Abstract

The article focuses on Kalika Mehta's examination of corporate criminality through a Third World Approaches to International Law (TWAIL) lens, highlighting the potential of domestic law to hold corporations accountable for international crimes. Mehta critiques the limitations of traditional international criminal law and emphasizes the importance of strategic litigation as a means of addressing structural biases within legal systems. The work also engages with contrasting perspectives within TWAIL scholarship, particularly the debates surrounding its relevance and effectiveness for Global South populations. Ultimately, Mehta advocates for a pragmatic approach that utilizes both domestic and international legal frameworks to foster accountability and political mobilization against corporate complicity in violence.
