Peter Lang AG Die Begruendungsmuster von
Book SynopsisDie Anordnung der Untersuchungshaft wird häufig als vorschnell oder ungerechtfertigt kritisiert. Diese Problematik erkannte der Gesetzgeber frühzeitig und trat ihr durch strenge normative Voraussetzungen und Begründungsanforderungen entgegen. Der Autor untersucht, ob die gesetzlichen Begründungsanforderungen in der Praxis erfüllt werden oder ob vielmehr auf allgemeine Begründungsmuster zurückgegriffen und damit eine einzelfallbezogene Begründung umgangen wird. Dies dient nicht nur der Ermittlung der Rechtswirklichkeit, sondern auch der Überprüfung der Begründungsanforderungen der Untersuchungshaft auf ihre rechtlichen und tatsächlichen Schwächen.

Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG Prosecuting International Crimes and Human Rights
Book SynopsisThis casebook addresses selected precedent-setting rulings of various international human rights and international criminal courts with a focus on the child victims of international crimes and human rights abuses. The cases are analysed from the children’s human rights perspective and the question is examined as to what extent the aforementioned courts are according these children justice. The scope of the book is thus limited to the consideration of these representative important cases concerning violations of (a) international human rights and humanitarian law and (b) international criminal law involving child victims and the judicial remedies accorded or denied these victims and their family members. This is not in any way to diminish the suffering and importance of the adult victims of violations of fundamental human rights and grave international crimes. Rather, the book is intended to deal with the restricted and largely neglected topic of to what extent international courts are attending to the implications of there being child victims with respect to the courts’ addressing and handling of, among other matters, the following: (a) the con?rmation of charges relating to child-speci?c international crimes (i. e. recruitment of child soldiers, forced child marriage etc.Table of ContentsAn Introduction to the Organizational Structure, Enabling Statutes or Conventions, Case Processing Procedure, and Jurisdiction of the International Courts.- The Inter-American Human Rights System.- European International Human Rights Court System.- The International Ad Hoc Criminal Courts of Rwanda and the Territory of the Former Yugoslavia.- The Special Court of Sierra Leone.- The International Criminal Court.- The International Human Rights Courts.- Inter-American Court of Human Rights.- European Court of Human Rights.- The International Ad Hoc Criminal Courts.- International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda.- International Tribunal for the Prosecution of Persons Responsible for Serious Violations of International Humanitarian Law Committed in the Territory of Former Yugoslavia Since 1991.- The International Hybrid Criminal Courts.- The Special Court for Sierra Leona.- The Special Court for Sierra Leona.- The International Criminal Court (The Hague).- Case 9: The Prosecutor v.

