Fighting Terrorism through Multilevel Criminal Legislation
This book highlights the criminal framework legislation developed by the UN Security Council and the EU in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks in the USA in 2001, and studies the implementation of these rules in six European legal orders. It contains a thorough analysis of the concept of terrorist offences, including complex issues such as actions by armed forces and resistance movements. It also explores the broad criminalisation of preparatory acts, including the participation in terrorist groups, and discusses the extended application of national law to offences committed abroad. More generally, the book sheds light on the interplay between global, regional and national regulation and contributes to a better understanding of national differences in the field of criminal law.
Multilevel Regulation and the EU
Rules are no longer merely made by states, but increasingly by international organizations and other international bodies. At the same time these rules do impact the daily life of citizens and companies as it has become increasingly difficult to draw dividing lines between international, EU and domestic law. This book introduces the notion of a ~multilevel regulationa (TM) as a way to study these normative processes and the interplay between different legal orders. It indicates that many rules in such areas as trade, financial cooperation, food safety, pharmaceuticals, security, terrorism, civil aviation, environmental protection or the internet find their origin in international cooperation...
International and Transnational Criminal Law
This comprehensive and versatile book covers both international criminal law and the application of US criminal law transnationally. It has chapters on each of the core crimes (aggression, genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes), as well as separate chapters on the international tribunals from Nuremberg on and the ICC. Other chapters treat modes of liability, defenses, crimes against women, and alternatives to criminal prosecution in post-conflict societies. Thus the book can be used for courses focusing entirely on international criminal law and accountability for core crimes. But it also covers US criminal law in transnational contexts, including money laundering, Foreign Corrupt Pr...
Guantánamo and Beyond
The Military Commissions scheme established by President George W. Bush in November 2001 has garnered considerable controversy. In parallel with the detention facilities at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, the creation of military courts has focused significant global attention on the use of such courts to process and try persons suspected of committing terrorist acts or offenses during armed conflict. This book brings together the viewpoints of leading scholars and policy makers on the topic of exceptional courts and military commissions with a series of unique contributions setting out the current 'state of the field'. The book assesses the relationship between such courts and other intersecting and overlapping legal arenas including constitutional law, international law, international human rights law, and international humanitarian law. By examining the comparative patterns, similarities and disjunctions arising from the use of such courts, this book also analyzes the political and legal challenges that the creation and operation of exceptional courts produces both within democratic states and for the international community.
Indirect Responsibility for Terrorist Acts
The roots of organized crime penetrate deep into the normal operations of society, its economic and financial patterns, sometimes also its bureaucracy and ideological apparatuses. Drug trafficking, traffic in persons or terrorist networks could not exist if they did not engage large groups of people and routine patterns of social and economic behaviour. Often the “indirect” actors remain hidden, however, and beyond the reach of the arm of the law. In an analogical way, “terrorism” emerges from and is sustained by a wide network of ideological, economic, financial and other actors and activities. Marja Lehto maps in this work the way in which international legal regulation, particular...
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"--
Methodology of Criminal Law Theory: Art, Politics or Science?
In dem Band wird erörtert, ob die Strafrechtstheorie (bzw. die allgemeine Rechtstheorie) als ein Zweig der Wissenschaft angesehen werden kann. Dabei werden folgende Fragen behandelt: In welchem Sinne ist die Strafrechtslehre eine Form der Wissenschaft? Kann es systemische Entwicklungen in der Strafrechtstheorie geben? Die Frage nach dem Wesen der strafrechtlichen Erkenntnis ist eng verknüpft mit der Frage, was Rechtswissenschaft im Allgemeinen ausmacht. Eine Diskussion im Bereich des Strafrechts kann einen Beitrag zur allgemeinen Diskussion in der Rechtstheorie leisten und deutlich machen, wo die Strafrechtstheorie steht, wenn die juristische Forschung mit den Herausforderungen der Interdisziplinarität konfrontiert wird. Mit Beiträgen von Petter Asp, Thomas Elholm, Liang Genlin, Luís Greco, Eric Hilgendorf, Jørn Jacobsen, Heike Jung, Massimiliano Lanzi, Shin Matsuzawa, Kimmo Nuotio und Michael Pawlik.
