Serious economic crimes and violations of economic,
social and cultural rights have often been neglected in criminal proceedings and
reports of truth commissions that have followed in the wake of economic transitions
or conflicts. Although such economic crimes often result in a substantial loss of
wealth to the overall economy and society of the country in question, they have not
been widely nor effectively prosecuted. The Balkan region is no exception to this
rule.

The study connects international criminal law with discourses of international human
rights law, security studies, (supranational) criminology, political sciences,
transitional justice and (economic) criminal law in order to find arguments as to why
it is necessary to start prosecuting serious (transitional) economic offences as
crimes under international law and why they should find their place in the ICC
Statute. The research explains why Art. 7(1)(k) of the ICC Statute is the most
plausible means to do so without violating the principle of legality.

A very valuable scientific work on a highly innovative topic. [It] offers a new
theoretic frame in which international economic crimes committed as crimes of the
powerful by private corporate economic actors can be related to mechanisms to prevent
and punish impunity, such as the ICC. Prof. Dr. John A.E. Vervaele, Utrecht Law
School, President of AIDP

A serious and thought-provoking study. The topic is of great importance. I could not
agree more with the conclusion that the time has come to consider some of the most
serious, systematic and widespread economic crimes, breaching economic, social and
cultural rights, as crimes under international law. Prof. Dr. Ksenija Turkovic,
Judge, European Court of Human Rights, Strasbourg

A very courageous and intelligent piece of work. Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. Walter Perron,
Albert Ludwigs University, Freiburg i.Br.
