Download or read book Commentary on the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court written by Otto Triffterer and published by Hart Publishing Limited. This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 1954 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On July 1, 2008, the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC) entered into force, enabling the ICC - as laid down in the Preamble to the Statute - to affirm "that the most serious crimes of concern to the international community as a whole must not go unpunished and that their effective prosecution must be ensured by taking measures at national level and by enhancing international cooperation." In this second edition commentary, Otto Triffterer and a number of eminent legal practitioners and scholars in the field of international criminal law give a detailed article-by-article analysis of both the Statute as well as the "Elements of Crime" and the "Rules of Procedure and Evidence," adopted by the Assembly of States Parties in 2002, and the "Regulations of the Court," adopted by the Judges of the ICC in 2004. This substantially revised and significantly amended version considers the jurisprudence of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR); other international, "semi-international," or national courts; and the relevant literature since the publication of the first edition in 1999. This book has been selected in 2009 to receive the prestigious ASIL Certificate of Merit for High Technical Craftsmanship and Utility to Practicing Lawyers and Scholars.

This book was released on 2018-04-01 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La llamada Jurisdicción Especial para la Paz es un mecanismo de administración de justicia diseñado para operar de manera selectiva como parte de un sistema integral de verdad,justicia reparación y no repetición que, a su vez, es solo uno de los elementos de un sistema más amplio compuesto por los seis documentos que constituyen el Acuerdo de Paz suscrito por el gobierno colombiano y la guerrilla de las FARC-EP. Esos tres sistemas, en conjunto, conforman un modelo de Justicia Transicional con el que Colombia intenta superar un pasado reciente de graves violaciones a los derechos humanos, delitos de lesa humanidad y crímenes de guerra ocurridos durante cerca de cincuenta años en el entorno de un conflicto armado interno. Puesto que para la superación de ese pasado conflictivo se acordó hacer modificaciones en materia de reforma agraria, participación en política y estrategia de lucha contra las drogas de uso ilícito, es evidente que la denominada Justicia Transicional es mucho más que justicia. Primero, porque en el plano de Acuerdo de Paz es importante intervenir en las causas del conflicto para tratar de evitar su repetición, pero esas modificaciones no le corresponden al aparato judicial, sino que son parte de un trabajo que debe ser desarrollado por el ejecutivo con la ayuda del legislativo a través de reformas constitucionales y legales que deberían llevar a la práctica lo que se acordó en La Habana sobre esos temas. Segundo, porque dentro del Sistema Integral de Verdad, Justicia Reparación y No Repetición está previsto el funcionamiento de instrumentos como la Comisión de la Verdad, la Unidad de Búsqueda de Personas Dadas por Desaparecidas, los mecanismos de reparación y las garantías de no repetición, que no cumplen funciones judiciales. Tercero porqué, incluso dentro de la Jurisdicción Especial para la Paz, no todos sus componentes desarrollan labores exclusivamente judiciales; la Sala de Verdad y Reconocimiento de Responsabilidades tiene como principal encargo de recibir información sobre las conductas delictivas cometidas durante y con ocasión del conflicto armado, para verificarlas, evaluarlas y contrastarlas, con el propósito de seleccionar las más graves y representativas y concentrar en ellas el trabajo de la jurisdicción.

Download or read book Theories of Co perpetration in International Criminal Law written by Lachezar D. Yanev and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2018-05-07 with total page 654 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The proper construction of co-perpetration responsibility in international criminal law has become one of the most enduring controversies in this field, with the UN Tribunals endorsing the theory of joint criminal enterprise, and the International Criminal Court adopting the alternative joint control over the crime theory to define this mode of liability. This book seeks to reconcile the ICTY/R’s and ICC’s jurisprudence by providing a definition of co-perpetration that could be uniformly applied in the two justice models that these institutions represent: the ad hoc- and the treaty-based model. An evaluation framework is adopted, pursuant to which the origins, merits and deficiencies of the said competing theories are critically assessed, and a refined legal framework of co-perpetration responsibility is proposed.

