In this article, we critically examine the prevailing justification of international criminal law and defend an alternative approach. We share the prevalent view that a system of such law is both possible and in the process being created. However, we reject the conventional arguments offered in support of this system. Our alternative line of thinking has the consequence that a justiable international criminal law can be much broader in scope that its conventional advocates presume. Our views is that it is permissible to proscute and punish persons under international law when there are sufficiently widespread or systematic violations of basic human rights in a state. The rights violations need not constitute genocide, crimes againts humanity, or any such "supercrime." Instead, the violations may simply be ordinary criminal acts, such as murder or rape, committed in a state that is failing to meet some minimum threshold for proctecting the basic rights of its people.
