Museum Tusculanum Press Mafia, penge og politik på Sicilien 1950-1994
Book SynopsisThe cover illustration of Mafia: Penge & politik på Sicilien 1950-1994 represents a picture of Antonio Salvo. Salvo was a Mafioso, but he did not traffic in narcotics, he did not run weapons, he did not kill anyone, and he did not take part in the 'ordinary' Mafia activities. Antonio Salvo was a business man, one of the wealthiest business men in Sicily. He took an interest in all important lines of business and had close political connections at the highest levels in Rome. Antonio Salvo represented another, but not less important side of the Mafia. He was a central part of the far-reaching network of economic and political interests that dominated Sicily through decades. All the threads of the network came together in one place: the Mafia.

Brill Organized Crime and International Criminal Law:
Book SynopsisThis book presents the first comprehensive study of international criminal jurisdiction over organized crime. Taking into account a broad range of profit-generating crimes, including human trafficking, migrant smuggling, drug trafficking, and illicit trade in arms and ammunition, Strobel draws a concise picture of who can be prosecuted for what under which circumstances by analysing the current legal framework as defined by the Rome Statute, and by discussing future developments that could further facilitate such prosecutions. Whereas international criminal law in the strict sense has long been considered not to apply to organized crime, Strobel convincingly demonstrates that international criminal prosecutions hold underexploited potential to bring leaders of cartels and trafficking rings to justice.Table of ContentsAbbreviations Table of Treaties, Resolutions and Other Legal Documents Table of Cases 1 Introduction 2 The Status Quo of Organized Crime in International Criminal Law 2.1 Organized Crime 2.1.1 Legal Definition of Organized Crime 2.1.2 Relevant Crimes 2.1.2.1 Drug Trafficking 2.1.2.2 Trafficking in Persons and Subsequent Exploitation 2.1.2.3 Migrant Smuggling 2.1.2.4 Illicit Trade in Arms and Ammunition, Natural Resources, and Cultural Goods 2.1.2.5 Corruption 2.1.2.6 Money Laundering 2.1.2.7 Organized Crime-Related Violence 2.1.3 Types of Organizations 2.1.3.1 Hierarchical Organized Criminal Groups 2.1.3.2 Criminal Networks 2.1.4 Geographic Scope 2.1.5 Impact of Organized Crime 2.2 Organized Crime in Transnational Criminal Law 2.2.1 The Current Role of International Law in Combating Organized Crime 2.2.2 Transnational Criminal Law Conventions 2.2.2.1 The UN Convention against Transnational Organized Crime and the Protocols Thereto 2.2.2.2 International Drug Control Conventions 2.2.2.3 Conventions against Corruption 2.2.2.4 Provisions on Money Laundering and Related Instruments 2.2.2.5 Other Transnational Criminal Law 2.2.3 Other Relevant International Conventions 2.2.4 Regional Criminal Law 2.2.5 The International Enforcement Regime 2.3 Organized Crime in International Criminal Law Stricto Sensu 2.3.1 The Evolution of International Criminal Law Stricto Sensu 2.3.2 The Relevance of International Criminal Law Stricto Sensu to Organized Crime 2.3.2.1 The Telos of International Criminal Law 2.3.2.2 Empirical Interconnection: The Crime–Conflict Nexus 2.3.3 Organized Crime in the History of International Criminal Law Stricto Sensu 2.3.3.1 Organized Crime Offenses in International Criminal Tribunals 2.3.3.2 Organized Crime Offenses and the Making of the Rome Statute 2.4 Assessment 3 Organized Crime under the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court 3.1 Procedural Requirements for Jurisdiction 3.1.1 Trigger Mechanisms 3.1.2 Preconditions to the Exercise of Jurisdiction 3.1.3 The Principle of Complementarity 3.2 Substantive Law: Jurisdiction Ratione Materiae 3.2.1 The Crime of Genocide 3.2.1.1 Mental Element: The Dolus Specialis of Genocide 3.2.1.2 Material Elements 3.2.1.3 Summary 3.2.2 Crimes against Humanity 3.2.2.1 Contextual Elements 3.2.2.2 Material Elements: Individual Acts 3.2.2.3 Summary 3.2.3 War Crimes 3.2.3.1 Contextual Elements 3.2.3.2 Material Elements 3.2.3.3 Summary 3.3 Substantive Law: Attribution of a Crime 3.3.1 Perpetration 3.3.2 Participation 3.3.3 Superior Responsibility 3.4 Assessment 4 Organized Crime and International Criminal Law De Lege Ferenda 4.1 Potential Developments Within the Current Jurisdictional Framework 4.1.1 Mental Elements 4.1.1.1 Dolus Eventualis 4.1.1.2 The Dolus Specialis Requirement for Pillage 4.1.2 Material Elements: Trafficking in Persons and Enslavement 4.2 Expanded Jurisdiction Ratione Materiae 4.2.1 Criteria for the Introduction of New Offenses 4.2.2 Common Contextual Elements 4.2.3 Potential Offenses and Their Material Elements 4.2.3.1 The Crime of Drug Trafficking 4.2.3.2 Illicit Trade in Arms and Ammunition, Natural Resources, and Cultural Goods 4.2.3.3 The Crime of Migrant Smuggling 4.2.3.4 Corruption 4.2.3.5 Money Laundering 4.2.4 Summary 4.3 An International Tribunal Focused on Organized Crime 4.3.1 Procedural Requirements for Jurisdiction 4.3.2 Jurisdiction Ratione Materiae 4.3.3 Organizational Setup 4.4 Assessment 5 Conclusion References Index

