Corporate Liability and International Criminal Law

‘Dr De Tommaso takes us on a meticulously documented journey from Nuremberg to the ILC’s Draft Articles on Crimes against Humanity. Beyond this fascinating historical perspective, she ventures into new territory by looking at what incorporating corporate liability in the Rome Statute would look like, what provisions would need to be amended, and how. This insightful book pushes the boundaries of both business and human rights and international criminal law and invites reflection on the role of judicial institutions in addressing corporate atrocity crimes’.
