Conference The Borderlands of Criminal Law

Masha Fedorova (professor of criminal law and criminal procedure and one of the leaders of the SteR program Interaction between International and National Law) participated in the first conference organized by The Transnational Criminal Law Review entitled “The Borderlands of Criminal Law” at the University of Windsor.

The Transnational Criminal Law Review (TCLR) is an open access, peer-reviewed journal with specific focus on transnational criminal law. The journal was founded in 2022 by an editorial board comprised of Neil Boister, University of Canterbury (New Zealand), Robert J. Curry, Schulich School of Law, Dalhousie University (Canada), Masha Fedorova, Radboud University (the Netherlands), Sabine Gless, Universität Basel (Switzerland), Cecily Rose, Leiden University (the Netherlands) and Sara Wharton, University of Windsor (Canada). The journal was established with the aim of creating a focal point for a global community of lawyers, policy makers, activists, and scholars who work in and are interested in the field of transnational criminal law. 

In hosting its first conference, the Transnational Criminal Law Review seeks to further that mandate by bringing such interested individuals together in person to promote dialogue, scholarship, and collaboration in the area of transnational criminal law. The conference panels touched upon a variety of themes such as the nature of transnational criminal law, jurisdiction, extradition, corruption, money laundering and corporate accountability, transnational police and judicial cooperation, drug conventions and human rights and human trafficking.
