Personal Participation in Criminal Proceedings
This book presents a comprehensive analysis of personal participation in criminal proceedings and in absentia trials. Going beyond the accused-centred perspective of default proceedings, it not only examines the consequences of absence in various types of criminal proceedings, but also the fair trial safeguards allowing personal contributions during trials, as well as in pre-trial inquiries, higher instances and transborder procedures. By pursuing an interdisciplinary approach and employing comparative-law methodologies, the book presents a cross-section of twelve European criminal justice systems with regard to the requirements set forth by constitutional, international and EU law.
Liberty and Security in Europe
Over recent years, most of the criminal justice systems in Europe have witnessed a tendency to enhance the role of pre-trial inquiries. Different kinds of pre-trial measures have had a heavy impact on the fundamental rights of individuals involved in criminal procedures. This book contains a comparative study of four European countries on pre-trial precautionary measures limiting personal liberty. This comparison is part of two general frameworks concerning the ECtHR case-law and the EU legislation in the field of the right to liberty and security. In its two level approach, the book provides a critical guide for understanding the most significant changes which occurred in the area of liberty and security in the pre-trial phases of criminal proceedings as well as the protection systems developed in Europe both at national and supranational level to face the new challenges of the modern criminal investigation.
International Criminal Jurisdiction
"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"--
Grenzen der Vorverlagerung in einem Tatstrafrecht
English summary: In general, the system of anticipatory punishment is critically assessed by penologists. Criminal law seems to be imbued with anticipatory tendencies, and the term criminal offence now nothing more than an empty phrase in the legal system. The legislative scope for describing deeds before deeds out of crime policy considerations, so as to encounter the risk of injury at the earliest stage possible, seems to be limitless. The German and the Hungarian criminal justice systems both stipulate the criminal offence as the penal benchmark. The definition of attempted crime, however, is different in both countries. The common features and differences, but at the same time similar ob...
Nuclear Weapons and International Law
This two-volume book provides a comprehensive analysis of the lawfulness of the use of nuclear weapons, based on existing international law, established facts as to nuclear weapons and their effects, and nuclear weapons policies and plans of the United States. Based on detailed analysis of the facts and law, Professor Moxley shows that the United States’ arguments that uses of nuclear weapons, including low-yield nuclear weapons, could be lawful do not withstand analysis. Moxley opens by examining established rules of international law governing the use of nuclear weapons, first analyzing this body of law based on the United States’ own statements of the matter and then extending the ana...
Municipal Magdeburg Law (Ius municipale Magdeburgense) in Late Medieval Poland
In this volume, Maciej Mikuła analyses the extant texts of the Ius municipale Magdeburgense, the most important collection of Magdeburg Law in late medieval Poland. He discusses the different translation traditions of the collection; the application of Magdeburg Law in cities; how differences between the versions could affect the application of the rights; and how the invention of printing influenced the principle of legal certainty. Mikuła ultimately shows that the differences between the texts not only influenced legal practice, but also bear out how complex the process was of the adaptation of Magdeburg Law.
Introduction to Hungarian Law
About this book: Introduction to Hungarian Law provides a basic knowledge of legal concepts of Hungary, with special emphasis on practical issues. Hungary’s historical connection to the European legal tradition has enabled the country’s legal system to overcome the legal gap caused by political developments after the Second World War. This practical book, far from a simple second edition of the volume published more than ten years ago, details the full-fledged legal system that has been established prior to and since Hungary became a member of the European Union in 2004, and it contains information concerning the existing legal system. This book provides a comprehensive overview of all m...
Ferenc Erkels "Bánk bán" unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der Rolle der Melinda und ihrer Interpretation durch Karola Ágai
Zwischen dem künstlerischen Vermächtnis des Komponisten Ferenc Erkel (1810–1893) und der Sängerin Karola Ágai (1927–2010) existiert eine einzigartige Symbiose. Erkel schuf die Fundamente der ungarischen Nationaloper und einer institutionellen Musikkultur. Ágai galt etwa ab 1960 als eine der wichtigsten Interpretinnen von Erkels Werk. Ihre Errungenschaften seine Frauenfiguren und insbesondere Melinda im Hauptwerk Bánk bán betreffend, bilden nicht nur Höhepunkte der ungarischen Operngeschichte, sondern setzten auch neue Maßstäbe und Paradigmenwechsel für das Werk Erkels in Ungarn.
