Fournet & Matwijkiw: Biolaw and International Criminal Law

Caroline Fournet
(Univ. of Groningen - Law) & Anja Matwijkiw (Lund Univ. - Law; Indiana Univ. Northwest - Philosophy) have published Biolaw and International Criminal Law: Towards Interdisciplinary Synergies (Brill | Nijhoff 2021). Here's the abstract:
The originality of this volume lies in the interdisciplinary synergies that emerge through the issues it explores and the approaches it adopts. It offers legal and ethical reflections on the criminal qualification of a series of conducts ranging from human experimentation and non-consensual medical interventions to organ transplant trafficking and marketing of human body parts. It also considers procedural matters, notably related to psychiatric and medical evidence. In so doing, it combines legal and other types of conceptualizations to examine such contemporary issues as rights of the LGBTIQ population, access to medical care, corporate criminal liability, rights of children and Islamic jurisprudence.
