Course Description:
In our globalized world, a growing number of crimes transcend national boundaries and are perpetrated in a way that violates the laws of or affects more than one state. The objective of this seminar is to introduce students to transnational criminal law and policy as an emerging area of international law that governs and regulates trans-border criminal activities and global procedural mechanisms devised by the United Nations and member states to tackle the problem. This seminar will cover a wide range of topics related to transnational criminal law and policy including but not limited to a select number of transnational crimes (e.g.: corruption, terrorism, drug trafficking, cybercrime, and money laundering), questions of state jurisdiction, and forms of international legal cooperation (mutual legal assistance, extradition, asset recovery). Examples and case studies from national jurisdictions (particularly the United States) will be discussed.
