Abstract
The United States Department of Justice has a number of international criminal law statutes at its disposal, including statutes penalizing the commission of torture, war crimes, genocide, and the use of child soldiers. The United States has no crimes against humanity statute, however, and rape is not listed as a punishable offense under any of the existing statutes. This group project generated a number of different outputs aimed at improving the ability of the United States to prosecute non-nationals accused of committing rape abroad. This particular paper developed theories for prosecuting acts of extraterritorial rape under existing authorities, with an emphasis on how to prove specific intent.
