Corruption is a Crime Against Humanity

by Eze Eluchie

It took the testimony of two Bosnian Muslim women (Jadranka Cigelj and Nusreta Sivac – who themselves had been victims of mass rape attacks) for rape to be recognized formally as a weapon of war and a ‘crime against humanity’ and prosecuted by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY)

Large-scale corruption leads to death of millions, exposes innumerable people to rape, extermination, disease and death. What really is the world waiting to recognize large-scale corruption as a ‘crime against humanity’ before the International Criminal Court (ICC)?

In Nigeria and most other African countries, deranged kleptocrats who seize instruments of State authority by all manner of criminal conspiracies continue to plunder their countries wealth, pauperizing millions, raping hundreds of thousands more, turning the dreams of millions into nightmares, and yet the world sits idly bye?

Corruption is indeed a crime against humanity.
