In Katanga and Chui, the Pre-Trial Chamber held that:

"Article 30 of the Statute provides the subjective element of the war crime of article 8(2)(b)(xxi), requiring that the perpetrator has intent and knowledge about the grave acts of humiliation, degradation, or violation of the victim's personal dignity. This subjective element includes, first and foremost, dolus directus of the first degree and dolus directus of the second degree."[1]
