Where there is no law, there can be no crimes. The first question, therefore, is: Are there any international crimes? And the answer is No--for several reasons. In the first place, there is no body of international law explaining what is meant by international crimes. Secondly, national laws are only useful within a particular country, However, efforts have been made to have certain actions internationally recognized as crimes. It has been accepted by the countries which have joined Interpol ( 国际刑警组织) that any crime which has an international effect should be considered an international crime. This can be shown clearly by a recent case in India. An Englishman, pretending that he was a reporter of a leading British daily, canto to India. He showed great interest in the jewelry markets of Delhi and later bought a very expensive gold watch and a couple of gold rings. One shopkeeper, eager to sell his jewellery, willingly made a deal with him for 22,000 rupees; the only difficulty was the way of payment. The foreigner gave two cheques drawn on the Bangkok branch of the Bank of America, which the shopkeeper accepted, admiring the customer's wealth. The foreigner had, however, given worthless cheques and lost no time in leaving the country with his precious possessions. The cheques were refused by the bank. The shopkeeper went to the Indian office of Interpol. Interpol. Delhi, on request from the police, quickly got in touch with Interpol, London, and learnt that the international criminal had been caught there for crimes of stealing as well as for giving valueless cheques. It came to light that he had been related to 27 similar crimes, Interpol asked Britain to send him to Delhi and he was then put into prison and fined 2,000 rupees.