Springer Verlag, Singapore Disaster and Human Trafficking
Book SynopsisThe book highlights the root cause of human trafficking and analyses how factors of vulnerability affect the marginalized, especially during and after a disaster. Human trafficking like other studies on disaster research, needs to be tackled from various perspectives such as empowering the vulnerable people, creating awareness, strengthening the disaster risk reduction measures and creating a common platform to fight the vicious circle by breaking its continuity and making strategies victim centric and people friendly.The book adapts a multidisciplinary approach embedding concepts from political, social, economic and anthropological perceptions. The discourse in the book revolves around the emotional and psycho-social stress factors including weak implementation of laws and policies at various levels. The content weaves around three themes -- magnitude and interlinks between disaster and human trafficking; policies and protocols on disaster risk reduction and human trafficking and community participation and institutional support. Through these themes, the volume works on identification of the vulnerable areas which are not in compliance with the Sendai Framework of Action, 2015 in the backdrop of the Disaster Management Act of India, 2005. The volume will be of immense interest to a wide range of practitioners, researchers, academicians, policy makers, political leaders, gender experts, international organizations, disaster management authorities, civil society organisations, and scholars working in the area of human rights in general and trafficking in particular. Note: This research was funded by Indian Council of Social Science Research (ICSSR).Human Trafficking is complex, layered and lies at the intersections of multiple vulnerabilities, gender being among the most significant ones. This gets exacerbated during both natural and human made disasters. Any attempt to either understand or address it will be fraught with challenges if women and girls' unique vulnerabilities, as well as their needs, voice, choice, agency and safety is not centre-staged in any effort. Mondira's book does exactly that...it succinctly and in simple words explores the compounding discriminations, including structural inequalities, that cause and result in women and girls differential gendered vulnerabilities to being trafficked during disasters. Once this is understood, the solutions can be specific, gender responsive, and sustainable.- Anju Dubey Pandey, Gender Responsive Governance and Ending Violence against Women Specialist, UN Women, New Delhi, IndiaTable of ContentsCHAPTER I: IntroductionContext Interlinks between Disaster and Human Trafficking Policies and Protocols on DRR and Human Trafficking Community Participation and Institutional Support Scope & Methodology CHAPTER II: Links Between Disaster and Human Trafficking Disaster and Human Trafficking – A Perception Disaster Management Act, 2005 Sendai Framework of Action and Sustainable Development Goals Crime Against Women and Human Trafficking Trafficking in Persons- The Vulnerable Areas CHAPTER III: Role of NGOs and Community Participation Significance of Community Participation Community Based Preventive Measures Awareness and Sensitization Networking, Advocacy & Media Training & Capacity Building Vigilance, Prosecution & Conviction Information, Education & Communication (IEC) Materials CHAPTER IV: Protocols, Policies and Role of Civil Society Organizations The Legal Framework International Protocols Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Regional Policies Civil Society Organizations CHAPTER V: Institutional Mechanisms, Gaps and Challenges Background State Machinery Non-Governmental Organisation Challenges and Opportunities CHAPTER VI: Conclusion ANNEXURES I Advisory from Home Ministry, GOI II Advisory of Ministry of Home Affairs, 2012 III TIP Report 2019: Country Narrative (India) IV Disaster Risk Reduction and Resilience Building in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development UNISDR
