Summary
This chapter examines whether the web of corporate criminal liability is effective from the perspective of a national jurisdiction such as the UK, specifically in relation to atrocity crimes such as crimes against humanity and war crimes. The chapter identifies blind spots in the UK's tangled legislative framework, but concludes that realism need not mean pessimism. Powerful remedies do exist, poised to be pursued.
