> you can definitely capture part of your morals in law, like "don't kill" ah! but you can't! for instance, if someone was about to kill your partner - is it illegal to kill them before they succeed? yes. immoral..? grey. the law is a rough cookie cutter shape that somewhat follows the edge of the fractal-like surface of morality. you can't capture morality in it's entirety into a legal document. > at the time of the Apartheid, unlike during WWII, crimes against humanity were already prosecutable "anywhere on earth". i don't know much about apartheid, but at the time, the SA gov't believed it to be legal (of course). the US didn't recognise it as wrong for a long time (late 80s?), and even then, that doesn't necessarily mean it was recognised as a crime against humanity. and it's hard to see from the article the dates of the specific actions that EFF are complaining about.
