In this age of globalization, multinational corporations have risen to become the dominant actors on the world stage. They increasingly invest in the developing world and, in so doing, sometimes become complicit, financially and otherwise, in genocides that occur in there. While corporations can realize enormous profits from such complicity, they are immune from international prosecution in The Hague. This book proposes new legal pathways to prosecute multinational corporations by creating a framework for international criminal jurisdiction

The Balkan Wars, the Rwanda genocide, and the crimes against humanity in Cambodia and Sierra Leone spurred the creation of international criminal tribunals to bring the perpetrators of unimaginable atrocities to justice. When Richard Goldstone, David Crane, Robert Petit, and Luis Moreno-Ocampo received the call - each set out on a unique quest to build an international criminal tribunal and launch its first prosecutions. Never before have the founding International Prosecutors told the behind-the-scenes stories of their historic journey. With no blueprint and little precedent, each was a path-breaker. This book contains the first-hand accounts of the challenges they faced, the obstacles they overcame, and the successes they achieved in obtaining justice for millions of victims.
