• Introduction
• Italian perspectives on the domestic implementation of international criminal law
• The adoption of domestic laws on international criminal justice : the German code of crimes against international law (völkerstrafgesetzbuch) and the global perspective
• Defining international crimes in the domestic legislation
• Individual criminal responsibility, sanctions and sentencing in the domestic legislation
• Immunities, jurisdiction and prosecutorial discretion.

"This book provides an essential and critical overview of the most significant issues concerning the domestication of international criminal law, in particular with regard to the implementation of the ICC Statute. It discusses the most recent proposals for reform of the German Code of Crimes under International Law, the "Völkerstrafgesetzbuch", 20 years after its entering into force and introduces the project for an Italian code of international crimes drafted by the Committee of experts established in 2022 by the Ministry of Justice. Following the adoption of the ICC Statute, many States, including Germany with the "Völkerstrafgesetzbuch", introduced specific legislation to incorporate international criminal law into their domestic legal systems and a considerable number of them have been investigating and prosecuting war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide, and even aggression ever since. Twenty-five years later, however, the process is not completed as other countries, like Italy, are still working on adopting provisions on international crimes. This book opens with a broad overview of the different approaches of the domestication of international criminal law, with a specific focus on the German and the Italian systems. After an assessment of the prerequisites for the domestic implementation of international criminal law, also from a constitutional law perspective, each chapter offers an in-depth analysis of a specific issue, such as: the definition of international crimes (genocide and crimes against humanity, war crimes and aggression); the applicability of and exceptions to the general principles of domestic criminal law; the regulation of individual criminal responsibility; sanctions and sentencing; as well as procedural aspects related to immunities, jurisdiction and prosecutorial discretion. The strong academic perspective of many authors is complemented by an equally strong practitioner perspective of the others, provided by legal scholars in the highest positions in international and national judicial institutions, resulting in a well-informed and critical appraisal of the most recent developments overall in the international criminal justice system"-- Provided by publisher.

• Introduction
• The rise of constitutional courts
• Historical background : the principle of separation of powers
• A traditional justification : legal certainty
• The justification of constitutional review : the sketch of an argument
• The special nature of constitutional discourse
• The structure of the constitutional conversation
• Overcoming judicial timidity
• The democratic objection to constitutional review
• Democratic checks on courts
• Decentralizing tendencies in the system
• The impact of the European Court of Justice
• The impact of the European Court of Human Rights
• Afterword.

In this book, Víctor Ferreres Comella contrasts the European "centralized" constitutional court model, in which one court system is used to adjudicate constitutional questions, with a decentralized model, such as that of the United States, in which courts deal with both constitutional and nonconstitutional questions. Comella’s systematic exploration of the reasons for and against the creation of constitutional courts is rich in detail and offers an ambitious theory to justify the European preference for them. Based on extensive research on eighteen European countries, Comella finds that centralized review fits well with the civil law tradition and structures of ordinary adjudication in those countries. Comella concludes that while the decentralized model works for the United States there is more than one way to preserve democratic values and that these values are best preserved in the parliamentary democracies of Europe through constitutional courts.

"Making a key contribution to the contemporary debate about methods in European legal research, this comprehensive book looks behind different methodologies to explore the institutional, disciplinary, and political conflicts that shape questions of 'method' or 'approach' in European legal scholarship. Offering a new perspective on the underlying politics of method, it identifies four core dimensions of methodological struggle in legal research - the politics of questions, the politics of answers, the politics of legal audiences, and the politics of the concept of law."-- Provided by publisher

"La mise en œuvre de la Convention européenne des droits de l’homme, qui implique une interaction permanente entre les institutions européennes et nationales, peut induire de véritables rapports de force et nuire au dialogue attendu. La Cour européenne des droits de l’homme repousse en permanence les limites de l’interprétation de certains droits, entraînant le mécontentement, parfois la confrontation assumée des États membres. Or, le caractère discrétionnaire des choix dont ils disposent pour trouver les moyens appropriés d’exécution des arrêts, pouvant permettre de concilier leur droit interne avec les obligations conventionnelles, s’avère en pratique limité, le refus d’exécuter un arrêt ou son exécution imparfaite étant considérés comme une violation du texte conventionnel. Une telle situation met en exergue l’inégalité des positions de chacune des parties au dialogue, qui s’est d’ailleurs accentuée ces deux dernières décennies grâce au développement exponentiel de la jurisprudence de la Cour de Strasbourg et au renforcement, en conséquence, de son autorité."-- Provided by publisher.

