Accountability for atrocity crimes

The organised violence of war and military occupations entail the potential for great abuses of power against vulnerable populations. GLAN is especially interested in the participation of powerful actors who contribute to the commission of violations of international law for political or economic profit. These include states or corporations in the Global North who act as accessories to violations of human rights and the law of war.
