The UN experts said crimes outlined in documents released by the US justice department were committed against a backdrop of supremacist beliefs,racism,corruption & extreme misogyny.The crimes,they said, showed a commodification and dehumanisation of women & girls. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Epstein files suggest acts that may amount to crimes against humanity, say UN experts