"Intellectual Property and Sports celebrates the enormous achievements of Professor Bernt Hugenholtz in the field of intellectual property and information law. Renowned intellectual property law expert Bernt Hugenholtz once warned, chiding the voracity of copyright, that reducing the subject matter test to mere originality and personal stamp might lead to ‘infinite expansion of the concept of the work of authorship. Anything touched by human hand, including for instance sports performances, would be deemed a work’. Focus on sports-related intellectual property issues offers an ideal starting point for exploring core questions on information law. Legal rules in sports and intellectual property evolve in a climate pervaded by powerful lobby pressures with new technologies that have a profound impact on developments in the sports arena. Indeed, the applicability of copyright law on sports events and players’ moves is one of the many topics discussed in this volume, which spans issues from those related to players and their performances and achievements, via those relevant to sports event organizers and clubs, to questions concerning event reporting and data and the growing role of AI technologies in sports"-- Provided by publisher.

• Introduction: Main features and challenges of the political system
• The Mechanisms of ethnic power-sharing
• The Legislature
• The Executive
• The Judiciary.

"The book describes and evaluates the status and functioning of the constitutional and governance systems of the Western Balkans countries (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Montenegro, Northern Macedonia, Serbia), with regard to their EU-accession. As it describes the main branches of government functions, it may also be used as a handbook, which also identifies the bottlenecks of governance (especially the sensitive ethnic power sharing and representation issues) and critically examines the rule of law aspects. This comparative study covers all six countries of the region systematically, in terms of governance and rule of law. The book presents all major institutional fields of constitutional and administrative law: electoral system, ethnic issues, organization of the state, separation of powers (legislative, executive, judiciary), administrative procedure, civil service, and constitutional adjudication" -- Provided by publisher.

• Introduction
• Ancient Greece and Rome
• The Middle Ages
• The early modern era
• Germany
• France
• England
• Liability for acts of the legislator in German scholarship and law
• Recognition of liability for acts of the legislator in French scholarship and law
• The dogma of lack of liability for acts of the legislator in English scholarship and law
• Concluding remarks.

"This book explores the historical foundations of holding public authorities accountable for their acts, and discusses how and why the idea that the state should or should not be held liable became established in three significant jurisdictions. The issue of state liability for legislative acts is considered one of the most difficult and controversial problems in jurisprudence. This book analyses the development of concepts and institutions of liability for the acts of legislator pertaining to the general principles of state liability until the mid-20th century in the leading European legal systems: Germany, France and Great Britain. It is shown that, in contrast to the prevailing conviction, the lack of liability for law-making instruments was not an unassailable dogma, and that questions as to whether such liability was possible were being asked from the Middle Ages onwards. The book will be a valuable resource for academics and researchers in the areas of Constitutional Law, Public Law, History of Law, History of Legal and Political Thought, Philosophy of Law, and Comparative Legal Studies"-- Provided by publisher.

• ntroduction
• Land and goods, movables and immovables
• Tax law : ˋnow you see they see them, now you don't!'
• Requirements of form for sales contracts in land
• A conceptual framework for the application of the distinction outside of property law
• Nursery plants, German Christmas trees and transplantation
• The distinction of land and goods in EU law
• Conclusion.

