For a crime to be international crime it must be:
· Internationally recognized as a crime
· Defined as a crime by the international community

A crime committed outside a national jurisdiction is one that takes place outside any nations laws. Piracy and aircraft hijacking are such crimes because they take place in international waters and in airspace, and are not under the jurisdiction of any one nation.

When a Transnational crime is committed, it means that the person committing the crime is responsible for it in many states. The drug trade is an example of this.

Crimes against the international community are crimes that the international community as a whole, deem as wrong. These crimes include genocide, war crimes, apartheid, and slavery. A majority acceptance by the world community of what is acceptable and what is not.

GOOD LUCK :)
