Antisemitische Schmähobjekte - zur Frage eines Beseitigungsanspruchs nach § 1004 BGB am Beispiel des Wittenberger Sandsteinreliefs
Der BGH hat entschieden, dass die Persönlichkeitsrechtsverletzung durch eine historische Darstellung, die Jüdinnen und Juden verunglimpft, auch dadurch beseitigt werden kann, dass sich der Störer von dem Aussagegehalt der Darstellung distanziert und diese durch Kontextualisierung in eine Stätte der Mahnung und Erinnerung umwandelt. Marc-Philippe Weller und Greta Göbel erörtern die Erweiterung der Aktivlegitimation individueller Klägerinnen und Kl…
Elternschaft im Wandel
»From status to contract«. Diese berühmte Formel beschreibt die Entwicklung des 18./19. Jahrhunderts von der unterdrückenden Feudal- hin zu einer aufgeklärten Industriegesellschaft, von einem Status (als unfreie Person) zu einem Vertragsmodell, dem die autonome Person als Leitbild zugrunde liegt. Ist es heute an der Zeit, das überkommene Statusdenken im Familienrecht zu hinterfragen und um ein autonomes, vertragsbasiertes Modell der Elternschaft …

Antisemitismus - Antworten des Privatrechts
Die vor Frankfurter Gerichten verhandelte Weigerung der Fluggesellschaft Kuwait Airways, einen israelischen Passagier zu befördern, hat in der juristischen und gesellschaftlichen Diskussion hohe Wellen geschlagen. Der Fall unterstreicht die bislang kaum realisierte Relevanz des Privatrechts für die Bewältigung eines drängenden Problems unserer Zeit: Antisemitismus. Das Privatrecht muss - und kann - diesem Phänomen auf den Ebenen des Kollisions- u…

Regulierung der Leihmutterschaft
Aus ethischen Gründen und zum Schutz von Leihmutter und Kind ist die Leihmutterschaft in vielen Ländern verboten, so auch in Deutschland. Ob dieses strikte Verbot aus Sicht der Medizin, der Psychologie, der Soziologie und der Rechtsvergleichung gerechtfertigt oder aber - etwa in altruistischen Konstellationen - aufzulockern ist, wird in den vorliegenden Beiträgen zur Diskussion gestellt. Regulierungsbedarf besteht zumindest insofern, als immer me…

Vereinshaftung, Verbandsstrafen und Regress bei Zuschauerfehlverhalten. Zugleich Besprechung von BGH, Urteil v. 22. 9. 2016 - VII ZR 14/16
Der Beitrag beleuchtet zunächst die dreifache Haftung des Sportveranstalters: die Verkehrspflichthaftung, die Diskriminierungshaftung und die Pönalhaftung/ Verbandsstrafenhaftung des Vereins bei Ausschreitungen. In einem vierten Schritt wird die Regresshaftung des Störers gegenüber dem Verein diskutiert. Nach dem Urteil des BGH v. 22. 9. 2016 (JZ 2017, 262, in diesem Heft) haften Krawallmacher in den Stadien für die Verbandsstrafen, die den Fußba…
Vom Staat zum Menschen
This article draws attention to new methodological challenges posed by an increasingly globalized world: In modern European societies, individual interests are becoming more and more important, demanding private international law to no longer only determine the legal order closest connected to the respective case, but to consider individual interests and substantive arguments as well. To cope with these current developments, private international…

Bertram Lomfeld: Die Gründe des Vertrages
Massenmigration und Geschlechtergleichstellung im IPR
Das Internationale Privatrecht (IPR) steht in Zeiten großer Migrationsbewegungen vor neuen Herausforderungen. Diese machen es erforderlich, die klassische neutrale Mittlerrolle des IPR kritisch zu reflektieren. Das Kollisionsrecht kann durch Aufenthaltsanknüpfung und Rechtswahlfreiheit einen Beitrag zur erfolgreichen Integration von Migranten in die Gesellschaft leisten, ohne dabei deren kulturelle Identität in Frage zu stellen. Mit Blick auf die…
Use of Force
This chapter begins by explaining how international organization has always remained firmly wedded to the aim of controlling violence or war. It goes on to discuss the establishment of the League of Nations as an organization against war, which was followed by the creation of the United Nations organization as a system of collective security. It then considers the hierarchies within the organizations in relation to the use of force. While the UN …

Staatsnotstand bei Staatsanleihen Zugleich Besprechung von BGH, Urteil v. 24. 2. 2015 - XI ZR 193/14
Der BGH verneint in seinem neuen »Argentinien-Urteil« (JZ 2015, 1002, in diesem Heft) die Frage, ob ein Staat seinen privaten Anleihegläubigern die Einrede des Staatsnotstands entgegenhalten und so die Rückzahlung von Staatsanleihen verweigern kann. Dem ist zu widersprechen. Ein temporäres Leistungsverweigerungsrecht des Schuldnerstaates wegen Zahlungsnotstands ergibt sich zwar nicht über Art. 25 GG aus dem Völkergewohnheitsrecht, sehr wohl aber …