"The vast majority of national law expositions of the rules for determining when something is a part of land, and therefore partakes in its legal nature, or leads a separate existence in the other category of corporeal property, goods, leaves a distinct impression of a naturalistic approach to the categorisation of property. The view advocated in this study is that the accession or severance of things to and from land as a 'natural scientific enquiry' based exclusively on blends of physical attachment to or socially-expressed intention in respect of land is misleading, or, at least, not decisive. National law accounts of the rules governing the distinction of land and goods need recalibrating to take account of the purpose, or the legal reason, why land is being distinguished from goods in a particular situation. This is well illustrated by the straightforward example of standing timber, variously described doctrinally and in the case-law as integral parts of land, (presently-existing or future) goods, or even the object of 'flying freeholds'. Purpose of classification reveals the many nuances of competing policy considerations and, in turn, better reflects the law as it stands"-- Provided by publisher.

• Introduction
• History of fire insurance law
• History of life insurance law
• Conclusion.

"The thesis researches the influence of marine insurance law on the development of fire and life insurance law in the Dutch Republic (1581-1795). Fire and life insurance are often seen as offspring of marine insurance, following the latter's principles and rules ›mutatis mutandis‹. However, this theory of marine insurance as a single starting point for other types of insurance is rebutted by the various mutual fire insurance contracts found in the Zaanstreek and other parts of the Dutch Republic. This study reviews sources already known and hitherto unknown sources. As most of the sources consist of contracts, the research deals with insurance contract law. These contracts were concluded throughout the Dutch Republic at different times by varying parties. Therefore, instead of resorting to a uniform and doctrinal approach, the study takes on a casuistic approach. Instances of fire and life insurance are treated on a case-by-case basis within their own relevant circumstances"-- Provided by publisher.

• Developing the concept of torture / Andrea Carcano
• Purposes of torture / Andrea Carcano
• The prohibition of torture and state of necessity / Tullio Scovazzi
• The prohibition of torture and the surrender of suspected persons / Andrea Carcano and Tullio Scovazzi.

"This volume deals with the right of any individual not to be subjected to torture. Although almost universally prohibited, torture still manifests itself in the conduct of several States around the world, as well as, at times with perplexing frequency, within Member States of the Council of Europe. Tellingly in this regard, the ECtHR has, since its inception, entered numerous findings of torture (more than fifty). Keeping in mind the significance of this data and the importance of the effectiveness of the international legal prohibition of torture, this book examines and critically appraises the practice of the European Court of Human Rights on the prohibition of torture. Through this analysis of leading cases and the legal issues ensuing from them, this book explores the contribution of the European Court to the clarification of the applicable law, illustrating developments of legal significance, and exploring some still contentious issues, stressing the several achievements as well as some still questionable outcomes. The volume offers knowledge and analytical tools to students and researchers, but also to lawyers and practitioners as it collects in a single volume important portions of jurisprudence distilled from what are often lengthy and detailed judgments, followed by a reflection on the legal issues arising in a specific case or common to a number of them"-- Provided by publisher.

"This open access book asks whether there is space for particularism in a constitutional democracy which would limit the implementation of EU law. National identity claims are a key factor in shaping our times and the ongoing evolution of the European Union. To assess their impact this collection focuses on the jurisprudence of Czechia, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia, as they play an essential role in giving life to particularism. By taking particularism as the prism through which they explore the question, the contributors offer a new analytical scheme to evaluate the judicial invocation of identity. This requires an interdisciplinary approach: the study draws on comparative constitutional law, theory, comparative-empirical material and normative-philosophical perspectives. This is a fresh and thought-provoking new study on an increasingly important question in EU law"-- Provided by publisher.

Rıza Türmen, a former judge of the European Court of Human Rights and Işıl Kurnaz, a human rights lawyer and researcher of human rights law, discuss the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) and the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). While discussing the founding purpose, principles, functioning and current position of the Court, they draw a framework of human rights law by considering the articles of the ECHR in detail. They delve deeper into the rights recognized by the convention and the violations of these rights, with examples of cases and decisions concerning Turkey and other states party to the convention before the ECHR. Rather than pursuing an abstract discussion, they specifically examine democracy and human rights issues in Turkey.
