International Commission of Jurists - Expert Legal Panel on Corporate Complicity in International Crimes
The ICJ's Expert Legal Panel on Corporate Complicity in International Crimes was established in 2006 to develop the legal and public policy meaning of corporate complicity in the worst violations of international human rights and humanitarian law that amount to international crimes. The Panel brings together renowned lawyers from a variety of legal traditions and disciplines, including: public international law, corporate law, criminal law, environmental law, international humanitarian law, human rights law and labour law.
After eighteen months of work the Panel is now in the final stages of drafting its report which will become public in early 2008. The report will be the first of its kind, clarifying the practical content and limits of complicity - an area of remaining uncertainty and confusion. The Report will bring together law, policy and practice. It will explain when companies could be held legally liable for complicity in gross human rights violations, and will provide guidance as to the kind of situations prudent companies should avoid.
