations, unethical human experimentation, extrajudicial punishments including summary
executions, use of weapons of mass destruction, state terrorism or state sponsoring of terrorism, death squads, kidnappings and forced disappearances, use of child soldiers, unjust
imprisonment, enslavement, torture, rape, political repression, racial discrimination, religious persecution and other human rights abuses may reach the
threshold of crimes against humanity if they are part of a widespread or
systematic practice.

In the case
of Puerto Rico, the United States Government (USG) made sure that the Treaty of
Paris of 1898 contained specific language that made it clear that Puerto Ricans
had no right that the USG had to respect. 121 years later, Puerto Rico is still
a colony of the USG. http://webtv.un.org/watch/5th-meeting-committee-of-24-special-committee-on-decolonization/6051725003001/
The USG
knows perfectly well that it is committing crimes against humanity. It has
violated for the past 75 years the United Nations’ (UN) Charter that prohibits committing
crimes against humanity. It has ignored 38 UN resolutions asking the USG to immediately
return Puerto Rico’s sovereignty to the Puerto Ricans. And it is aware that the
Gallup International Polls repeatedly reveal that the world overwhelmingly considers
the USG as the biggest threat to world peace.
Therefore,
it is incumbent on all people of good to engage in permanent resistance to
force the USG to cease committing crimes against humanity. We must, because
those who commit crimes against humanity don’t believe in LIBERTY AND IN
JUSTICE FOR ALL! https://www.facebook.com/groups/1697349163904877/
There is no
doubt about it!
