Abstract
Religious persecution manifests itself in various harmful ways. Traditional intervention
strategies are useful but limited. The article explores the need to reinforce the
combating of religious persecution with the increased use of international justice
mechanisms. In particular, the article studies how the crime against humanity of
persecution can be used to hold religious persecutors accountable under international
criminal law.
