23 May Punishing Atrocities Symposium: Exploring Joint Criminal Enterprise
[Alexander Greenawalt is a Professor of Law at Pace University School of Law. This post is part of our Punishing Atrocities Symposium.] I am honored to provide this commentary on this terrific new book by Jonathan Hafetz. Let me begin by highlighting some of the things that make this publication a valuable contribution to the literature about International Criminal Law (“ICL”).
