Part II Predicate Offenses
The following sections outline the offences that constitute international crimes, as set out in statutes concerning genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity, and certain human rights instruments. The case law summarized herein describes such predicate offences as they actually or potentially apply to the behaviour of economic actors in repressive or war-torn states. This summary seeks to provide legal clarity to ongoing concerns about the complicity of economic actors in the commission of international crimes, particularly but not limited to those crimes committed in the context of armed conflict.
