The Alternative War on Drugs Drug Evictions, Cannabis Regulation and the Legal Consequences of Adapting to the Limitations of Criminal Law in the Field of Drug Control Various scholars affirm that the criminal justice system has failed both to reduce drug consumption and to curb drug-related crime; they argue that the war on drugs is waning, and sputtering to close. However, Bruijn's research shows that the war on drugs changing, rather than waning. Countries have adapted to the constraints of the criminal justice system. Bruijn's thesis focuses on two of these adaptations: 1) the (re)regulation of cannabis in Canada and the Netherlands; and 2) the use of eviction to fight drug-related crime in the Netherlands and the United States. Bruijn used three different types of research methods to study these two developments: doctrinal legal research methods, comparative legal research methods and quantitative research methods. In her dissertation, Bruijn shows that the limitations of the criminal justice system have led several jurisdictions to liberalise or legalise the use, possession, sale and production of cannabis. In 2018, Canada became the first G7 country to officially allow the regulation of the entire cannabis market. The Netherlands drew away from a punitive prohibition style decades ago, by tolerating small-scale retail of cannabis in coffeeshops. The Dutch government recently decided to start an experiment with regulated cannabis cultivation in 2021. The UN drug conventions no longer appear to be an obstacle for both countries. To date, both countries have received international criticism for their liberal cannabis policies, but there have been no real repercussions. Another way of dealing with the failing criminal justice system is to use administrative and private law. Behind drug activities lies not only the threat of a criminal sanction, but also the threat of losing of one's home. A major advantage of the use of administrative and private law is that these areas of law provide fewer legal safeguards than criminal law. Bruijn's research shows that the protection offered to evictees in court cases about drug evictions in the Netherlands and the US, does not compensate this lack of legal safeguards. In fact, both the right to a fair trial and the right to housing are under severe pressure. The Netherlands and the US have adapted their fight against drug-related crime to the limitations of criminal law, but Bruijn's research shows that legal protection offered by human rights has not (yet) adapted to this alternative war on drugs.

Der erste Sammelband zentraler theoretischer Grundlagentexte postkolonialer und dekolonialer Rechtskritik sowie TWAIL in deutscher Übersetzung. Der theoretische Teil des Buchs wird ergänzt durch praxisbezogene Reflexionen von Aktivisten und Anwälten. Dadurch können die theoretischen Ansätze reflektiert, ergänzt oder herausgefordert werden. Durch die Bezüge zu konkreten Kämpfen um Recht, Macht, soziale Gerechtigkeit, materielle Gleichheit oder Ressourcen kann deutlich werden, inwiefern gegenwärtige Situationen von Ausbeutung und Ungleichheit Ausdruck und Folge konkreter historisch kontingenter Machtverhältnisse sind und im Hinblick auf die Prozesse der Kolonialisierung gelesen werden können. Das Buch versteht sich als Plattform kritischer Auseinandersetzung mit den enthaltenen Inhalten und zielt darauf ab epistemische Gewalt anzugehen. Es soll produktive Dialoge fördern und vorgeblich etablierte Grundannahmen (auch rechtstheoretischer Art) irritieren. Mit Beiträgen von Antony Anghie, Makau Mutua, Bhupinder Chimni, Silvia Rivera Cusicanqui, Maria Lugones, Martti Koskenniemi, Anne Orford, Tarcila Rivera Zea, Colin Gonsalves, Alejandra Ancheita, Simon Masodzi Chinyai, Rupert Hambira, Kamutuua Hosea Kandorozu, Wolfgang Kaleck, Karina Theurer

Developing country concern over awed special and differential treatment (S&D) provisions has already contributed to the failed Seattle and Cancún WTO Ministerial Meetings. In order to succeed, the current WTO Doha Development Round must go beyond simply reforming existing S&D provisions, important as that is. Developing countries must re-focus WTO trade and development policy around the twin goals of development and fairness. Developing countries need a comprehensive agreement on S&D clarifying that development, not trade liberalization, is the number one economic policy goal of developing countries, and that fairness, not charity, is the basis for development. Such an agreement should also establish adequate domestic policy space for minimally-distorting development policies; create binding and unconditional preferential market access; provide adequate time to implement complex new trade agreements; create truly "precise, effective and operational" S&D provisions; and adequately fund technical assistance.

Grund- und damit Ewigkeitsfragen des Rechts sind der Gegenstand dieser Aufsätze. Sie öffnen weitläufige Flanken zur Philosophie, insbesondere zur Ethik und zur politischen Philosophie, aber auch zu anderen philosophischen Sphären wie der Philosophie des Geistes und der Metaphysik. Im ersten Teil geht es um Grenzen der Rechtfertigung tödlicher Gewalt, die Staaten ausüben: in Kriegen gegeneinander, aber in Ausnahmelagen des innerstaatlichen Notstands auch gegen die eigenen Bürger.Eine legitime Form staatlicher Gewalt ist das Strafrecht. Lässt sich sein Begriff aus archaischen Wurzeln von Rache und Vergeltung erhellen? Setzt strafrechtliche Schuld den freien Willen des Täters voraus? Darf ihn das Recht wegen besonders gravierender Verbrechen als "Feind", statt als Bürger der Gesellschaft behandeln? Grundfragen, denen der zweite Teil nachgeht. Der dritte Teil fragt nach den Grenzen zwischen Leben und Tod in der Medizin und nach Zuständigkeit wie Berechtigung, darüber zu entscheiden

The employment of used vegetable oils (UVOs) as raw materials in key sectors as energy production or bio-lubricant synthesis represents one of the most relevant priorities in the European Union (EU) normative context. In many countries, the development of new production processes based on the circular economy model, as well as the definition of future energy and production targets, involve the utilization of wastes as raw material. In this context, the main currently applied EU regulations are presented and discussed. As in the EU, the general legislative process consists of the definition in each State Member of specific legislation, which transposes the EU indications. Two relevant countries are herein considered: Italy and Spain. Through the analysis of the conditions required in both countries for UVOs' collection, disposal, storage, and recycling, a wide panorama of the current situation is provided.

The article examines topical issues of legislation, theory and practice related to the regulation and implementa-tion of the institution of exemption from criminal liability on the example of reconciliation and compensation for harm caused as a result of committing a crime. Analysis of the current state, certain problems and prospects of this institution through the prism of correlation of reconciliation and compensation for the harm caused among themselves and with other conditions of exemption from criminal liability, the current law enforcement practice and existing doctrinal positions in this area are considered. The work uses dialectical, systemic, analytical, comparative legal and other methods. Based on the conducted research, the author suggests and substantiates specific directions for solving the identified problems, aimed at improving the effectiveness of the institution of exemption from criminal liability in general and its conditions such as reconciliation and compensation for harm, in particular.
