The Defence of Mistake of Law in International Criminal Law

The adage 'ignorance of the law is no excuse' is significantly inaccurate. Ignorance and mistake of law do, under certain circumstances, exclude responsibility both in national and international criminal law. This monograph updates the existing reviews of law and practice on the topic, aiming to go a step further: it takes the analysis of mistake of law as a starting point for systematic observations about international criminal law in general. First, the volume defines the contours of the defence of mistake of law in general theory of criminal law, distinguishing it from cognate defences and highlighting, most notably, its connection with superior orders. Secondly, it gives an overview of t...

After artist Julia Storey is murdered by a hit and run, her journals reveal a secret life that her husband Nick realizes puts him, his son, sister and parents-away on one of their "trips to nowhere"-in the crosshairs of a vicious killer. Police Detective Sam Oliphant focuses on Nick as the prime suspect. Nick pairs up with Oliphant's reluctant partner, Olivia Barton, Nick's first love, to rescue his parents, now held hostage by cohorts of Lupo, an organized crime boss. Their search leads them through a maze of betrayal and murder, and ultimately to revelations that send shock waves rattling through the Storey family and their construction business.

National Judges and the Case Law of the Court of Justice of the European Union

  • Categories: Law

L’impatto del diritto dell’Unione europea sugli Stati membri si concretizza, in misura determinante, tramite regole e principi dettati dalla Corte di giustizia e destinati a essere applicati dai giudici nazionali. Il buon funzionamento del complesso sistema derivante dall’interazione tra l’ordinamento dell’Unione e i singoli Stati membri presuppone, pertanto, un rapporto costruttivo tra la Corte di giustizia e le corti nazionali. Muovendo da tale premessa, il volume affronta le problematiche inerenti al ‘dialogo’ tra tutte le corti nazionali (di merito, supreme, costituzionali) e la Corte di giustizia. A tal fine sono stati chiamati a esprimersi, prima di tutto, gli stessi giudici che ne sono protagonisti: a questi ultimi è stato chiesto di illustrare, a partire dalla propria esperienza, le difficoltà di comunicazione, in senso ampio, riscontrate nel dialogo con la Corte di giustizia. Alla voce dei giudici si aggiunge, quindi, quella dei professori specializzati nel diritto comparato ed europeo. DOI: 10.13134/979-12-80060-91-4

International Criminal Jurisdiction

  • Categories: Law

"Whose law must I obey? This question is so basic to our legal obligations that it ought to be easy. Specifically, a person considering an action ought to be able to answer this question by the use of law-like rules. This ought to be particularly true of criminal law, which will be the principal focus of this book. Actually, this question is partially unanswerable in the world as it exists today. Whether by accident or design, the current structure and content of law-national and international-sometimes prevents persons (natural or juridical) from being able to answer the question fully at the time of action"--

Cost and Fee Allocation in Civil Procedure

  • Categories: Law

The volume describes and analyzes how the costs of litigation in civil procedure are distributed in key countries around the world. It compares the various approaches, draws general conclusions from that comparison, and presents global trends as well as common problems and solutions. In particular, the book deals with three principal questions: First, who pays for civil litigation costs, i.e., to what extent do losers have to make winners whole? Second, how much money is at stake, i.e., how expensive is civil litigation in the respective jurisdictions? And third, whose money is ultimately spent, i.e., how are civil litigation costs distributed through mechanisms like legal aid, litigation insurance, collective actions, and success oriented fees? Inter alia, the study reveals a general trend towards deregulation of lawyer fees as well as a substantial correlation between the burden of litigation costs and membership of a jurisdiction in the civil and common law families. This study is the result of the XVIIIth World Congress of Comparative Law held under the auspices of the International Academy of Comparative Law.

GIUSTIZIOPOLI PRIMA PARTE

E’ comodo definirsi scrittori da parte di chi non ha arte né parte. I letterati, che non siano poeti, cioè scrittori stringati, si dividono in narratori e saggisti. E’ facile scrivere “C’era una volta….” e parlare di cazzate con nomi di fantasia. In questo modo il successo è assicurato e non hai rompiballe che si sentono diffamati e che ti querelano e che, spesso, sono gli stessi che ti condannano. Meno facile è essere saggisti e scrivere “C’è adesso….” e parlare di cose reali con nomi e cognomi. Impossibile poi è essere saggisti e scrivere delle malefatte dei magistrati e del Potere in generale, che per logica ti perseguitano per farti cessare di scrivere. Devastan...

Transitional Justice in Italy and the Crimes of Fascism and Nazism

It also explores the legal qualification and prosecution of the actions of the Resistance. Particular focus is given to the Togliatti Amnesty, the major turning point, through comparisons to th...
