Dean´s Talk: State of Crime, Crimes of States

Dean Christoph Bezemek in discussion with Penny Green from Queen Mary University of London

The main purpose of the state is to protect its people – be it from turmoil on the inside or threats originating on the outside. And yet, the most serious crimes in the modern world, on any reasonable definition, are acts that are largely committed, instigated or condoned by governments and their officials: genocide, war crimes, torture and corruption. What is to be done about these “state crimes”, who is to do it, and based on which mandate and on what standards? To address these and related questions, Christoph Bezemek is thrilled to welcome Penny Green, Co-Director of the International State Crime Initiative, and Dean of Queen Mary University of London, School of Law, in the upcoming Dean’s Talk on 14 June at 6 pm.

Die Diskussion wird in englischer Sprache geführt und findet hybrid statt!