Download or read book Weak Courts Strong Rights written by Mark Tushnet and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2009-07-20 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unlike many other countries, the United States has few constitutional guarantees of social welfare rights such as income, housing, or healthcare. In part this is because many Americans believe that the courts cannot possibly enforce such guarantees. However, recent innovations in constitutional design in other countries suggest that such rights can be judicially enforced--not by increasing the power of the courts but by decreasing it. In Weak Courts, Strong Rights, Mark Tushnet uses a comparative legal perspective to show how creating weaker forms of judicial review may actually allow for stronger social welfare rights under American constitutional law. Under "strong-form" judicial review, as in the United States, judicial interpretations of the constitution are binding on other branches of government. In contrast, "weak-form" review allows the legislature and executive to reject constitutional rulings by the judiciary--as long as they do so publicly. Tushnet describes how weak-form review works in Great Britain and Canada and discusses the extent to which legislatures can be expected to enforce constitutional norms on their own. With that background, he turns to social welfare rights, explaining the connection between the "state action" or "horizontal effect" doctrine and the enforcement of social welfare rights. Tushnet then draws together the analysis of weak-form review and that of social welfare rights, explaining how weak-form review could be used to enforce those rights. He demonstrates that there is a clear judicial path--not an insurmountable judicial hurdle--to better enforcement of constitutional social welfare rights.

Download or read book La responsabilidad del superior a la luz del art culo 28 del Estatuto de la Corte Penal Internacional written by Volker Nerlich and published by Universidad Externado. This book was released on 2016-04-01 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La responsabilidad del superior es un concepto utilizado con cierta frecuencia en los tribunales penales internacionales ad hoc para atribuir responsabilidad penal a los jefes militares y a otros superiores. Sin embargo, no queda claro por qué se culpa realmente al superior. El autor arguye que, con respecto al concepto de responsabilidad del superior del artículo 28 del Estatuto de la Corte Penal Internacional, la respuesta a esta pregunta depende de la modalidad de responsabilidad del superior por la que se declare culpable al acusado. Si se atribuye responsabilidad al superior por no haber evitado o reprimido el delito del subordinado aun sabiendo del mismo, el superior puede responder tanto por la conducta delictiva del subordinado como por su consecuencia ilícita. En cuanto a las restantes clases de responsabilidad del superior, este puede únicamente responder por la falta de control apropiado que causó una consecuencia ilícita, pero no por La conducta delictiva del subordinado.

Download or read book The New Constitutional Order written by Mark Tushnet and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2009-02-09 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his 1996 State of the Union Address, President Bill Clinton announced that the "age of big government is over." Some Republicans accused him of cynically appropriating their themes, while many Democrats thought he was betraying the principles of the New Deal and the Great Society. Mark Tushnet argues that Clinton was stating an observed fact: the emergence of a new constitutional order in which the aspiration to achieve justice directly through law has been substantially chastened. Tushnet argues that the constitutional arrangements that prevailed in the United States from the 1930s to the 1990s have ended. We are now in a new constitutional order--one characterized by divided government, ideologically organized parties, and subdued constitutional ambition. Contrary to arguments that describe a threatened return to a pre-New Deal constitutional order, however, this book presents evidence that our current regime's animating principle is not the old belief that government cannot solve any problems but rather that government cannot solve any more problems. Tushnet examines the institutional arrangements that support the new constitutional order as well as Supreme Court decisions that reflect it. He also considers recent developments in constitutional scholarship, focusing on the idea of minimalism as appropriate to a regime with chastened ambitions. Tushnet discusses what we know so far about the impact of globalization on domestic constitutional law, particularly in the areas of international human rights and federalism. He concludes with predictions about the type of regulation we can expect from the new order. This is a major new analysis of the constitutional arrangements in the United States. Though it will not be received without controversy, it offers real explanatory and predictive power and provides important insights to both legal theorists and political scientists.

Download or read book Modes of Liability in International Criminal Law written by Marjolein Cupido and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2019-07-11 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presently, many of the greatest debates and controversies in international criminal law concern modes of liability for international crimes. The state of the law is unclear, to the detriment of accountability for major crimes and of the uniformity of international criminal law. The present book aims at clarifying the state of the law and provides a thorough analysis of the jurisprudence of international courts and tribunals, as well as of the debates and the questions these debates have left open. Renowned international criminal law scholars analyze, in discrete chapters, the modes of liability one by one; for each mode they identify the main trends in the jurisprudence and the main points of controversy. An introduction addresses the cross-cutting issues, and a conclusion anticipates possible evolutions that we may see in the future. The research on which this book is based was undertaken with the Geneva Academy.

