ABSTRACT
The South African legal scholar Neil Boister first popularised the term ‘transnational criminal law’ in the early 2000s, in an attempt to capture various and increasingly frequent international agreements. These agreements relied on the criminal law apparatuses of nation states to suppress ‘criminal activities that have actual or potential trans-boundary effects’.1 Boister’s original definition
