JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Der Geheimhaltungskonflikt im Verwaltungsprozess:
Book SynopsisDie Geheimhaltungsbedürftigkeit von Akten stellt das verwaltungsprozessuale Informationssystem vor erhebliche Herausforderungen. Das Prozessrecht muss auf entstehende Geheimhaltungskonflikte reagieren und eine Interessengewichtung im Spannungsfeld von Rechtsschutzeffektivität, Gehörsrecht und Geheimnisschutz vornehmen. Mariamo Katharina Ilal vergleicht verschiedene Lösungsmodelle (Beweislast- und Verwertungsmodell) und zeichnet ihre Entwicklungslinien im Verwaltungsprozessrecht nach. Hierfür unternimmt sie insb. eine Rechtsprechungsanalyse anhand typischer Fallkonstellationen und beleuchtet so das Zusammenspiel und die Reibungsflächen zwischen gesetzgeberischer Modellwahl und gerichtlicher Modellanwendung. Das Vordringen des Verwertungsmodells im europäischen Rechtsraum gibt anschließend Anlass zur Untersuchung unionsrechtlicher Impulse für einen Modellwechsel im nationalen Verwaltungsprozessrecht.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Informationssicherheit
Book SynopsisDas Recht der Informationssicherheit berührt Grundfragen rechtsstaatlicher Regulierung unter den Bedingungen von Digitalisierung und Globalisierung: Wie wirkt territorial radiziertes Recht in der globalen Konstellation? Wie generiert der Staat in einem hochdynamischen technischen Umfeld Regulierungswissen? In welchem Verhältnis stehen Staat und Private? Diese Fragen erfahren im Angesicht von Cyberbedrohungen eine besondere Zuspitzung, ist die Gewährleistung von Sicherheit doch Kernfunktion von Staatlichkeit und Indikator staatlicher Souveränität. Vor diesem Hintergrund analysiert Thomas Wischmeyer die Dimensionen der Aufgabe Informationssicherheit und entwickelt dogmatische Bausteine eines Informationssicherheitsrechts. Dabei lotet er aus, inwieweit die Bemühungen des Staates um die Cybersicherheit mit seinen Bestrebungen kollidieren, Sicherheitslücken für eigene Zwecke zu nutzen.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Urheberrecht und Lauterkeitsrecht: Die Konkurrenz
Book SynopsisKollisionen von Regeln innerhalb der Rechts un ordnung sind nicht selten. Es bedarf einer einzelfallgerechten systematisch-teleologischen Interpretation, um Wertungseinheitlichkeit zu gewährleisten und so das Postulat der einheitlichen und folgerichtigen Rechtsordnung zu verwirklichen. Timmy Pielmeier nähert sich dem Schnittbereich von Urheber- und Lauterkeitsrecht zunächst aus methodologischer Perspektive und skizziert ein universelles Handwerkszeug zur Auflösung von Norm- und Normkomplexkollisionen. Unter Beschreibung der Zwecke beider Regelungskomplexe im Binnenmarkt wird deren Verhältnis mit Blick auf die einzelnen Unlauterkeitstatbestände in einem zweiten Schritt abstrakt bestimmt, um schließlich acht konkrete Fallgruppen im Licht der entwickelten Methode zu untersuchen.Die Arbeit wurde mit dem GRUR-Dissertationspreis 2022 in der Kategorie Marken-, Wettbewerbs- und Designrecht ausgezeichnet.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Digitale Daten als Beweismittel im Strafverfahren
Book SynopsisDie Digitalisierung durchdringt zunehmend alle Lebensbereiche. Dies hat zur Folge, dass immer mehr und immer genauere Informationen über Personen und Geschehnisse in digitaler Form vorliegen. Diese Daten sind auch für die Strafverfolgung von Bedeutung und werden von den Strafverfolgungsbehörden mittels verschiedener technischer Eingriffsmaßnahmen erhoben und von den Strafgerichten als Beweismittel verwertet. Die damit einhergehenden Grundrechtseingriffe müssen auf eine gesetzliche Rechtsgrundlage gestützt werden können und die Beweiswürdigung durch die Strafgerichte muss den Besonderheiten von digitalen Daten als Beweismittel Rechnung tragen. Christian Rückert untersucht, welche Vorgaben und Leitlinien sich dabei für die Erhebung, Verwertung und Beweiswürdigung von digitalen Daten im Strafverfahren aus dem Verfassungs-, Europa- und Strafprozessrecht ergeben.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Folgenabschätzungen für Verwaltungs-Algorithmen
Book SynopsisDie Verwaltung setzt zunehmend algorithmische Systeme ein. Ein Mittel, um mit den Risiken umzugehen und die Vorteile zu optimieren, können Folgenabschätzungen sein. Die Datenschutz-Folgenabschätzung nach Art. 35 DS-GVO bietet ein erstes Beispiel hierfür. Die geplante KI-Verordnung der EU sieht keine Folgenabschätzungen vor, mit dem Risikomanagementsystem und der Konformitätsbewertung kennt sie aber ähnliche Verfahren. Jonathan Dollinger untersucht, inwiefern die genannten Vorschriften einen tauglichen Rechtsrahmen für den KI-Einsatz in der Verwaltung darstellen. Dazu vergleicht er diesen Rechtsrahmen mit den Modellvorschriften des European Law Institute zu Folgenabschätzungen für Verwaltungs-Algorithmen sowie mit ausgewählten ausländischen Regelungen. Anschließend plädiert er für verwaltungsspezifische Folgenabschätzungen, die gegenüber den allgemeinen Vorschriften einen weiteren Prüfungsmaßstab und eine intensivere Öffentlichkeitsbeteiligung vorsehen.

Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG The UN Security Council Members' Responsibility to Protect: A Legal Analysis
Book SynopsisThis book examines the hard legal core, if any, of the “Responsibility to Protect (R2P)” concept with regard to the commitment to take collective action through the UN Security Council. It addresses the question of whether public international law establishes a duty on the part of the individual Security Council members to collectively take the necessary action to prevent atrocities (genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes and ethnic cleansing). To this end, it offers an interpretation of provisions in multilateral conventions, such as the undertaking to prevent genocide in Article 1 of the Genocide Convention and the undertaking to ensure respect for the Geneva Conventions in common Article 1 of the 1949 Geneva Conventions, analyses the UN Charter framework for Security Council action, and explores whether the recognition of the international responsibility to protect has prompted the emergence of a new norm for general international law.Table of Contents1 The Security Council and the Responsibility to Protect in the Age of New Wars.- 2 Legal Theory and Methodology.- 3 The Security Council and International Law.- 4 The International Law of Atrocity Crime Prevention.- 5 Multilateral Debates on R2P and the Protection of Civilians, and Their Impact on General and Treaty Law.- 6 Security Council Practice on Atrocity Crime Prevention Since the End of the Cold War.- 7 Conclusions.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Justice for Future Generations Climate Change and
Book SynopsisJustice for Future Generations breaks new ground by discussing what ethical obligations current generations have towards future generations in addressing the threat of climate change and how such obligations should be embodied in international law.Trade Review‘This book is easy to read and follow, providing a solid foundation for understanding environmental law in an international law context. Justice for Future Generations: Climate Change an International Law is a must have for every law library's environmental law collection. I would also recommend this book to those who care deeply about the environment and sustainability issues for future generations.’ -- Sharon Wang, Canadian Law Library Review‘Human-induced climate change is the most fiendish legal and policy problem ever faced by humanity, and our very survival as a species hinges on whether we respond effectively to it. Those who will feel the most acute effects of climate change will be our future generations. In this groundbreaking work, Peter Lawrence sets out the case for addressing climate change today in order to safeguard the welfare of future generations. Lawrence explains that this is not just an imperative of morality, or of survival, but is in fact a mandate of justice. Drawing on a wide range of philosophical and jurisprudential thinking, Lawrence distils core principles of justice to animate our efforts to mitigate climate change. This is an immensely important work, that will have a significant influence on how societies and governments conceptualise and respond to the climate problem.’ -- Timothy Stephens, University of Sydney, Australia‘Peter Lawrence’s book is an original and intellectually stimulating publication which raises complex questions of intergenerational equity and climate change. Both issues have been discussed separately in several important works but this book brings them together with fascinating results. Unlike many purely philosophical approaches, this monograph offers practical solutions based on the conclusion of a global treaty. Lawrence suggests difficult but workable solutions, based on ethical, legal and economic considerations, such as how a treaty would reconcile the long-term interests of developed and developing countries. Effective international law rules addressing climate change are fundamental for both humanity and global ecology and as Lawrence argues in his important book ‘building agreement on what justice means in this context is an essential part of the task.’ -- Malgosia Fitzmaurice, Queen Mary University of London, UK‘This is an extraordinary book that tackles the requirement, as laid down in the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, to save our climate for future generations. By approaching this requirement from various angles (international law, human rights, ethics, economics, etc.), Lawrence achieved a unique result: he succeeded in turning a vague aspirational norm into concrete actions that need to be taken by us today.’ -- Jonathan Verschuuren, Tilburg Sustainability Center and Tilburg Law School, the Netherlands‘Those interested in, or affected by environmental issues (and aren’t; we all?) should seek out this book. Researchers and policy makers in particular will be pleased, not to mention amazed, by the impressive bibliography of over twenty pages with its wealth of useful references.’ -- Phillip Taylor MBE and Elizabeth Taylor, The Barrister Magazine‘Peter Lawrence’s Justice for Future Generations: Climate Change and International Law is a welcome and timely addition to the field.’ -- Carbon and Climate Law ReviewTable of ContentsContents: 1.
