Human Rights and Personal Self-defense in International Law
While an abundance of literature covers the right of states to defend themselves against external aggression, this is the first book dedicated to the right to personal self-defense in international law. Dr. Hessbruegge sets out in careful detail the strict requirements that human rights impose on defensive force by law enforcement authorities, especially police killings in self-defense. The book also discusses the exceptional application of the right to personal self-defense in military-led operations, notably to contain violent civilians who do not directly participate in hostilities. The author establishes that international law gives individuals the right to forcibly resist human rights violations that pose a serious risk of significant and irreparable harm. At the same time, he calls into question prevailing state practice, which fails to recognize any collective right to organized armed resistance even when it constitutes the last resort to defend against genocide or other mass atrocities.
Regulation Strategies in the European Economic Area
Hauptbeschreibung Regulation is one of the intensely debated big issues in developed market economies in general and within the European Economic Area in particular. To which extent regulation is reasonable and legitimate in the context of the European market economy and whether existing regulation is supported by strategies in the European Economic Area is the topic of this volume. Its eight contributions analyse three types of issues: the general role of regulation in the European Economic Area, the assessment of specific areas of European regulation (securities, consumer protection, anti-discrimination, environment protection), and criminal law as a new frontier in European regulation.
The Handbook of Comparative Criminal Law
This handbook explores criminal law systems from around the world, with the express aim of stimulating comparison and discussion. General principles of criminal liability receive prominent coverage in each essay—including discussions of rationales for punishment, the role and design of criminal codes, the general structure of criminal liability, accounts of mens rea, and the rights that criminal law is designed to protect—before the authors turn to more specific offenses like homicide, theft, sexual offenses, victimless crimes, and terrorism. This key reference covers all of the world's major legal systems—common, civil, Asian, and Islamic law traditions—with essays on sixteen countries on six different continents. The introduction places each country within traditional distinctions among legal systems and explores noteworthy similarities and differences among the countries covered, providing an ideal entry into the fascinating range of criminal law systems in use the world over.
The Oxford Handbook of Criminal Law
Providing scholars with a comprehensive international resource, a common point of entry into cutting edge contemporary research and a snapshot of the state and scope of the field, The Oxford Handbook of Criminal Law takes a broad approach to its subject matter - disciplinarily, geographically, and systematically.
The Western Codification of Criminal Law
This volume addresses an important historiographical gap by assessing the respective contributions of tradition and foreign influences to the 19th century codification of criminal law. More specifically, it focuses on the extent of French influence – among others – in European and American civil law jurisdictions. In this regard, the book seeks to dispel a number of myths concerning the French model’s actual influence on European and Latin American criminal codes. The impact of the Napoleonic criminal code on other jurisdictions was real, but the scope and extent of its influence were significantly less than has sometimes been claimed. The overemphasis on French influence on other civil law jurisdictions is partly due to a fundamental assumption that modern criminal codes constituted a break with the past. The question as to whether they truly broke with the past or were merely a degree of reform touches on a difficult issue, namely, the dichotomy between tradition and foreign influences in the codification of criminal law. Scholarship has unfairly ignored this important subject, an oversight that this book remedies.
Criminal Liability of Corporations = LA Criminalisation Du Comportement Collectif
This volume contains fourteen national reports and the general report on the subject of "Criminal Liability of Corporations," written for the XIVth Congress of the International Academy of Comparative Law which was held in 1994 in Athens, Greece. The issue of criminal liability of corporations is being discussed worldwide, as is apparent in the many changes which are taking place in both criminal law and administrative law in several countries. The national reports give an overview of the various trends in criminal policy when addressing the topic of liability of corporations and the general report sets out a common thread in this field.
Vorbild Helmut Schmidt?
Corona-Pandemie und Überflutungen, Kriege und Migrationsströme, Klima- und Energiekrise: So präsentiert sich das 2020er-Jahrzehnt. Ende kaum absehbar. Was würde Helmut Schmidt jetzt tun? Fehlt an Deutschlands Spitze eine Führungsfigur seines Formats? Schmidts Nimbus als Krisenmanager entstand vor allem 1962, bei der Sturmflut an der Nordseeküste, und im Terrorherbst 1977: Der Kanzler ließ den entführten Lufthansa-Jet "Landshut" in Mogadischu stürmen, und die Geiseln dort kamen frei. Schmidts entschiedenes Auftreten und seine klare Sprache sind Kult. Kann Helmut Schmidt der Politik ein Vorbild sein - zeitlos, in Gegenwart und Zukunft?
