The Rights of Victims in Criminal Justice Proceedings for Serious Human Rights Violations addresses a question of critical importance to policy-makers, international lawyers, academics, and affected societies throughout the world: Should victims of serious human rights violations be granted under international law the rights of access to and participation in criminal proceedings before international, hybrid and domestic tribunals? Juan Carlos Ochoa applies a thorough analysis of international and comparative domestic law and practice to this question, taking into account a host of international human rights instruments and case law, the theory, law and practice of international and hybrid cr...
This book argues that the expressivist justice model provides a meaningful foundation for the participation of victims in international criminal proceedings. Traditional criminal justice theories have tended to marginalise the role afforded to victims while informing the criminal procedures utilised by international criminal courts. As a result, giving content to, shaping, and enhancing victims’ participatory rights have been some of the most debated issues in international criminal justice. This book contributes to this debate by advancing expressivism, which has the capacity to create a historical narrative of gross human rights violations, as a core of international criminal justice abl...

The Oxford Handbook of Criminal Process surveys the topics and issues in the field of criminal process, including the laws, institutions, and practices of the criminal justice administration. The process begins with arrests or with crime investigation such as searches for evidence. It continues through trial or some alternative form of adjudication such as plea bargaining that may lead to conviction and punishment, and it includes post-conviction events such as appeals and various procedures for addressing miscarriages of justice. Across more than 40 chapters, this Handbook provides a descriptive overview of the subject sufficient to serve as a durable reference source, and more importantly to offer contemporary critical or analytical perspectives on those subjects by leading scholars in the field. Topics covered include history, procedure, investigation, prosecution, evidence, adjudication, and appeal.
The year 2000's most significant international event was, almost certainly, neither political nor military, but scientific - the announcement, in June, that the human genome had been almost totally decoded. Future generations may well see this as a major turning point, opening the way to radical changes in diagnosis, prognosis, and medical treatment. Often compared with the space programme, this vast enterprise still generates misgivings: this new power, which human beings now have, to modify the genetic heritage of living creatures raises fundamentally new ethical questions - and society as a whole will have to find the answers. In fact, the accelerating pace of scientific and technical pro...
Das Adhäsionsverfahren ermöglicht, dass zivilrechtliche Ansprüche im Strafverfahren beurteilt werden. Seine gesetzliche Regelung in Art. 122 ff. StPO ist allerdings sehr rudimentär und lückenhaft. Rechtsprechung und Lehre befassen sich bislang kaum mit der Lückenhaftigkeit des Verfahrens bzw. dem damit verbundenen Koordinationsdefizit des Straf- und Zivilverfahrensrechts. Die Arbeit zeigt auf, wie Gesetzeslücken im Adhäsionsverfahren gefüllt und gleichsam das Straf- und Zivilverfahrensrecht koordiniert werden können. Die Arbeit zeigt auf, welche Leitgedanken für die Lückenfüllung massgeblich sind. Es wird erläutert wie mit Kollisionen zwischen Straf- und Zivilverfahrensrecht umzugehen ist. Mithilfe der entwickelten Methode liefert die Arbeit sodann konkrete Lösungsvorschläge für spezifische Verfahrensfragen.

"A landmark publication exploring the relationship between sacred matter and precious materials in the Middle Ages."--Site web de l'éditeur.
Each part starts with a brief description of the political and religious climate of the period and the way such factors affected the compositions and the organ-building of the time.
Climate extremes often imply significant impacts on human and natural systems, and these extreme events are anticipated to be among the potentially most harmful consequences of a changing climate. However, while extreme event impacts are increasingly recognized, methodologies to address such impacts and the degree of our understanding and prediction capabilities vary widely among different sectors and disciplines. Moreover, traditional climate extreme indices and large-scale multi-model intercomparisons that are used for future projections of extreme events and associated impacts often fall short in capturing the full complexity of impact systems. Climate Extremes and Their Implications for ...
