"They explained that the records tell a story of dehumanisation, racism and corruption. So grave is the scale, nature, systematic character, and transnational reach of these atrocities against women and girls, that a number of them may reasonably meet the legal threshold of crimes against humanity, the experts wrote. The UNHRC panel called for an investigation into allegations around Epstein and his associates, who include prominent figures in global politics, business, science and culture."
"All the allegations contained in the Epstein Files' are egregious in nature and require independent, thorough, and impartial investigation, as well as inquiries to determine how such crimes could have taken place for so long, the experts said. The latest condemnation follows the January 30 release of 3.5 million pages of files from the US government's records on Epstein. The files were required to be released as part of the Epstein Files Transparency Act, a bipartisan piece of legislation signed into law in November."
Independent experts appointed by the UN Human Rights Council concluded that abuses carried out by convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein could meet the legal threshold of crimes against humanity. The experts said millions of released government files reveal dehumanisation, racism, corruption, and a transnational, systematic pattern of atrocities against women and girls. The panel called for independent, thorough, impartial investigations into Epstein and associates, including prominent figures across politics, business, science and culture, and inquiries into how such crimes persisted. The January 30 release published 3.5 million pages under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, but the publication has been criticized as incomplete.
