To do so, international legal sources such as the United Nations practice, case-law of international and hybrid criminal courts and tribunals, and case-law of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights and other human rights bodies are taken into account. Thus, this article analyses how these and other international sources have examined the above-mentioned relationship, i.e., inter alia the similarities and differences between serious human rights abuses and the legal objective and subjective elements of crimes against humanity. Accordingly, it is found that, although some differences exist, the notion of serious human rights violations underlies the legal concept of crimes against humanity. In turn, this is linked to the relationship between those two categories of international law.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="fr"><p><![CDATA[Résumé: Cet article vise à mettre en évidence l&#8217;existence d&#8217;une relation proche entre les notions de violations graves des droits de l&#8217;homme et de crimes contre l&#8217;humanité, et aussi comment cette relation fonctionne en droit international. Sources juridiques internationales comme la pratique des Nations Unies, la jurisprudence des tribunaux pénaux internationaux et hybrides et la jurisprudence de la Cour Interaméricaine des Droits de l&#8217;homme et des autres mécanismes internationaux de protection des droits de l&#8217;homme sont examinées. Ainsi, cet article analyse la façon dont celles-ci et d&#8217;autres sources internationales ont examiné la relation mentionnée ci-dessus, à savoir, entre autres, les similarités et les différences entre les violations graves des droits de l&#8217;homme et les éléments subjectifs et objectifs de crimes contre l&#8217;humanité. Alors, cet article trouve que, bien que quelques différences existent, la notion de violations graves des droits de l&#8217;homme sous-tend la notion juridique de crimes contre l&#8217;humanité. À son tour, cela est lié à la relation entre ces deux catégories de droit international.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="es"><p><![CDATA[Resumen: Este artículo busca demostrar la existencia de una relación cercana entre las nociones de violaciones serias de derechos humanos y crímenes de lesa humanidad, y cómo tal relación opera en el derecho internacional. Fuentes jurídicas internacionales tales como la práctica de Naciones Unidas, jurisprudencia de cortes y tribunales penales internacionales e híbridos, y jurisprudencia de la Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos y de otros órganos internacionales de derechos humanos son examinadas. Por ende, este artículo analiza cómo estas y otras fuentes de derecho internacional han examinado la mencionada relación, es decir, entre otros, semejanzas y diferencias entre serios abusos de derechos humanos y los elementos objetivos y subjetivos de crímenes de lesa humanidad. Se concluye que la noción de violaciones serias de los derechos humanos subyace a la definición de crímenes de lesa humanidad. A su vez, ello se encuentra vinculado a la relación entre esas dos categorías de derecho internacional.]]></p></abstract>
