From Description to Meaning – Epistemological Problems of Scientific UAP Research and Ethics of Contact
Modern research into Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) embraces almost exclusively the methods of natural science; the times from the last century of the reliance on witness testimony about sightings of UFOs, leave alone experiencer and abduction narratives, seem to be over. They are considered too unreliable. Instrumental data, material testing, and experimental replicability are the champion concepts of the new search effort. However, this…
Public Health Crisis Management and Criminal Liability of Governments: A Comparative Study of the Covid-19 Pandemic
Government responses to the COVID-19 pandemic differed vastly in terms of both the choice of strategies adopted (herd immunity, test-and-trace, lockdown, etc) and the quality and speed of government implementation of those strategies and associated interventions. Both factors impacted the number of infections and casualties. It is not outlandish to consider forms of criminal liability for failure of individual members of government, including spe…
Principles of German Criminal Procedure
The book aims to outline the fundamental aspects of the German approach to criminal procedure; it is meant as a companion volume to the author’s other publications on German Criminal Law, The German Criminal Code – A Modern English Translation, Principles of German Criminal Law, both with Hart, and the 2014 translation of Thomas Vormbaum’s A Modern History of German Criminal Law with Springer. The chapters cover a wide range of issues from settin…

A Modern History of German Criminal Law
Language, Culture, Legal Traditions, and International Criminal Justice
Our view of the world is to a large degree a function of our own language and culture. English has become the lingua franca in international legal academic and practical dialogue, and there is a related concern that the Englishor its direct descendant, Anglo-Americanintellectual and legal culture has drawn a thick veneer over the canvas of international criminal law as well. The differences in linguistic and cultural influence need attention as t…
Political Islam and Non-Muslim Religions: A Lesson from Lessing for the Arab Transition
Hardly any region has recently captured the global geopolitical imagination as much as the Arab world after the so-called Arab Spring and very likely no state more so than Egypt. Finally it seemed that democracy was coming to the region, that this would spell the end of radical Islam, and of any local aspirations of creating Islamic states, and mark the beginning of a rapprochement between East and West. This article analyses and links those dyna…

Principles of German Criminal Procedure
The book aims to outlinie the fundamental aspects of the German approach to criminal procedure; it is meant as a companion volume to the author’s earlier publications, ‘The German Criminal Code – A Modern English Translation’, and ‘Principles of German Criminal Law’, also with Hart. In appropriate cases, comparisons to English and Welsh law have been drawn. The chapters cover a wide range of issues from setting out the basic procedural principles…
Radbruch Redux: The Need for Revisiting the Conversation between Common and Civil Law at Root Level at the Example of International Criminal Justice
International criminal justice is based to a large extent on extrapolations from criminal-law research on domestic systems. The difficult exercise of arriving at a common denominator is exacerbated by the systemic dichotomy of the so-called common-law and civil-law models, which, in turn, have now been joined by a third contender: public international law. Each of these has its own methods of approaching the task of solving legal problems. This p…

I.Referring an indictment from the Icty and ICTR to another court—Rule 11 bis and the consequences for the law of extradition
In the wake of their so-called ‘completion strategies’, 1 both the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and for Rwanda (ICTR), creations of the UN Security Council under Chapter VII of the UN Charter, have for some time grappled with the question of how to unclog their congested dockets and dispose of those accused which are generally viewed as ‘small fry’. The fact that many of the accused have had to spend very long,…

Settlement of Property Claims in Former East Germany
The reunification of Germany on 3 October 1990 was a political milestone for Europe (Harris 1991; Murphy 1991). It marked not only the end of an era dominated by two German states with radically different political and economic philosophies but also the end of the wider divisions of the cold war. In many ways the dismantling of the Berlin Wall and the subsequent official reunification initiated a rewriting of the geography of central Europe. Cont…