Download or read book The Constitution of Deliberative Democracy written by Carlos Santiago Nino and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 1996-01-01 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this important and wide-ranging book, a leading political theorist and activist considers the question: What justifies democracy? Carlos Santiago Nino critically examines answers others have given and then develops his own distinctive theory of democracy, emphasizing its deliberative character. In Nino's view, democracy resembles a moral conversation and is valued because of its capacity to generate an impartial perspective, one that takes into account the interests of all citizens. Nino's conception of deliberative democracy bears on the way power is organized under a constitution. Drawing on a variety of constitutional traditions, he criticizes the presidential system and calls for citizens to participate more directly in the political life of their country. He also envisions a revitalized role for political parties. Nino shows how deliberative democracy can be combined with, and supported by, other constitutional practices, such as the specific wording of the text and the protection of individual rights. The complex constitution that emerges from his analysis consists of a historical constitution, an ideal constitution of rights, and an ideal constitution of power. Nino's goal is to explain how these three dimensions of constitutionalism can reinforce rather than conflict with each other. In a final chapter, he argues that the deliberative conception of democracy requires a more limited role for judicial review than is usually contemplated.

This book was released on 2022-04-01 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Las ideas que se proponen en este trabajo toman principalmente por base las elaboraciones teóricas propuestas, durante su larga carrera científica, por el profesor alemán Günther Jakobs. Son varias décadas de investigación de ya una escuela (la escuela de Bonn) que cuenta con seguidores en muchos países europeos y americanos, donde académicos y dogmáticos del derecho penal profundizaron y explicaron sus conceptos, crearon nuevas categorías e impulsaron profundas discusiones penales. En suma, donde se ha pretendido estudiar los problemas sociales a partir de una visión holística de la ciencia penal; una visión no individualista y en muchos aspectos más cercana a la posmodernidad. Es una perspectiva funcional-normativista del derecho penal que consideramos apta y con suficiente capacidad de rendimiento para explicar el derecho penal de la sociedad mundo, donde el riesgo y la diferenciación deben ser entendidos. Esta moderna sociedad también conoce el crimen, lo que sucede es que este es ahora global, propio de estructuras organizativas de muchos órdenes, de macroestructuras criminales nacionales y trasnacionales que operan en redes. En definitiva, son nuevas formas de aparición del fenómeno criminal que desafían todos los días la capacidad de aprehensión teórica de la dogmática del derecho penal tradicional. Ante estas nuevas realidades una concepción normativa de la ciencia penal ilumina el camino, abre senderos hasta ahora poco recorridos y, por consiguiente, aporta cimientos a la tan anhelada seguridad jurídica. En estas líneas se pretende explicar los elementos fundamentales de la imputación penal en supuestos de macrocriminalidad y de crímenes internacionales, ámbitos donde la imputación penal no puede ser entendida solamente desde la acción individual del agente. Por ello, la propuesta que hacemos es un modelo social de imputación, a partir de los elementos de las teorías de la imputación objetiva y de las posiciones de garante, buscando así crear un gran esquema interpretativo de la realidad de la gran criminalidad. En la primera parte de este trabajo expondremos la discusión tradicional sobre responsabilidad penal al interior de estructuras delincuenciales, explicando las diferentes propuestas de solución para la imputación del jefe o cabecilla de la organización. Pues en efecto, todos los esfuerzos teóricos han estado enfocados desde siempre en la responsabilidad individual de un sujeto, quizás el más importante dentro de la organización, pero a la vez quien menos contribuye empíricamente al hecho, y poco en la responsabilidad de la organización o del colectivo. Las visiones causalista o finalista del delito palidecen ante semejante desafío. Solo la pionera propuesta de Claus Roxin sobre autoría mediata en virtud de aparatos organizados de poder puede ser leída generosamente como un antecedente importante para una correcta solución; no obstante, el lector atento podrá advertir que la importancia del aporte de este autor se ve menguada por el apego a categorías tradicionales del derecho penal.
