In dieser Arbeit geht es um den Vergleich von zwei unterschiedlichen Rechtssystemen: dem traditionellen Kanun bei den Albanern und dem modernen staatlichen Recht. Diese werden von Seiten zwei verschiedener Rechtsgebiete (dem zivil- und strafrechtlichen Bereich) in Albanien und im Kosovo behandelt. Das Strafrecht dient dabei dem Schutz von Rechtsgütern und kann im Kanun ebenso nach einem Ausgleich für eine Rechtsverletzung zwischen Privaten suchen (entweder Blutrache und oder Wiedergutmachung des Schadens). Hierbei werden passende Beispiele aus der Literatur, aus staatlichen Gerichten und aus Interviews mit außergerichtlichen Konfliktschlichtern und Ältesten angeführt. Des Weiteren werden die Mechanismen der außergerichtlichen Konfliktschlichtung dargestellt, wie sie in der Lebenspraxis angewandt sind, wie weit sie erfolgreich waren und ob sie es noch heutzutage sind. Dr. Islam Qerimi, LL.M., geboren 1967 in Dumnica e Poshtme (Kosovo), schloss sein Diplomstudium der Rechtswissenschaften an der Universität von Prishtina, sein Magisterstudium der Rechtswissenschaften an der Ruhr-Universität Bochum und sein Doktoratsstudium an der Rechtswissenschaftlichen Fakultät der Universität Wien erfolgreich ab. Außerdem hat er eine Ausbildung zum Mediator und systemischen Coach am Radius Institut für Kommunikation und Konfliktmanagement Lübeck erfolgreich absolviert. Bereits während der Tätigkeit des Dozenten im Kosovo sammelte der Autor umfassende theoretische und praktische Erfahrungen im Gewohnheitsrecht der Albaner. Fasziniert vom albanischen Gewohnheitsrecht und den Kanunen hielt sich der Autor mehrmals in Albanien auf, um die Besonderheiten des Kanun als Primärquelle des albanischen Gewohnheitsrechts kennenzulernen. Seine alltägliche Wahrnehmung in der Jugendzeit mit verschiedenen Aspekten des albanischen Gewohnheitsrechts motivierte ihn, sich der Thematik des vorliegenden Buches näher zu widmen.

In this paper, we discuss terrorism as an adversity to global security, with special emphasis on Kosovo. The presented data shows that today, terrorism poses a risk to more than half of the world's population. Although a small country, Kosovo, has not been left out of this negative societal phenomenon. More specifi cally, according to international reports, the threat and danger to Kosovo from Islamic extremism has increased; it is supported and partially funded by foreign organisations that propagate extremist ideology and violent extremist groups which use social networks in a very active way to propagate and recruit their followers. The data in this paper confirms that more than 400 Kosovar men, women, and children have travelled to areas of armed conflict in Syria and Iraq, having been recruited to fight for violent extremist groups. Therefore, the clear policies of the Government of the Republic of Kosovo addressed here suggest the government is aware of the seriousness of this threat which it is determined to prevent and combat this phenomenon by taking concrete steps in areas such as: legislative measures; mechanisms and planning for the prevention of and combat against terrorism as well as being proactive in the fight against terrorism.

Children is the most delicate and important category of a family and its future and as well as for the society in general. Therefore, the state with its mechanisms are obliged to take care in creating conditions for their upbringing and welfare by looking after the best interest of the child. In Kosovo, children and young people account for 60 per cent of the population. Therefore, it is of crucial importance to invest in the protection and promotion of their rights, regardless of whether they are in conflict or only in contact with the law. Thus, the legislation needs to be reformed and harmonised with best international standards and practices, which is also currently happening in Kosovo. ; Djeca su najosjetljiviji dio obitelji, važni i za budućnost obitelji i za društvo u cjelini. Stoga država ima obvezu upotrijebiti sve raspoložive mehanizme i pobrinuti se za stvaranje uvjeta za njihov odgoj i dobrobit u najboljem interesu djeteta. Na Kosovu djeca i mladi čine 60% populacije. Važno je stoga ulagati u zaštitu i promicanje njihovih prava bez obzira na to jesu li u sukobu ili u kontaktu sa zakonom. U tom smislu, nužna je reforma i harmonizacija zakonodavstva u skladu s najboljim međunarodnim standardima, što se trenutačno i provodi na Kosovu.

