Abstract

The importance of this research comes is that it deals with the issue of crimes against humanity committed during the Arab revolutions. This issue is still one of the most important contemporary issues that trouble the international community. The Arabs have suffered and are still suffering from the heinous crimes that were and are being committed during the Arab revolutions. Those responsible for committing such crimes continue to enjoy freedom and life and escape punishment and responsibility, despite all attempts by the international criminal justice to hold them accountable. The study relied on the analytical method by using the legal texts that enrich the study through its analysis, and using the comparative method to compare these texts with each other and reach the extent of the effectiveness of these texts in holding accountable the perpetrators of crimes against humanity during the Arab revolutions. The study came to the following conclusions: the lack of interest of the international community in crimes against humanity and the establishment of international courts is the prevention of crimes against humanity and a means of maintaining international peace and security, and the international community adopts a selective policy in the application of the rules of international legitimacy in combating crimes against humanity.
