Launch of the book ‘Legal Responses to Transnational and International Crimes. Towards an Integrative Approach’, followed by a Panel Discussion

This book, co-edited by Prof. Harmen van der Wilt (University of Amsterdam) and Dr. Christophe Paulussen (Senior Researcher at the T.M.C. Asser Instituut), critically reflects on the connection between the ‘core’ crimes of the ICC, such as war crimes, and several newly emerging transnational crimes. During the launch, which is co-organised by the T.M.C. Asser Instituut, the Cassese Initiative and the IHCL Platform, both a more general presentation and a specific case study, on piracy, will be provided. The launch will start with a key-note speech by the President of Eurojust.
