This book focuses on protection needs and new aspects of personality and data protection rights on the Internet, presenting a comprehensive review that discusses and compares international, European and national (Brazilian, German, Pakistani) perspectives. It deals with overarching questions, such as whether universal minimum standards of privacy protection can be developed or how regional data protection rights can be safeguarded and enforced extraterritorially, given the conditions of the Internet. Furthermore, the book addresses new challenges and novel rights, e. g., data retention and protection against mass surveillance, the right to be forgotten, rights to anonymity, legal issues of the digital estate or rights relating to algorithmic decision-making. Furthermore, the book explores how well-known paradigms, such as liability for personality rights violations or damages, have to be adapted in view of the significant role of intermediaries.
"Complete freedom, nobody enjoys it: we start oppressed by syntax and end up dealing with the Police of Social and Political Order, but, within the narrow limits that grammar and law coerce us, we can still move". This quote of Brazilian writer Graciliano Ramos (in Memoirs of prison, 1953), also illustrates the present moment of Brazilian journalism. Among so many forms of censorship present in our days: the political and ideological (induced by the government's pressure) and the economic (by the strength of the market), we still find the judicial, the one decided precisely by the constitutionally responsible power to watch over its integrity. Yes, the judge's pen is present with the same strength as the stamp of the former and extinct Brazilian Federal Censorship Department, in 1988, with the new Federal Constitution.
In this book contributors engage into the theoretical dialogue about the interplay between terrorism and organised crime. Arguing in favour of its existence, the authors of the book seek to define the phenomenon of ‘organised criminal terrorism’ and examine the appropriateness of the international and regional legal frameworks on terrorism and organised crime to address this unitary criminal phenomenon. The volume reveals similarities and differences between terrorism and organised crime that support views in favour of new international legal instruments and those that defend the current approach to combat organised criminal terrorism. Contributors hope that the book will form the basis for a more informed discussion on the issue.

The art world has been discovered by criminals as an effective way for money laundering and other clandestine activities on an international level. Unfortunately, in most countries investigators, prosecutors, judges, and regulatory agencies are not equipped to accurately detect, investigate and prosecute this type of criminal activity. Also, regulation and international laws and treaties involving the art world have many loopholes that can potentially lead to the laundering of large sums of money. This book provides a bird’s eye view of novel ways in which money laundering happens through illegal activities involving art. It can serve as a guide for law enforcement, prosecutors, judges, and others involved in efforts to curb money laundering and financing of terrorism, revealing why somehow new techniques used by criminals have been neglected by law enforcement in most countries. Drawing from his own experience with the matter in both Brazil and in the United States, the author makes a case for broader institutional and regulatory improvement, extending beyond mere regulation of the art market.
O mercado de livros didáticos de Direito Penal em nosso país mostra, há vários anos, uma sensível lacuna. Embora ainda seja fonte para textos de doutrina e precedentes de jurisprudência acerca de aspectos relevantes da Parte Geral e de acesso frequente à Parte Especial do Código Penal, a obra prima de Nélson Hungria, Comentários ao Código Penal teve poucas reedições após a sua morte. Vieram novamente à estampa os volumes I (tomos I e II), IV, VI, VII e VIII. A decisão de recuperar o projeto de republicação integral da clássica coleção constitui o maior desafio desta editora para oferecer momentos de prazer intelectual da leitura e o relevo científico da doutrina, ilumin...
A reflection on the limits of the construction of judicial decisions from the Edenic Myth Having as its central element the rhetorical analysis of the Edenic myth (Gen. 2 and 3), this dissertation addresses the strength that such narrative has had to forge, both in the West and in the East, a behavior of submission and passivity in the face of authorities that place themselves in the power. It sees, however, also present in the text, an invitation to abstain from the practice of judgments of moral behavior (ignoring good and evil), which is presented as a task of God and not of men. These, according to the author, when they set out to pronounce sentences in relation to their peers, end up expressing prejudices, which are established in society through mechanisms of symbolic violence. At the end, the author, faced with the practical and immediate impossibility of a way of social coexistence without the structures of power and control, among which the judiciary stands out, inviting us to adopt a humbler and fraternal posture when the moment of the decision, with the aim of mitigating the effects of the potential and actual brutality that the sentences tend to carry out.
O princípio da proteção eficiente de direitos humanos vincula o Estado tanto quanto as vedações de excesso. Estas obstam o arbítrio estatal, como expressão da necessária proporcionalidade entre os ilícitos e as reações estatais diante deles.
