Setting It in Stone
Abstract
Is "business as usual" in conflict zones officially a crime? As France’s Court of Cassation prepares to rule on the Lafarge case, the legal focus shifts from the company’s commercial motives to its operational awareness. By prioritizing "knowledge" over "criminal purpose," this landmark decision could dismantle the final legal shield for corporations operating alongside atrocity crimes.
