Download or read book Criminal law between war and peace written by Stefano Manacorda and published by Ministerio de Justicia. This book was released on 2009 with total page 820 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If subjecting war to law is one of the most important legal achievements of the 20th century, progressing further in that direction is one of the most important challenges for the 21st century. The problems it poses are many: the term “war” has formally fallen into disuse and we talk about “peacekeeping”; armies are today the product of cooperation between states and international organizations; private contractors increasingly participate in warlike activities, as the case of the Iraq war demonstrates; and the lines between war and very serious forms of crime (terrorism, organized crime) are increasingly blurred. This volume compiles the contributions presented at XVth International Congress on Social Defence, and tackle the criminal-legal issues raised by these new scenarios. It constitutes an innovative volume, gathering together the work of both academic and military authors, who have drawn on their theoretical and practical experience.

Download or read book Translating Guilt written by Cassandra Steer and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-02-26 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book seeks to understand how and why we should hold leaders responsible for the collective mass atrocities that are committed in times of conflict. It attempts to untangle the debates on modes of liability in international criminal law (ICL) that have become truly complex over the last twenty years, and to provide a way to identify the most appropriate model for leadership liability. A unique comparative theory of ICL is offered, which clarifies the way in which ICL develops as a patchwork of different domestic criminal law notions. This theory forms the basis for the comparison of some influential domestic criminal law systems, with a view to understanding the policy and cultural reasons for their differences. There is a particular focus on the background of the German law which has influenced the International Criminal Court so much recently. This helps to understand, and seek a solution to, the current impasses in the debates on which model of liability should be applied. An entire chapter of the book is devoted to considering why leaders should be held responsible for crimes committed by their subordinates, from legal, moral and pragmatic perspectives. The moral responsibility of leaders is translated into criminal liability, and the different domestic models of liability are translated to the international context, in such a way as to appeal to advanced students of ICL, academics, and practitioners who want to understand the complexities of leadership liability in international criminal law today and identify the best way to approach it. Cassandra Steer is Executive Director of Women in International Security Canada, and Junior Wainwright Fellow at McGill University, Canada. She holds a Ph.D. in Law from the University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

Download or read book Memory and Punishment written by Emanuela Fronza and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-02-27 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the criminalisation of denials of genocide and of other mass atrocities in Europe and discusses the implications of protecting institutional historical memory through criminal law. The analysis highlights the tensions with free speech, investigating the relationship between criminal law and historical memory. The book paves the way for a broader discussion about fake news, ‘post-truth’ scenarios, and free expression in a digital world. The author underscores the need to protect well-founded factual records from the dangers of misinformation. Historical denialism and the related jurisprudence represent a key step in exploring this complex field. The book combines an interdisciplinary approach with criminal law methodology. It is primarily aimed at academics, practitioners and others who wish to deepen their understanding of historical denialism, remembrance laws, ‘speech crimes’ and freedom of expression. Emanuela Fronza is Senior Research Fellow in Criminal Law and Lecturer in International and European Criminal Law at the School of Law, University of Bologna. She is a Principal Investigator within the EU research consortium Memory Laws in European and Comparative Perspectives funded by HERA (Humanities in the European Research Area).

Download or read book Liars written by Cass R. Sunstein and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021-02-04 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A powerful analysis of why lies and falsehoods spread so rapidly now, and how we can reform our laws and policies regarding speech to alleviate the problem. Lying has been with us from time immemorial. Yet today is different-and in many respects worse. All over the world, people are circulating damaging lies, and these falsehoods are amplified as never before through powerful social media platforms that reach billions. Liars are saying that COVID-19 is a hoax. They are claiming that vaccines cause autism. They are lying about public officials and about people who aspire to high office. They are lying about their friends and neighbors. They are trying to sell products on the basis of untruths. Unfriendly governments, including Russia, are circulating lies in order to destabilize other nations, including the United Kingdom and the United States. In the face of those problems, the renowned legal scholar Cass Sunstein probes the fundamental question of how we can deter lies while also protecting freedom of speech. To be sure, we cannot eliminate lying, nor should we try to do so. Sunstein shows why free societies must generally allow falsehoods and lies, which cannot and should not be excised from democratic debate. A main reason is that we cannot trust governments to make unbiased judgments about what counts as "fake news." However, governments should have the power to regulate specific kinds of falsehoods: those that genuinely endanger health, safety, and the capacity of the public to govern itself. Sunstein also suggests that private institutions, such as Facebook and Twitter, have a great deal of room to stop the spread of falsehoods, and they should be exercising their authority far more than they are now doing. As Sunstein contends, we are allowing far too many lies, including those that both threaten public health and undermine the foundations of democracy itself.

Download or read book How Tobacco Smoke Causes Disease written by United States. Public Health Service. Office of the Surgeon General and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 728 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report considers the biological and behavioral mechanisms that may underlie the pathogenicity of tobacco smoke. Many Surgeon General's reports have considered research findings on mechanisms in assessing the biological plausibility of associations observed in epidemiologic studies. Mechanisms of disease are important because they may provide plausibility, which is one of the guideline criteria for assessing evidence on causation. This report specifically reviews the evidence on the potential mechanisms by which smoking causes diseases and considers whether a mechanism is likely to be operative in the production of human disease by tobacco smoke. This evidence is relevant to understanding how smoking causes disease, to identifying those who may be particularly susceptible, and to assessing the potential risks of tobacco products.

