The training school is co-organized by the COST Action on Global Atrocity Justice Constellations (Justice360), the Faculty of Law, University of Zagreb and the Max Planck Institute for Foreign and International Criminal Law.


Description: 

Serious environmental and economic crimes have often been neglected in criminal proceedings and other initiatives that have followed in the wake of conflict. As such, the main constellations of justice that were created after the end of the Cold War focus on so called international core crimes (genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes).

However, recent initiatives both within the International Criminal Court (ICC) and in other institutions have pointed to the need of creating more comprehensive strategies of prosecution that can include other types of crime and can effectively see and prosecute linkages between different forms of criminal activity. For instance, as has been highlighted in scholarship as well as in ICC policy papers, international core crime is often linked to corruption and illegal extractive industries that damage the environment.

Such linkages create new challenges to scholars of internationalized crime. Recent recommendations from the Oslo Outcome Statement on Corruption involving Vast Quantities of Assets (recommendations 46-47, June 14, 2019) call upon experts to conduct analysis and explore ideas that can contribute to address crimes and violations of economic, social and cultural rights. This training school will do exactly that.

By bringing together experts in the field and early career researchers working on different types of internationalized crime, the interactive training programme will introduce cutting-edge scholarship and engage in debate about how to best research emerging linkages between international core crimes, serious environmental and economic crimes.
Young scholars and practitioners alongside (post)gradate students are welcomed.
