THE ICC AS A NEW INSTRUMENT FOR REPRESSING TERRORISM received the 2004 Honorable Mention Award of ASIL's Francis Lieber Society. Its author, Roberta Arnold, received the Walther Hug Prize for being one of the top Swiss PhDs in 2004. This insightful work analyzes the deficiencies of the existing counter-terrorism framework and assesses whether acts commonly referred to as "terrorism" are actually war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide, and aggression, thereby falling within the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court. Following a discussion of the international law definition of terrorism, in particular the anti-terrorism conventions and international humanitarian law, the author sets about constructing her own working definition of terrorism. Strengths and weaknesses of the principal international anti-terrorism conventions are examined in the first part of this book. The second section discusses whether so-called acts of terrorism may constitute war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide, and aggression, both under traditional international law and under the ICC Statute. The viability of resorting to the ICC as an effective instrument for a comprehensive repression of terrorism is addressed in the third section. Published under the Transnational Publishers imprint.

This book is concerned with the commercial exploitation of armed conflict; it is about money, war, atrocities and economic actors, about the connections between them, and about responsibility. It aims to clarify the legal framework that defines these connections and gives rise to criminal or, in some instances, civil responsibility, referring both to mechanisms for international criminal justice, such as the International Criminal Court, and domestic systems. It considers which economic actors among individuals, businesses, governments and States should be held accountable and before which forum. Additionally, it addresses the question of how to recover illegally acquired profits and redirect them to benefit the victims of war. The chapters shine a critical light on the options provided by a network of laws to ensure that the 'great industrialists' of our time, who find economic opportunities in the war-ravaged lives of others, are unable to pursue those opportunities with impunity.
