Article 25(3)(c): For the purpose of facilitating the commission of such a crime, aids, abets or otherwise assists in its commission or its attempted commission, including providing the means for its commission

Sorry, but can someone ELI5 this one for me?

"If you help someone commit a crime or try to commit a crime, such as by providing tools or assistance, you can be held responsible for that crime too."

Yeah aiding and abetting is something like: your friend says "I'm going to kill the teacher" and you give him a weapon. You wouldn't be the one killing the teacher, but you facilitated the crime substantially.
