Retraction Notice: ‘Individual Criminal Responsibility for the Financing of Entities Involved in Core Crimes: Aiding and Abetting’

Abstract

We, the Editors and Publishers of The Comparative and International Law Journal of Southern Africa, have retracted the following article:

Laura Ausserladscheider Jonas and Dire Tladi, ‘Individual Criminal Responsibility for the Financing of Entities Involved in Core Crimes: Aiding and Abetting’ 54(1) 2021
Comparative and International Law Journal of Southern Africa <https://doi.org/10.25159/2522-3062/8604>

Following its publication, it was brought to our attention that this article contains significant overlap, in the form of continuous paragraphs and their accompanying footnotes, with the following chapter:

Manuel J. Venturas, ‘Aiding and Abetting’ in Jérôme de Hemptinne, Robert Roth, Elies van Sliedregt, Marjolein Cupido, Manuel J. Ventura and Lachezar Yanev (eds), Modes of Liability in International Criminal Law (Cambridge University Press, 2019) <https://doi.org/10.1017/9781108678957.007> The journal article ‘Individual Criminal Responsibility’ reproduced significant parts of the chapter in Modes of Liability without appropriate attributions or citations.

The second author, Dire Tladi, has requested to be dissociated from the publication.

We have been informed in our decision-making by our policy on publishing ethics and integrity and the COPE guidelines on retractions. The cover page only of the retracted article will remain online to maintain the scholarly record, but it will be digitally watermarked as “Retracted.”
