Overview: 

The journal Global Constitutionalism published an article by Eamon Aloyo in its November 2013 issue entitled, “Improving Global Accountability: The ICC and Nonviolent Crimes Against Humanity.”Aloyo’s article represents the view that some nonviolent harms, whether in a democratic or nondemocratic regime, are never legitimate.

Key Findings: 
  • Individuals who commit nonviolent crimes should be held accountable at the global level.
  • Making precedence of recognizing and prosecuting severe nonviolent crimes will be an essential step for further developing global accountability.
