Aus Sicht der DDR

This timely new volume brings together experts on the laws of war from academia, the military, and the NGO community to examine the issues surrounding September 11th and its aftermath, which have raised fundamental challenges to the existing corpus of international humanitarian law. The book features a thoughtful overview and discussion of the extent to which "new wars" call for new laws. The authors analyze specific topics pertaining to this theme, including the definition of armed conflict, the identification of military objectives, the meaning and application of the principle of proportionality in contemporary conflicts, the legitimacy of "targeted killings," the treatment of individuals detained in non-traditional armed conflicts, and the contemporary application of the law of occupation. Specific highlights include: Lt. Col. William K. Lietzau, National Defense University and former Special Advisor to the General Counsel of the Department of Defense (DoD), on when to apply the law of war and when to apply a law enforcement paradigm; Yoram Dinstein, Stockton Professor of International Law at the U.S. Naval War College, on proportionality; Crimes of War website editor Anthony Dworkin on due process problems in the anti-terror campaign; Ken Watkin, Visiting Fellow in the Human Rights Program at Harvard Law School, on targeting and assassination; and much more.

Die Arbeit gründet auf der Annahme, Rechtshilfe sei integraler Teil der Strafrechtspflege in Gestalt eines »international-arbeitsteiligen Strafverfahrens«. Damit müssten die Regeln des Strafprozesses Anwendung finden. Der Autor unterteilt diese in prozessunabhängige und innerprozessuale Schranken der Hoheitsgewalt; erstere schützten das Individuum per se und müssten in dem Staat, der einen Eingriff unmittelbar vornimmt, grundsätzlich Bestand haben. Umgekehrt seien innerprozessuale Schranken auf die weitere Entwicklung des Prozesses bezogene (vorweggenommene) Schranken der Wahrheitsfindung und deshalb dem Recht des verfahrensführenden Staates zu entnehmen. Damit lasse sich eine ausdifferenzierte Konkretisierung des »individualrechtlichen Benachteiligungsverbots« in der Rechtshilfe unmittelbar aus dem innerstaatlichen Prozessrecht ableiten. Die gegenseitige Anerkennung von strafrechtlichen Entscheidungen in der EU könne die so skizzierte Wahrung der Verfahrensbalance nicht sicherstellen. / »Reason and Limits of Transnational Criminal Justice« -- Judicial cooperation in criminal matters constitutes a single, collaborative criminal procedure. Based on this and on »the rationale that the international division of labour in prosecuting crimes must not be to the detriment of the apprehended person« (ICTR), the rights of this individual are to be deduced directly from the criminal procedure law of the States involved. The author infers conclusions for specific procedural measures and relates them to the EU principle of mutual recognition

The new neighborhood policy of the EU foreshadows a deepening of the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership. Here, we are attempting to assess the extent to which the European neighborhood policy would be able to respond to the necessities of development & the imperative political reforms facing EU southern partners, as well as its capability of providing some corrections in this process, for example, recognizing & acting on the right to development within a foundation of values & shared principles. On the other hand, the adoption of a strategic approach borrowed from the European economic sphere & pre-membership must also be recommended. Lastly, as a result, aid given at the corresponding level of communal skill & heritage, correlated with the integration of the four liberties (including the movement of people & agricultural products) may contribute to positive progression in neighborhood policy.
