it is a crime against humanity if you bother to
interpret the charters of the united nation.

the  individuals are all of us in the developed world.

we failed to push our elected officials to help people who
die because of our consumption and lack of compassion.

more often than not considered a crime in most societies.

I'm no judge so I'm in no position to know what punishment if any is "correct"
according to yours or any other peoples societys norms.

but a fitting punishment would perhaps be
that we all either did away with most of our
overinflated military expenditures (including jobs in the industry)
or had to pay taxes enough to better all  the global evironmental,
healthproblems and social devastation we've created.

history will judge us.

our only punishment will be the shaming and naming
by most generations to come more likely than not.