Die Grenze der Vertragstreue von (Krisen-)Staaten
In der gegenwärtigen Staatsschuldenkrise stellt sich die Frage, ob ein Schuldnerstaat seinen privaten Anleihegläubigern die Einrede des Staatsnotstandes entgegenhalten kann. Die herrschende Meinung lehnt dies ab. Dabei ist die Einrede des Staatsnotstands Ausdruck einer fundamentalen Rechtsgüter- und Pflichtenkollision: Auf der einen Seite steht der Anleihevertrag, die Bindung an das Wort, das Sich-Gebunden-Fühlen an seine Erklärung, kurz: die Ver…
Der Mietvertrag als enfant terrible der Privatrechtsdogmatik? Ein Systematisierungsversuch im Licht der allgemeinen Dauerschuld-Doktrin
Der Mietvertrag gilt als enfant terrible der Privatrechtsdogmatik. Dies verträgt sich freilich nicht mit dem Anspruch des Zivilrechts, durch dogmatische Kohärenz und innere Systemstimmigkeit zu überzeugen. Daher soll nachfolgend versucht werden, die Wohnraummiete in die allgemeine Dauerschuld-Dogmatik einzubetten. Von Bedeutung sind dabei die personale und die dingliche Dimension des Wohnraummietvertrages sowie die Intensivierung der Vertragstreu…
Modesty Can Be a Virtue
The Kosovo Advisory Opinion reaches its conclusions in what is admittedly a very condensed and swift way of reasoning. The Court did not expand upon the question that was put to it. However, it is unfair to criticize the Court for failing to address the very issues the drafters of the question carefully and deliberately did not ask. Moreover, the Court did in fact clarify a number of important points that go beyond the narrow question of the lawf…
The International Response to the Dissolution of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia
The Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia consisted of six republics (Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia-Hercegovina, Montenegro and Macedonia) and two autonomous regions (Kosovo and Vojvodina). Its overall population was recently estimated as 23.69 million. There were 8.14 million Serbs, 4.43 million Croats, 1.75 million Slovenes, 1.73 million Albanians, 1.34 million Macedonians and 1.22 million “Yugoslavs,” as well as a variety of other minor…
Settling Self-determination Conflicts
Self-determination conflicts outside the colonial context have previously appeared virtually impossible to settle. Long-running and very destructive internal armed conflicts have been the result. Since the termination of the Cold War, however, there has been a veritable wave of self-determination settlements. While some of these trade the claim to secession for internal autonomy in order to safeguard the territorial unity of the state, a number o…
The Rambouillet Conference on Kosovo
The Rambouillet process sought to re-establish autonomous governance and human rights for Kosovo, under the protection of the international community. However, the Kosovo authorities had committed themselves to outright independence while the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia consistently rejected any international interest in the affairs of Kosovo, which it considered an entirely domestic matter. To reconcile these irreconcilable views, an initial …
Undoing the global constitution
The adoption of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC) adopted in 1998, marked the culmination of the international constitutional law-making of the twentieth century. The Statute reflects a vision of an advanced universal legal order, administered through a process of multilayered international governance. In this article the author examines the key elements of this design, including the doctrine of universality of internatio…
Kosovo's final status
The Ahtisaari comprehensive proposal for a settlement of the status of Kosovo met with deadlock in the UN Security Council. It would neither be endorsed nor imposed upon the parties. In view of that position, a new round of negotiations, conducted by the EU, Russia and the US, was launched over a period of 120 days. During these discussions, Serbia's President Boris Tadic revealed a significant measure of flexibility when putting forwards options…

The Kuwait Crisis
The self-determination trap
This article deconstructs the classical doctrine of self-determination, asserting that it serves to disenfranchise populations, instead of enfranchising them. Accordingly, self-determination discourse is not likely to satisfy those struggling for sovereign statehood, resulting instead in prolonged and bloody internal armed conflicts. The article then considers new state practice that accepts the application of self-determination in the sense of s…

The Vienna negotiations on the final status for Kosovo
The Vienna negotiations on the final status for Kosovo were an impossible project. It was clear at the outset that both parties would not be able to find common ground on the status issue. However, the talks focused on the practical issues of governance in Kosovo, such as decentralization, community rights and cultural heritage. It was thought that these could be addressed, initially at least, in a status-neutral way. While the parties did not ma…

The US, Iraq and the use of force in a unipolar world
In Operation Desert Fox, and during the aerial bombardment of Iraq that has followed, the United States and the United Kingdom argued that they were acting to enforce the 'will' of the UN Security Council, that they were responding to a 'material breach' of the cease-fire that ended the 1991 Gulf War, and also that they were pre-empting Iraq's future potential use of weapons of mass destruction. Neither of the first two arguments stands up to leg…

Peace Lost
This book traces the failure of international action in Kosovo from the late 1980s until NATO intervention in 1999, and endeavours to explain why, during that time, so many opportunities for making peace were squandered. Applying methodology developed by the EU Conflict Prevention Network, it divides the conflict into four main phases and examines how, at each, chances for settlement were either lost or overlooked. It considers policy alternative…
