Stateless Crimes, Legitimacy, And International Criminal Law: The Case Of Organ Trafficking, Leslie Francis, John Francis Oct 2010

Stateless Crimes, Legitimacy, And International Criminal Law: The Case Of Organ Trafficking, Leslie Francis, John Francis

Utah Law Faculty Scholarship

Organ trafficking—coercion for the purpose of removal of organs (United Nations 2000; GTZ 2004)—is recognized as a significant international problem. Yet unlike sex trafficking or trafficking in children, it is largely left out of international criminal law regimes and to some extent of domestic criminal law regimes as well. It does not come within the jurisdiction of the ICC, except in very special cases such as when it is conducted in a manner that conforms to the definitions of genocide or crimes against humanity. Although the United States Code characterizes trafficking as “a transnational crime with national implications,” (22 U.S.C. …

Push The Envelope –Watch It Bend: Removing The Policy Requirement And Extending Crimes Against Humanity, Matt Halling Dec 2009

Push The Envelope –Watch It Bend: Removing The Policy Requirement And Extending Crimes Against Humanity, Matt Halling

Matt Halling

This article argues for amending the Rome Statute to remove the state or organizational policy requirement from the classification of crimes against humanity. After a brief look at the requirement itself, the article presents arguments to show how the policy loophole creates an accountability loophole in international criminal law, and how removing it both resolves inconsistencies in the Rome statute and facilitates prosecutions for international crimes. The article’s final section examines and responds to leading arguments for keeping the policy requirement. The article is intended to show how the policy requirement limits international criminal law’s scope in unwelcome ways and …
