INTENT TO DO RIGHT? INTERPRETATION OF LAWFULNESS OF ACTION IN CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY ——o— JAVID GADIROV' Crimes against humanity are not organized crime writ large. Using examples of a Nazi official, a communist judge, and a Taliban executioner, this essay shows that such crimes entail a ‘pro’ attitude of perpetrators towards a parochial conception of law and right, and shared social reinterpretation of rightness and lawfulness of their acts. International criminal law dismisses relevance of such reinterpretation and focuses on shared intentions and joint plans of perpetrators. However, there are limits on in what sense an intention or plan may be shared, and disregard of these limits overstretches boundaries of individual liability and may put into question legitimacy of trials. This essay concludes with emphasizing the need for courts to instead engage in social reinterpretation of what is law. INTRODUCTION Interpretation by a perpetrator of the rightfulness and lawfulness of intended acts is a primary feature of crimes against humanity. International criminal law downplays the issue of whether perpetrators of crimes against humanity have an “intent to do wrong” and replaces it with the focus on the shared character of such intention. I argue that perpetrators of such crimes confabulate or interpret their acts as being right or lawful in a special sense, and that such interpretation is among primary motives for commission of crimes against humanity. While the perpetrator’s interpretation of his or her acts as being the right thing to do is associated with the mens rea of crimes against humanity and is a social activity in a broader sense of this word, it does not amount to a shared intention and cannot replace individual foresight. Whereas international criminal law emphasizes shared intent or mutual awareness and commitment of co-perpetrators to account for their multitude and organized commission of such crimes, intention understood as foresight, cannot be shared after being attributed to an agent.
