Description
This paper explored how migration and International Criminal Law (ICL) enforcement intersects, focusing on how migrant flows influence domestic prosecutions of international crimes. Migration can bring both victims and suspects of such crimes into new jurisdictions, prompting countries to use "universal jurisdiction" to prosecute serious offenses. The paper also addressed the blending of criminal and immigration law, or “crimmigration,” especially through Article 1F(a) of the Refugee Convention, which excludes suspected criminals from refugee status. It was argued that exclusion, which is based on lower standards of proof, serves as a secondary anti-impunity measure, raising questions about fairness for those with complex roles in conflicts.
