"This book is concerned with the commercial exploitation of armed conflict. It is about money, war, atrocities and economic actors, about the connections between them, and about responsibility. The key words are 'connections' and 'responsibility'. What sort of legal framework defines these connections and gives rise to criminal responsibility? Which economic actors among individuals, businesses, governments and States are accountable? What is the appropriate forum for accountability? How can the profits of war be recovered and redirected to benefit the victims of war?"--
