From Rome to Kampala : The first 2 amendments to the Rome Statute
The date of 17 July 1998, the day of the adoption of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, will always be marked as one of the major events in the history of international law of the 20th Century. Entered into force on July 1st 2002, the Statute paved the way for the establishment of the first permanent criminal Court in human history. Today, ten years after its entry into force, the Statute has been ratified or acceded by 121 States, additional ratifications or accessions being foreseen in the near future. The First Review Conference held in Kampala from 31 May to 11 June 2010 concluded its work by adopting the two first amendments to the Rome Statute: the first one relating...
Actualités en droit pénal
Le présent ouvrage aborde quatre thématiques à partir de développements récents et d’actualités jurisprudentielles dans le domaine pénal. Damien Vandermeersch fait le point sur l’évolution de la jurisprudence en matière d’admissibilité de la preuve obtenue irrégulièrement, enjeu essentiel de la procédure pénale. À partir de différentes propositions de loi visant à conférer une assise légale à la jurisprudence dite « Antigoon », l’auteur questionne les critères dégagés par la Cour de cassation en se demandant s’il ne faut pas envisager d’autres balises ou moduler davantage les conséquences visant à sanctionner l’irrégularité commise. Sophie Cuykens s...
Cover Up
Cover Up is an in-depth exposé of the botched investigations of five major tragic events of the twentieth century: the death of Princess Diana and Dodi Al Fayed, the death of Pope John Paul I, the death of US politician Ron Brown, the loss of the 101st Airborne, and the assassination of Rwandan President Habyarimana. Author Damien Comerford dives headlong into the stories, bringing to light intriguing details about events leading up to each tragedy and then challenging the methods employed in each investigation. In this book, he shows that while the people in authority appeared to be conducting investigations and leaving no stone unturned, in reality, nothing could be further from the truth...

Saisie et confiscation en matière pénale
La matière des saisies et des confiscations a connu, depuis le début des années 1990, des développements importants dont l’objectif a été d’élargir les possibilités de saisir et de confisquer les profits tirés du crime. Lorsque le mobile principal des auteurs d’une infraction est de réaliser des gains illicites, ces mesures apparaissent comme particulièrement pertinentes et permettent tantôt l’application de sanctions dissuasives, tantôt la protection de la société, ou encore une meilleure indemnisation des victimes. Cette évolution, au départ de la summa divisio entre la mesure provisoire, la saisie, et la peine, la confiscation, a souvent été le résultat d’imp...
Prosecuting International Crimes in Belgium
The past decade has seen intense legislative and judicial activity in Belgium regarding the prosecution of international crimes: a large number of complaints were filed with Belgian courts, which had been granted broad extraterritorial jurisdiction. Insofar as Belgium constituted a sort of laboratory for the implementation of a quasi-absolute universal jurisdiction, the analysis of the `Belgian case` may prove very useful. The evolution of Belgian law over the past decade has been tumultuous. This paper is intended to offer an overview of the different cases brought to court in Belgium, to assess their significance and implications, and to draw a number of conclusions.
Prosecuting and Punishing Multi-Offenders in the EU
This book elaborates on the rules governing the prosecution and sentencing of multi-offenders. The term ‘multi-offender’ is used for an offender that has committed a series of offences (either in one single act or in different acts); hence the addition of ‘multi’ in ‘multi-offender’. A crucial element thereto is that the whole series of offences – which make the offender a multi-offender – has been committed before being subject to a final conviction. A comparative EU-study was conducted, focussing on the rules governing multi-offenders within different EU Member States. It reveals that this type of offenders challenge both the legislator and the prosecution and judges: when ...
