This timely book explores the prospect of prosecuting corporations
or individuals within the business world for conduct amounting to
international crime. Joanna Kyriakakis surveys the state of the art
in the field, highlighting the case for the international criminal
justice project to engage more fully with the role industry can
play in atrocity. From the post-World War II era to contemporary
international criminal courts and tribunals and the activities of
domestic criminal justice agencies, this book analyses cases and
international law reform efforts aimed at accounting for business
involvement in international crimes. The major debates and ensuing
challenges are examined, arguing that corporate accountability
under international criminal law is crucial in achieving the
objectives of international criminal justice. Students,
practitioners and academics of international criminal law will find
this a beneficial read, particularly through its engagement with
the key contemporary debate around the extension of international
criminal law to business actors. The exploration of how to address
the global governance gap and better account for human rights
abuses in transnational corporate activity will also make this an
invigorating book for business and human rights scholars.
