If you take the International Criminal Court's definition, very few nations will qualify for this. Most of the European nations after the Crusades would qualify. Most empires would qualify.

But the victims will probably not qualify.

Quote:
“Crimes against humanity” include any of the following acts committed as part of a widespread or systematic attack directed against any civilian population, with knowledge of the attack:

murder;
extermination;
enslavement;
deportation or forcible transfer of population;
imprisonment;
torture;
rape, sexual slavery, enforced prostitution, forced pregnancy, enforced sterilization, or any other form of sexual violence of comparable gravity;
persecution against an identifiable group on political, racial, national, ethnic, cultural, religious or gender grounds;
enforced disappearance of persons;
the crime of apartheid;
other inhumane acts of a similar character intentionally causing great suffering or serious bodily or mental injury.

the victims likely victimized others, at other times....

Belgians in the congo, Congolese against themselves...
americans vs Native americans, native americans against themselves or even Settelers.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

I'm not surprised at all that an American college student did this. Maybe after 15 years he will lose his entitlement attitude.

I went to the University of CT. When one of the sports teams loses, the students like to riot, flip cars, fight, etc. Well last year the women's basketball team WON the championship. The students still decided to riot and celebrate. One student took down a light post and put it through a large glass window on a building to "celebrate". The kids involved claimed it was their right to celebrate the win... apparently by destroying university property. Never have I encountered such an entitled group of people.
