Abstract

Scant attention has been paid to the relationship between the perpetration of transnational organized crimes (toc s) and international crimes. This paper endeavours to instigate increased scrutiny of how these two crime sets interact. Relying on contributions from conflict and peace studies, I argue that it is useful to study their interaction within an international-transnational crime complex. To elaborate, I explore four conflicts in which an international-transnational crime complex is evident: Kosovo, Sierra Leone, northern Uganda, and Syria. Taken together, these cases demonstrate that these crimes types are linked irrespective of geographic location or the type of actors involved. The paper subsequently explores legal responses available to actors, including the International Criminal Court and specialized domestic units, which could link the prosecution and prevention of toc s and international crimes. The paper concludes with some reflections on the need to further interrogate—in both legal practice and scholarly work—international-transnational crime complexes.
这场大规模暴行是由象牙贸易带来的:连接跨国有组织和国际犯罪
跨国有组织犯罪与国际犯罪之间的关系一直受到关注。本文试图促使人们对这两种犯罪组合如何相互作用进行更多的审查。根据冲突与和平研究的贡献,我认为研究它们在国际跨国犯罪综合体中的相互作用是有益的。为了详细说明,我探讨了四个国际跨国犯罪情结明显的冲突:科索沃、塞拉利昂、乌干达北部和叙利亚。总之,这些案件表明,无论地理位置或所涉行为者的类型如何,这些犯罪类型都是相互关联的。该文件随后探讨了包括国际刑事法院和国内专门机构在内的行为者可以采取的法律对策,这些对策可以将起诉和预防恐怖主义与国际犯罪联系起来。最后,本文对在法律实践和学术工作中进一步审问国际跨国犯罪集团的必要性进行了一些思考。
