Complicities
This paper analyses a puzzling phenomenon: if, sociologically, the complicity of a range of actors is the necessary condition for the occurrence of large scale wrongs and harms, why is its finding legally so exceptional? To address this, the paper will consider competing accounts of complicity, the value the concept has, and how and why it is deployed. It will draw on examples from large scale harms and wrongs, including genocide, climate change, and the potentially widespread damages from the increasing use of Artificial Intelligence. It concludes by offering an original understanding of the asymmetry between complicity’s everyday ubiquity and its legal exceptionality.
