Der Autor dieses Werkes analysiert die praktische Fragestellung, wer im Falle der Verletzung der Art. 101 und Art. 102 AEUV im Rahmen von kartellrechtlichen Schadensersatz- und Abwehransprüchen anspruchsberechtigt ist. Es wird zunächst untersucht, welche dogmatische Struktur die Ansprüche aufweisen und welche Elemente primärrechtlich zu beurteilen sind. Es schließt sich eine Funktionsanalyse der Art. 101 und Art. 102 AEUV und der kartellrechtlichen Ansprüche an. Im Hauptteil wird sodann unter Auswertung dieser Funktionen die Anspruchsberechtigung abstrakt bestimmt. Es werden die Auswirkungen von Verstößen gegen das europäische Kartellrecht dargestellt, was eine Typisierung von Geschädigten und eine Einordnung der Fallgruppen ermöglicht.

Angesichts der Vielzahl von Menschenrechtsverletzungen in multinationalen Unternehmen wird der Ruf nach einer Haftung des westlichen Unternehmens immer lauter. Die Frage, ob eine derartige Haftung bereits de lege lata besteht, wird regelmäßig nur fragmentarisch beantwortet. Diese Lücke schließt die Autorin mit ihrer Abhandlung zur Haftung multinationaler Konzerne für Menschenrechtsverletzungen. Die Autorin beschränkt sich dabei nicht auf die Außenhaftung der Muttergesellschaft, sondern untersucht ebenfalls, ob den Vorstand eine konzernübergreifende Compliance-Pflicht trifft, um Menschenrechtsverletzungen zu verhindern.Während in Deutschland die ausdrückliche Normierung einer derartigen Sorgfaltspflicht zwar angedacht wurde, aber noch nicht umgesetzt wurde, hat der französische Gesetzgeber bereits eine menschenrechtliche Überwachungspflicht geschaffen. Anhand dieses Gesetzes untersucht die Autorin, wie de lege ferenda eine Verantwortung multinationaler Unternehmen ausgestaltet werden könnte.

This exciting book gives an overview of environmental forensics and related topics with contributions from worldwide experts, 'Environmental forensics' is a combination of analytical and environmental chemistry, which is useful in the court room context. It therefore involves field analytical studies and both data interpretation and modelling connected with the attribution of pollution events to their causes. Recent decades have seen a burgeoning of legislation designed to protect the environment and, as the costs of environmental damage and clean-up are considerable, not only are there prosecutions by regulatory agencies, but the courts are also used as a means of adjudication of civil damage claims relating to environmental causes or environmental degradation. As a result is the increasing number of prosecutions of companies who have breached regulations for environmental protection and in civil claims relating to harm caused by excessive pollutant releases to the environment. Such cases can become extremely protracted as expert witnesses provide their sometimes conflicting interpretations of environmental measurement data and their meaning. It is in this context that environmental forensics is developing as a specialism, leading to greater formalisation of investigative methods which should lead to more definitive findings and less scope for experts to disagree. Now a significant subject in its own right, at least one journal devoted to the field and a number of degree courses have sprung up. As a result of the topicality and rapid growth of the subject area, is the publication of this book - the 26th volume in the highly acclaimed Issues in Environmental Science and Technology Series. This volume contains authoritative articles by a number of the leading practitioners across the globe in the environmental forensics field and aims to cover some of the main techniques and areas to which environmental forensics are being applied. The content is comprehensive and describes a number of the key areas within environmental forensics - topics covered by the authors include: - Source identification issues - Microbial techniques - Metal contamination and methods of assigning liability - The use of isotopes to determine sources and their applications - Molecular biological methods - Hydrocarbon fingerprinting techniques - Oil chemistry and key compound identification - The emerging role of environmental forensics in groundwater pollution Additionally, the volume considers specific pollutants and long-lived pollutants of groundwater such as halocarbons which have presented particular problems and which are described in some depth, as well as the way in which chemical degradation processes can lead to compositional changes which provide valuable information. The book provides a comprehensive overview of many of the key areas of environmental forensics written by some of the leading experts in the field. It will be both of specialist use to those seeking expert insights into the field and its capabilities as well as of more general interest to those involved in both environmental analytical science and environmental law

Was bedeutet es, aus dem Gefängnis entlassen zu werden? Und wie sehen die Lebensrealitäten haftentlassener Menschen aus? Die Autorin geht diesen Fragen nach und gibt einen anschaulichen Einblick in die kreativen, taktischen Versuche von Männern, sich nach ihrer Entlassung wieder ein bedeutungsvolles Leben aufzubauen. Dabei gilt es, mit den häufigen Handicaps von gesellschaftlicher Stigmatisierung und moralischer Verurteilung zurechtzukommen. Im Mittelpunkt der Analyse stehen die Lebensrealitäten einzelner Menschen - so ergibt sich ein dichtes Bild des Post-Gefängnis-Lebens abseits aller Stereotype und Vorurteile.

Das gestörte Verhältnis der DDR zu Zionismus und Staat Israel

Die Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit den systematischen Unterschieden und Gemeinsamkeiten der zivilrechtlichen Haftung für Kartellschäden im GWB einerseits und der Deliktshaftung des BGB andererseits. Hier treten Unterschiede zu Tage, da die Kartellhaftung durch Entwicklungen auf der europäischen Ebene immer weiter ausgedehnt wurde, um potentielle Kartelltäter durch eine hohe Haftungsandrohung vor Verstößen abzuschrecken ("private enforcement"). In das System der allgemeinen Deliktshaftung eingeordnet werden hier insbesondere die Anspruchsberechtigungen bloß mittelbar Kartellbetroffener innerhalb und außerhalb der Absatzkette sowie die Ersatzfähigkeit auch sehr weit von der Kartelltransaktion entfernt auftretender Schadensfolgen.
