SUMMARY:The business link to international crime: individual and state li
 ability under the arms sales treaty\, the Palermo Convention on the fina
 ncing of terrorism activities\, and international criminal law
DESCRIPTION:From the trafficking of persons to the illicit sale of counte
 rfeits\, drugs\, weapons and antiquities\, data demonstrates a nexus bet
 ween transnational organised crime and core international crimes (ie\, w
 ar crimes\, crimes against humanity and genocide)\, as well as terrorism
  activities. Indeed\, perpetrators of international crimes and terrorist
 s alike often rely on the profits of transnational organised crime to fu
 nd and sustain their criminal activity. A plethora of international inst
 ruments\, from treaties and conventions to United Nations Security Counc
 il Resolutions\, have increasingly been impugned by the international co
 mmunity to combat this 'business link' to international criminal conduct
 . In the course of this discussion\, participants will investigate state
 s' obligations under international law to prevent\, suppress and punish 
 international wrongful conduct connected with business activities within
  their jurisdiction\, as well as under what instruments of international
  law states\, individuals and corporations alike might be directly or in
 directly liable for international crimes in connection with this 'busine
 ss link'.
