The growth of international law in recent decades has prompted the U.S. Government to evolve in its approach to the development, enforcement, and supervision of the application of federal criminal laws. For example, the Criminal Division of the Department of Justice has created the Office of International Affairs and, more recently, the Human Rights and Special Prosecutions Section. From this vantage point, how has the U.S. government adapted to the increased demands of international legal enforcement? What themes characterize the evolution of, for example, the Criminal Division’s provision of advice and assistance on international criminal matters? And how have these changes affected the U.S. government’s engagement with international enforcement organizations such as Interpol? Members of the U.S. government will share their perspectives.
