<p>International criminal law has focused on the prosecution of

truly <em>international</em> crimes — genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, and aggression. The emerging field of transnational

criminal law reflects the fact that our post-Cold War, post-9/11 world has seen

the growth of <em>transnational crimes of international

concern</em>, such as terrorism, money laundering, organized crime, and

human and narcotics trafficking, as well as <em>transnational

crimes of domestic concern</em>, which are simply ordinary domestic

crimes that involve the jurisdiction of more than one state.</p>

<p>This book surveys these two related but increasingly

distinct fields with a focus on Canada, bringing together in one accessible

text topics that are of increasing importance in a world of globalized crime,

from a substantive perspective and through examination of the expanding range

of international tribunals dealing with such crimes. This third edition updates

caselaw and international practice from Canada, including substantial revisions

relating to the prosecution of cross-border crimes. It also combines

examinations of international courts and tribunals, transnational criminal law

treaties, and recent literature to provide a unique perspective on these two

international law disciplines that, while best viewed as separate, retain a

common heritage and some overlapping concepts and applications.</p>
