Modernising the International Criminal Court: Crimes against the Environment, Trafficking in Human Beings, Hybrid Justice and Corporate Accountability
Description
The International Criminal Court (ICC or Court) must evolve to enhance its legitimacy, efficacy, and ability to tackle the challenges of today’s world. Besides war crimes, genocide, crimes against humanity, and the crime of aggression, we face further atrocities in times of peace due to the environmental and migration crisis, which is closely intertwined with human trafficking; abuses perpetrated and facilitated by corporate actors- that cannot be held to account for atrocities due to the ICC’s personal jurisdiction-; a lack of state cooperation with the ICC, also derived from the misperception of the ICC by certain States as foreign and hostile actor judging other States’ nationals.
