Overview
Passas (Temple U.) presents a reader that draws from international law journals of the past ten years in order to present an overview of the issues of state-related, individual, and corporate crime, as well as attempts to enforce international criminal law. After essays by Richard Falk and others that uses case material such as the first Arabian Gulf War and the scandal of the Bank of Commerce and Credit International to introduce the broad themes of international crime and law, the 16 contributions discuss such topics as rape and sexual abuse as an international crime, state-sponsored internal displacement, proprietary rights in plant genetic resources as a form of "bio- piracy," the international crime of ecocide, the attempt of the United States to justify the Panama invasion as a form of self-defense, and current trends towards criminal prosecution of international criminality.
