There is extensive and detailed academic literature on the legal
development of international crimes such as war crimes and crime
against humanity. However, not much attention has been paid to
other serious crimes, including narcotics-related offences, human
trafficking and money laundering, which do not necessarily amount
to international crimes in the traditional sense. The purpose of
this monograph is to fill this gap and offer a critical analysis of
developments in the field of transnational organised crime under
international law. The book is divided into two parts. Part I is
entitled "Norms, Principles, and Concepts." It traces the history
of organised crime and explores key concepts and norms relating to
the practice from a multi-disciplinary perspective. It then looks
at legal obligations imposed upon States as well as non-State
actors in relation to transnational organised crime. Part II
illustrates how these norms, principles and obligations are
translated and enforced in practice. This will be done through case
studies at the level of national law (Thailand, Serbia and the UK),
regional law (European Union) and international law (United
Nations). "A book of many parts, its thematic coherence comes from
its devotion to identifying the social threat posed by organised
crime and the legal steps taken at the international and national
levels against that threat. Rich with example and illustration and
written in a light, direct, style, it will provide a lucid guide
for practitioners, policy-makers and students to the largely
untraversed territory of the international legal system set up to
suppress transnational organised crime." Professor Neil Bolster,
University of Canterbury, New Zealand. "...the international law
governing organized crime is a close relative of the body of law
applicable to the International Criminal Court and similar
institutions. It provides a forum to address issues of more general
concern, such as the scope of universal jurisdiction, immunities,
statutory limitation and extradition. Tom Obokata's study, with its
original and in some ways unique perspective, enriches our
knowledge of the field". Professor William Schabas, Irish Centre
for Human Rights. "The book is well written, its documentation is
quite exhaustive, and its thesis is timely and compelling."
Professor M. Cherif Bassiouni, DePaul University College of Law.