Download or read book Teor a general del delito written by Francesco Carnelutti and published by Ediciones Olejnik. This book was released on 2023-11-27 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "En toda sociedad, grande o pequeña, acaecen hechos contrarios al bien común: homicidio, hurto, traición. Provisionalmente, podríamos dar a estos hechos el nombre de delitos. Su misma naturaleza, fundada en la oposición al bien común, demuestra que la sociedad, si quiere vivir, tiene que reaccionar contra ellos. Y, a propósito, se desarrolla, en cierta medida, una verdadera lucha, como ocurre con las enfermedades. La más antigua de las armas empleadas por el hombre en esta lucha es la pena. Pero ¿no tenemos otras que sirvan para el mismo fin? La res-puesta afirmativa debe ser considerada ya como una conquista indestructible de la ciencia; más bien de la civilización. Entre dichas armas se habla actualmente de las medidas de seguridad. Su utilidad, y por ello, su legitimidad, no pueden ser discutidas. Pero el campo de batalla es más vasto, o mejor, ilimitado; el maestro, el sacerdote, el médico, el abogado combaten al lado del juez y sus auxiliares. Marca, sin duda, un progreso en esta lucha su extensión desde la pena a los medios extrapenales. Que esta extensión pueda transformarse poco a poco en una sustitución, es un punto sobre el cual es preciso no confundir la realidad con los ideales. Si un nuevo Pasteur inventase una vacuna milagrosa contra el crimen, es seguro que desde ese momento policía, prisiones y cadenas quedarían relegadas a los museos, y el Derecho penal quedaría reducido a un capítulo de la historia jurídica. No ideamos esta hipótesis por burla ni con ironía; al contrario, lo mismo que no osaríamos excluir un milagro de la ciencia, ni siquiera en esta materia, nos sonríe y sostiene la fe en un lento, pero seguro progreso de las fuerzas morales, que constituyen la más eficaz defensa contra el delito. Más por hoy y por un largo mañana, creemos que debe admitirse todavía está verdad, quizás un poco triste: que la lucha contra tales formas de daño a la sociedad no se puede realizar sin la pena". Francesco Carnelutti.

Download or read book El injusto del ciudadano written by Michael Pawlik and published by Universidad Externado. This book was released on 2023-11-21 with total page 882 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El injusto del ciudadano constituye la obra general más relevante del pensamiento jurídico-penal alemán en lo que va del siglo. Gracias a un conocimiento exquisito de las fuentes filosóficas y a un profundo dominio tanto de la historia de la dogmática como de las modernas tendencias penales, Michael Pawlik emprende en esta, su opera magna, una revisión general de la teoría del delito. Su punto de partida es la teoría de la pena. En consecuencia, en el primer capítulo Pawlik desarrolla ampliamente su concepción de la pena, el delito y la relación entre ellos. En su opinión, mientras que el delito consiste en la lesión del deber del ciudadano de cooperar en el mantenimiento de un estado de libertades, la pena responde a la infracción de dicho deber. Esas constituyen, por lo tanto, las coordenadas para la construcción de una teoría general del delito adecuada a nuestro tiempo. A continuación, en el segundo capítulo, Pawlik se ocupa de los criterios que permiten de- terminar el contenido del deber de cooperación en una situación concreta; allí desarrolla un sistema de competencias que cobra relevancia no solo dentro de los delitos omisivos, sino también para los delitos activos y respecto de las causas de justificación. Finalmente, en el tercer capítulo, Pawlik estudia las condiciones bajo las cuales se le puede imputar al autor su comportamiento como una in- fracción del deber de cooperación, con lo cual complementa la teoría de las competencias con una teoría de la imputación.

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Migration Crises written by Dr. Cecilia Menjívar and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-01-16 with total page 953 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of The Oxford Handbook of Migration Crises is to deconstruct, question, and redefine through a critical lens what is commonly understood as "migration crises." The volume covers a wide range of historical, economic, social, political, and environmental conditions that generate migration crises around the globe. At the same time, it illuminates how the media and public officials play a major role in framing migratory flows as crises. The volume brings together an exceptional group of scholars from around the world to critically examine migration crises and to revisit the notion of crisis through the context in which permanent and non-permanent migration flows occur. The Oxford Handbook of Migration Crises offers an understanding of individuals in societies, socio-economic structures, and group processes. Focusing on migrants' departures and arrivals in all continents, this comprehensive handbook explores the social dynamics of migration crises, with an emphasis on factors that propel these flows as well as the actors that play a role in classifying them and in addressing them. The volume is organized into nine sections. The first section provides a historical overview of the link between migration and crises. The second looks at how migration crises are constructed, while the third section contextualizes the causes and effects of protracted conflicts in producing crises. The fourth focuses on the role of climate and the environment in generating migration crises, while the fifth section examines these migratory flows in migration corridors and transit countries. The sixth section looks at policy responses to migratory flows, The last three sections look at the role media and visual culture, gender, and immigrant incorporation play in migration crises.

Download or read book Nomadic Subjects written by Rosi Braidotti and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2011-05-24 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than fifteen years, Nomadic Subjects has guided discourse in continental philosophy and feminist theory, exploring the constitution of contemporary subjectivity, especially the concept of difference within European philosophy and political theory. Rosi Braidotti's creative style vividly renders a productive crisis of modernity. From a feminist perspective, she recasts embodiment, sexual difference, and complex concepts through relations to technology, historical events, and popular culture. This thoroughly revised and expanded edition retains all but two of Braidotti's original essays, including her investigations into epistemology's relation to the "woman question;" feminism and biomedical ethics; European feminism; and the possible relations between American feminism and European politics and philosophy. A new piece integrates Deleuze and Guattari's concept of the "becoming-minoritarian" more deeply into modern democratic thought, and a chapter on methodology explains Braidotti's methods while engaging with her critics. A new introduction muses on Braidotti's provocative legacy.
