Hoewel België geen probleemland is met betrekking tot onwettig politioneel geweldgebruik, doen er zich toch ook incidenten voor tijdens politionele interventies. Legitiem geweldgebruik is aan strikte voorwaarden onderworpen. Zowel de preventie als sanctionering van politioneel geweldsgebruik worden kritisch bestudeerd in relatie tot de nationale en internationale regelgeving, met eveneens aandacht voor de rol van externe, onafhankelijke controleorganen. Met de CPS Scriptieprijs bekroont het Centrum voor Politiestudies jaarlijks het beste Nederlandstalige eindwerk, dat een kritische en vernieuwende blik werpt op een onderwerp aangaande politie en samenleving.
The term 'margin of appreciation' has been used for some time to refer to the room for manoeuvre that the Strasbourg institutions are prepared to accord national authorities in fulfilling some of their principal obligations under the European Convention for Human Rights. This document proposes how the meaning of the term may be given greater clarity, coherence and consistency.
From the mid-1990s onwards concerns regarding the exposure of children to harmful content in the increasingly digital media environment intensified. Soon thereafter policy makers across Europe realised that alternative regulatory instruments, such as self- and co-regulation, might be more appropriate than traditional legislation to address this matter of public interest. Taking the complex and delicate nature of protecting minors into account, this book provides an in-depth legal analysis of the alternative regulatory instruments that can be used to regulate content in the digital era, with particular attention to the protection of fundamental rights, such as freedom of expression, privacy and procedural guarantees, internal market regulation, competition rules, and implementation requirements.
The precautionary principle is widely seen as fundamental to successful policies for sustainability. It has been cited in international courts and trade disputes between the USA and the EU, and invoked in a growing range of political debates. Understanding what it can and cannot achieve is therefore crucial. This volume looks back over the last century to examine the role the principle played or could have played, in a range of major and avoidable public disasters. From detailed investigation of how each disaster unfolded, what the impacts were and what measures were adopted, the authors draw lessons and establish criteria that could help to minimise the health and environmental risks of future technological, economic and policy innovations. This is an informative resource for all those from lawyers and policy-makers, to researchers and students needing to understand or apply the principle.
