The boundaries between core crimes and transnational crimes are blurring. Should prosecution and trial of transnational crimes be transferred from national to international jurisdictions? Or should criminal law repression in respect of such crimes remain the prerogative of the state? Cutting edge contributions to this book demonstrate that there is no ‘one-size-fits-all’ answer to these questions.Addressing the distinctions and commonalities of transnational and international crimes, eminent contributors discuss the implications of this relationship in the realm of law enforcement. This book critically reflects on the connection between ‘core crimes’ of the International Criminal Court including; war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide, aggression, and several newly emerging transnational crimes. In view of this gradual merger of the categories, one of the major questions is whether the distinction in legal regime is still warranted. Significantly, the human rights consequences of transnational criminal law enforcement are brought to attention in this timely study. Academics and students of law, officials, policy makers and practicing criminal lawyers, will all greatly benefit from the crucial insight into the future of handling transnational crime.Contributors include: I.

'Occupying an important middle ground between international crimes, such as genocide, and so-called ''ordinary'' crimes, like murder and rape, sit the ''transnational crimes'', such as piracy, and cross-border trafficking in persons and prohibited substances. In this splendid book, eminent scholars explore the features and attributes of transnational crimes, their fluid boundaries, and their very raison d'etre within the international legal system.' --William Schabas, Middlesex University London, UK
