Remissvar: Psykiatrin Och Lagen – Tvångsvård, Straffansvar Och Samhällsskydd (Sou 2012:17), Titti Mattsson, Ulrika Andersson, Sverker Jönsson, Anna Nilsson Nov 2012

Remissvar: Psykiatrin Och Lagen – Tvångsvård, Straffansvar Och Samhällsskydd (Sou 2012:17), Titti Mattsson, Ulrika Andersson, Sverker Jönsson, Anna Nilsson

Anna Nilsson

Psykiatrilagsutredningens betänkande behandlar grundläggande frågor om vård, tvång, och straffrättslig ansvarsförmåga. Det handlar bl.a. om vem som kan samtycka till vård och behandling, när samhället kan tillgripa tvång för att förhindra någon från att skada sig själv eller annan. Det handlar också om vem som ska anses har förmåga att bära straffrättsligt ansvar för sina handlingar och de rättsliga följderna av (o)tillräknelighet. Samtliga är angelägna frågeställningar. En negativ konsekvens av att centrala straffrättsliga frågor behandlas i relation till personer med psykiska funktionsnedsättningar är emellertid att perspektivet blir alltför snävt i ett socialrättsligt perspektiv. Det saknas principiella överväganden om huruvida och …

The Future Of Universal Jurisdiction In The New Architecture Of Transnational Justice, Diane Orentlicher Oct 2012

The Future Of Universal Jurisdiction In The New Architecture Of Transnational Justice, Diane Orentlicher

Diane Orentlicher

In this essay the author addresses several issues raised by emerging trends in the use of universal jurisdiction. She argues that recent developments raise concerns about how jurisdictional authority should be allocated among states as well as between officials of states and officers of international tribunals. Growing recourse to universal jurisdiction raises questions about whose claim should receive priority when more than one court seeks to prosecute an individual for the same crime. The question has been further complicated by the emergence of a new breed of court, such as the Special Court for Sierra Leone, which is shaped by …


Title Experiential Education And The Rule Of Law: Teaching Values Through Clinical Education In China, Elliott Milstein Oct 2012

Title Experiential Education And The Rule Of Law: Teaching Values Through Clinical Education In China, Elliott Milstein

Elliot Milstein

The author summarizes his discussions with Chinese law professors regarding the issues that separate American from Chinese attitudes in creating clinical legal education. The author observes that the baseline orientation of American lawyers to turn to the courts for redress is usually not the same for the Chinese, where bribery of judges is accepted. He also notes that in addition to teaching practical skills such as client interviewing and persuasive advocacy, American clinicians devote attention to value questions, such as client-centeredness, the demands and limits of zealous advocacy, and the commitment to bring about social justice. The inclusion of these …

Bilateral Readmission Agreements And Refugee Rights: From A Critique To A Proposal, Mariagiulia Giuffré Sep 2012

Bilateral Readmission Agreements And Refugee Rights: From A Critique To A Proposal, Mariagiulia Giuffré

Mariagiulia Giuffré

Against the backdrop of the bilateral cooperation on migration control between EU Member States and third countries, this paper examines whether the implementation of readmission agreements (key tools in this context) hampers access to international protection for asylum seekers subjected to a return procedure. Given that competence in the ‘Area of Freedom, Security, and Justice’ remains shared, the EU and Member States continue to pursue their readmission procedures in parallel. This paper focuses on the bilateral arrangements of individual Member States with third countries, which constitute the bulk of the instruments in this field. It concludes that no issue of …

The Development Of The New Chinese Banking System: Domestic Modernization Or Global Financial Manipulation?, Shruti Rana Jan 2012

The Development Of The New Chinese Banking System: Domestic Modernization Or Global Financial Manipulation?, Shruti Rana

Shruti Rana

Over the last two decades the Chinese government has conducted an unprecedented and rapid transformation of its banking system. These changes are especially noteworthy because they are emerging against a backdrop of great global, as well as internal, financial turmoil. Moreover, the Chinese banking transformation is picking up steam at the very time China is increasingly flexing its political muscle on the global stage. These remarks argue that the current internal transformation of the Chinese banking system is inextricably intertwined with China’s rise in the global financial arena. They further argue that China’s unique banking structure and recent experiences can …

Aftermath: Deportation Law And The New American Diaspora, Daniel Kanstroom Dec 2011

Aftermath: Deportation Law And The New American Diaspora, Daniel Kanstroom

Daniel Kanstroom

Since the passage of harsh new deportation laws in 1996, the United States has deported millions of noncitizens--many undocumented, but many others long-term legal residents with U.S. families--back to their countries of origin. The early Obama administration continued such aggressive deportation policies. But few know that once deportees have been expelled to places like Guatemala, Cambodia, Haiti, and El Salvador, many face severe isolation, alienation, persecution and, sometimes, death. Many may never be able to return. Daniel Kanstroom--author of the authoritative history of deportation, Deportation Nation--turns his attention in Aftermath to the current U.S. system and deportation's actual effects on …
