JCE developed within international  criminal law to address the challenge of attaching liability to  individuals who helped perpetrate or further mass crimes or atrocities,  which often involve numerous perpetrators performing discrete,  interrelated pieces of the larger crime. Responding to concerns about  JCE\u2019s broad scope, the ICTY Trial Chamber in <em>Prosecutor v. Br\u0111anin<\/em> reversed the trend toward interpreting JCE broadly and narrowed JCE to  resemble traditional criminal conspiracy. This undermined JCE\u2019s unique  ability to describe criminal arrangements too complex to at within  traditional theories of criminal liability.<\/p>\n<p>Part I of this Recent Development describes JCE\u2019s origins and elements, providing the background necessary to understand <em>Br\u0111anin<\/em>. Part II discusses Br\u0111anin and explains the Chamber\u2019s controversial position regarding JCE. Part III criticizes the <em>Br\u0111anin<\/em> approach and offers an alternative that would address <em>Br\u0111anin\u2019s<\/em> concerns about JCE\u2019s potentially broad application without sacriacing  the unique ability of JCE to describe mass criminal activity.<\/p>\n<p><em>* This excerpt does not include  citations.