Brill Contact with Extraterrestrial Intelligence and
Book SynopsisIt is statistically unlikely that humans are the only intelligent species in the universe. Nothing about the others will be known until contact is made beyond a radio signal from space that merely tells us they existed when it was sent. That contact may occur tomorrow, in a hundred years, or never. If it does it will be a high-risk scenario for humanity. It may be peaceful or hostile. Relying on alien altruism and benign intentions is wishful thinking. We need to begin identifying as a planetary species, and develop a global consensus on how to respond in either scenario.Table of ContentsForeword Preface List of Figures Abbreviations 1 Introduction 1 An Initial Caveat: the ufo/uap Debate – the Elephant in the Room 2 Structure of the Book 2 The Scientific seti Environment 1 Introduction 1.1 The Drake Equation and the Fermi Paradox 1.1.1 Drake Equation 1.1.2 Fermi Paradox 2 Anthropocentrism and Morphism 3 seti Approaches and the Nature of Contact 4 Astrobiology 3 Social Science Aspects of seti 1 Gauging the Risk and Impact of First Contact on Global Society 1.1 The Rio and San Marino Scales 1.2 iaaseti Declarations of Principles 1.3 Excursion: iaaseti and Its Attitude to Research Into uap 1.4 The disc Quotient – Linking Impact and Linguistics 2 Exolinguistics 3 Exosociology, Exophilosophy and Exotheology 4 The Metalaw Debate – Premature Speculation and Proper Use of Legal Considerations 5 Conclusion 4 Science Fiction and (First) Contact Scenarios 1 Science Fiction Literature 2 Types of First Contact 2.1 The Hercules Text 2.2 The Rama Cycle – Rama i and ii 2.3 The Tripods Tetralogy and the Forge of God 2.3.1 The Tripods 2.3.2 The Forge of God 2.4 The Mote in God’s Eye 2.5 The Three-Body Problem as an Example of the Risk Inherent in meti 3 Interspecies Comprehension and Communication 3.1 Rama iii and iv 3.2 Semiosis 3.3 Children of Time and Children of Ruin 4 Interspecies Armed Conflict 4.1 Ender’s Game 4.2 The Forever War, Starship Troopers, Old Man’s War Trilogy, and Anvil of Stars 5 Conclusion 5 Hostile Contact and Current International and Domestic Law 1 Introduction 2 Liability of Humans 2.1 International Criminal Law 2.1.1 Overview of Core Crimes 2.1.2 Individual Problems 2.2 Domestic Law 3 Liability of ETI 3.1 Jurisdiction 3.2 Nullum Crimen Principle 4 Conclusion 6 Preparing for Hostile Contact 1 Introduction 2 Weapons Technology 3 Strategy and Tactics 3.1 Weapons Development and Deep Space Strategy 3.2 The Strategic Parameters of Deep Space Warfare 3.2.1 Distances, Speeds, and Celestial Mechanics 3.2.2 Psychological Aspects 4 Conclusion: an End to the Idea of a Peaceful Use of Outer Space? 7 Legal Prolegomena of Peaceful Relationships with eti 1 Introduction 2 Joining the “Galactic Club” – a Future Theory of Humans’ Rights Protection in Interstellar Civilisation Networks? 2.1 Overview of Possible Factors Affecting Human Rights Guarantees 2.1.1 Network Regulation Density 2.1.2 Rights Hierarchies and Enforcement Mechanisms 2.2 Individual Rights 2.2.1 Preamble 2.2.2 Recognition as a Person before the Law 2.2.2 Self-determination, Political Activity 2.2.4 Equality and Minority Rights 2.2.5 Right to Life, Ban on Cruel and Degrading Treatment, Torture and Slavery 2.2.6 Due Process Rights, Right to Liberty 2.2.7 Freedom of Movement 2.2.8 Privacy, Freedom of Religion and Expression, Assembly and Association 2.2.9 Family and Personal Status; Child Rights 2.2.10 Restrictions on Exercise of Rights 3 Conclusion 8 Conclusion and Outlook Epilogue by Dr. Andreas Anton Annexes Bibliography Index

T.M.C. Asser Press Humanness as a Protected Legal Interest of Crimes
Book SynopsisCentral to this book is the concept of humanity in international law. It traces the evolution of that concept within international law, studies the existing theories of crimes against humanity, and lays out its own theory based on an inclusive view of “humanity”. Crimes against humanity are core crimes under international law; their modern definition is found in the Rome Statute. However, their protective scope remains unclear, with the exact meaning of “humanity” left undefined in law.The proposed theory argues that “humanity” should be understood as “humanness” and crimes against humanity should be criminalised because humanness constitutes these crimes’ valid protected interest. This volume in the International Criminal Justice Series offers an analysis of the German doctrine of Rechtsgut to justify the penalization of crimes against humanity at both domestic and international levels.This is the first monograph on crimes against humanity written by an author from the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) aimed at an international audience, and should constitute a useful tool for academics, students and practitioners of international law.Rustam Atadjanov, LLB, LLM, Dr.jur., attained his Ph.D. at the University of Hamburg in Germany and is a former Legal Adviser to the Regional Delegation of the International Committee of the Red Cross in Central Asia, Tashkent, Uzbekistan.Table of ContentsIntroduction.- Main Substantive Terms, Their Basic Differences and Links, and Leading Working Hypothesis.- Historical Overview of the Development of the Concept of Humanityin International Law and Crimes against Humanity.- “Humanity” within the Contemporary Context of International Law Dealing with Crimes against Humanity.-“Humanity” as a Valid Protected Interest under the Rechtsgutstheorie.- The Protected Legal Interests of Crimes against Humanity and Other Core Crimes under International Law: A Comparative Analysis.- Conclusion.

T.M.C. Asser Press International Criminal Law—A Counter-Hegemonic
Book SynopsisThis book enquires into the counter-hegemonic capacity of international criminal justice. It highlights perspectives and themes that have thus far often been neglected in the scholarship on (critical approaches to) international criminal justice.Can international criminal justice be viewed as a ‘counter-hegemonic’ project? And if so, under what conditions? In response to these questions, scholars and practitioners from the Global South and North reflect inter alia on the engagement with international criminal justice in the context of Ukraine, Palestine, and minorities in South-Asia while also highlighting the hegemonic tendencies built into the institutional structure of the International Criminal Court on the axes of gender and language.

Leonie Steinl is a Senior Lecturer in Criminal Law at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Germany.
