A critical reflection on the prosecution of Lafarge for terrorism financing and involvement in crimes against humanity
This article unpacks the criminal charges against the French cement company Lafarge for their complicity in crimes against humanity and terrorism financing during the war in Syria.

Through a qualitative analysis of media publications and court records, we recons…
Corporate involvement in atrocity crimes in Ukraine
Since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, corporations have come under scrutiny for their business operations in or with Russia. For many corporations, continuing operations in or with Russia meant a risk to be contributing to the commission of Russian atrocity crimes such as war crimes and crimes against humanity. Based on accusations against corporations for business conduct that can be linked to the commission of atrociti…
Doing Business in Zones of Legal Risk
Involvement of corporations in international crimes and conflict atrocities, such as crimes against humanity, war crimes and genocide, are neither isolated events nor uncommon.

In this context, corporations become compl…

This article traces four trends in the regulation of this phenomenon, from the 1600 s to the present. I argue that the persuasive trend of no regulation of this type of corporate wrongdoing has seen three countertrends: international criminal justice…
Theorizing and Understanding Corporate Involvement in Atrocity Crimes
Corporate involvement in atrocity crimes such as genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes, has become an important topic for ngo s, activists and scholars from different disciplines, often focusing on the important question how to achieve a better regulation of and accountability for corporate roles in atrocities. This contribution, instead, is focused on the aetiology of this phenomenon. A theoretical framework is proposed based on, on t…
The Oven Builders Of The Holocaust
Corporate complicity in international crimes is a largely neglected phenomenon that exists on the border of the criminological study of international crimes and the study of corporate crime. In this article, the German corporation Topf & Söhne is analysed as a case study of corporate involvement in international crimes. Topf built the cremation ovens for various concentration and extermination camps in Nazi Germany. It is clear that existing expl…
