Enhancing the Codification of Crimes Against Humanity: A Neutrosophic and Analytical Approach to International Legal Frameworks

Abstract

The present paper investigates the process of codifying crimes against humanity, with a specific focus on the difficulties encountered in achieving regulatory consistency and precision within international legal traditions. Notwithstanding the implementation of the Rome Statute and the endeavors of the International Law Commission (ILC), there are still deficiencies in the codification, namely in the areas of preventing and punishing these offenses. By employing the Neutrosophic Analytic Hierarchy Process (NAHP), Delphi method, and Neutrosophic Cognitive Maps (NCM), this study reveals key elements that impact the codification process. These elements include the necessity for a distinct convention and the sufficiency of current legal norms. Neutrosophic Cognitive Maps provide the visualization of the connections and interdependencies among important elements, therefore providing a deeper comprehension of their influence. An expert consensus highlighted the need for precise definitions, regulatory consistency, and a strong theoretical and legal basis. To enhance accountability and avoid future crimes against humanity, the report asserts that stronger international collaboration and a systematic approach to integrating these elements are essential. Subsequent investigations should prioritize the pragmatic application of suggested standards, comparative examination with other global legal systems, and ongoing expert verification through neutrosophic techniques.
