I argue that \"complete labelling\" is a related but separate principle which has not received any explicit attention from commentators. Whereas fair labelling focuses, usually, on the protection of defendant's rights, the principle of complete labelling explains and justifies whether the labels attached appropriately represent the nature and scale of the wrong done to the community. As a case study, I apply this lens in the context of regional (U.S./Mexican) criminal justice responses to crimes against humanity perpetrated by \"drug-cartels\" in the context of the Mexican Drug War. Successive administrations in Mexico and the U.S. have tended to charge cartel leaders (and/or their political supporters) with so-called \"transnational crimes\" (for example, drug-trafficking, money-laundering, bribery/corruption). This is despite the fact that many of the most powerful cartels have controlled territory, attacked entire towns, carried out acts of terror, and disappeared thousands of people. The principle of complete labelling is useful in normative terms because it helps in the critical examination of a State's prosecutorial practices, exposing problems that might otherwise be missed. In relation to the case study discussed, for example, a focus on complete labelling helps to expose the regional prosecutorial policy as either an unjustified exercise in selectivity or, at worst, an expression of collective denial. After considering certain counteracting reflexions which speak to some of the foundational anxieties of international criminal justice, the article concludes that domestic prosecutions for crimes against humanity in the context of drug-cartels may, sometimes, be justified.</p>","PeriodicalId":43773,"journal":{"name":"Criminal Law Forum","volume":"32 4","pages":"473-509"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8595055/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39642675","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Government transport authorities publicly admit their failure in disciplining the critical sector. The government was ultimately compelled to enact legislation in 2018 following the deaths of two teenage students who were run over by a bus, which triggered nationwide protests effectively paralysing the transport sector for more than a week. To pacify the agitated students, the government enacted the Road Transport Act 2018 which, for the first time, directly imposes criminal responsibility on transport companies, their owners and officers. This article critically examines that corporate liability provisions (liabilities of the companies, their owners, officers, employees – excluding transport workers) from the perspective of vehicular manslaughter in light of their equivalents in Australia, and with sporadic references to common law principles as relevant to both Bangladesh and Australia which have inherited their legal systems from the British colonial rule. We argue that the new provisions have several flaws including the definition of the offence, defences available, and penalties prescribed – which significantly undermine the utility and effectiveness of the new legislation. We provide specific suggestions for amending these provisions aimed at improving road safety in Bangladesh, however, these considerations may also benefit other jurisdictions.","PeriodicalId":43773,"journal":{"name":"Criminal Law Forum","volume":"2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2020-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138531956","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Such inquiries allow the public to better understand the complexities of a scandal or tragedy, but provide no ultimate accountability when criminal activity is at play. In Canada, the use of public commissions of inquiry to investigate corruption and collusion poses significant legal challenges from a constitutional division of powers perspective (between the federal and provincial levels of government) and with regards to the protection of the rights of the accused under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms . Typically, when criminal conduct is at the heart of the controversy, governments will wait for the completion of all investigations and prosecutions before launching a public inquiry into any remaining matter of public importance. However, the scale of a corruption scandal and the growing public demand for answers may be such that a government is left with no option but to launch a public inquiry immediately, even if there are serious risks of compromising criminal investigations and prosecutions. This paper discusses the legal difficulties associated with the creation and operation of public commission of inquiry into crime, corruption and collusion in particular, and presents a way forward in analysing the various measures that may be adopted at the onset and susbsequently at the operational level to minimize legal risks.","PeriodicalId":43773,"journal":{"name":"Criminal Law Forum","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2020-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138531963","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