Nach einer wechselvollen Geschichte konnte der Kosovo nach Erlangung der Unabhängigkeit erstmals ein eigenes Straf- und Strafprozessrecht erlassen. Der folgende Beitrag beschreibt das geltende kosovarische Recht und untersucht es u.a. darauf hin, ob es den Vorgaben der Verfassung und der einschlägigen völkerrechtlichen Verträge entspricht. Beim Erlass des neuen Strafrechts scheint ein gravierendes Versäumnis des Gesetzgebers das "Vergessen" eines Delikts der fahrlässigen schweren Körperverletzung zu sein, obwohl ein solcher Tatbestand in dem vorangehenden StGB noch enthalten war. Das neue Strafprozessrecht wurde durch einige angelsächsische Elemente angereichert und entspricht im Wesentlichen den menschenrechtlichen Vorgaben der Verfassung und der EMRK. Für jugendliche Straftäter gilt ein besonderes Strafbemessungs- und Verfahrensrecht, das in einem eigenen Jugendgerichtsgesetzbuch niedergelegt ist. Die Regeln über die strafrechtliche Mediation können sich auf alte gewohnheitsrechtliche Traditionen der Streiterledigung stützen. ; Nakon svoje promjenjive povijesti Kosovo je moglo donijeti svoje vlastito kazneno i kazneno postupovno pravo tek nakon što je steklo neovisnost. Ovaj rad opisuje važeće kosovsko pravo te između ostalog istražuje je li ono u skladu sa smjernicama Ustava i odgovarajućim međunarodnim ugovorima. Čini se da je zakonodavac pri donošenju novog kaznenog prava propustio uključiti delikt nanošenja teške tjelesne ozljede nehajem, iako je takvo činjenično stanje postojalo u prijašnjem KZ. Novo kazneno postupovno pravo obogaćeno je nekolicinom elemenata iz anglosaksonskog prava i ono je uglavnom u skladu sa smjernicama Ustava glede ljudskih prava kao i s EKZLJP. Na mlade počinitelje kaznenih djela primjenjuje se posebno postupovno pravo kao i odmjeravanje kazni, a ono je sadržano u Zakonu o sudovima za mladež. Pravila o mirenju u kaznenim postupcima poduprta su starim običajnim tradicijama rješavanja sporova. ; After independence Kosovo could, for the first time in its history, enact its own criminal and criminal procedure law. This essay describes the present Kosovar law and analyses i.a. whether it is in harmony with the requirements of the Constitution and of pertinent international instruments. When the Kosovar parliament enacted the new Criminal Code it seems to have "forgotten" to include the crime of a negligent infliction of serious bodily harm although the previous code had contained such a clause. The new Criminal Procedure Code now contains some Anglo-Saxon elements and meets more or less the human rights requirements of the Constitution and the ECHR. Juvenile criminals fall under a special regime laid down in a separate Juvenile Justice Code. The rules on mediation in criminal matters are based on very old customary traditions of dispute resolution. ; In seguito alla sua mutevole storia il Kosovo poté introdurre il proprio diritto penale sostanziale e processuale appena dopo l'indipendenza. Il presente lavoro descrive il diritto kosovaro vigente e, tra l'altro, indaga se esso sia conforme agli orientamenti della Costituzione e dei relativi Trattati internazionali. Pare che il legislatore in occasione dell'introduzione della nuova disciplina del diritto penale abbia omesso di includervi il delitto di lesioni gravi colpose, benché tale stato di fatto esistesse nella precedente legislazione penale. Il nuovo diritto processuale penale è arricchito da un certo numero di elementi di derivazione anglosassone ed esso è perlopiù conforme agli orientamenti della Costituzione per quanto riguarda i diritti fondamentali, come pure alla CEDU. Nei confronti dei giovani autori di reati si applica un diritto processuale penale speciale, come anche per la comminazione della pena, che si trova nella Legge sui tribunali per la gioventù. Le regole sulla conciliazione nei procedimenti penali sono supportate da vecchie tradizioni consuetudinarie relative alla risoluzione delle controversie.
