The Personal Nature of Individual Criminal Responsibility and the ICC Statute

2007

By affirming criminal responsibility of the individual, the ICC Statute recognizes a distinction from the international responsibility of states, which is the basis of modern international criminal law. The importance of the principle is evident not only in the breadth and analytical nature of the provision dealing with it, i.e. Article 25 of the Statute, but by its being placed in the part of the Statute devoted to the ‘General Principles of Criminal Law’. After an introductory consideration of the context of the Article and of its general implications, this article analyses the contents of the regulation and the type of responsibility outlined in it. The principle that emerges could be ca…

Proceso civil y penal ¿líquido? en el Siglo XXI (Civil and Criminal Procedure Liquid? In the XXI Century)

2017

Spanish Abstract: El paso de los anos y la consagracion de los modelos politicos democraticos y sociales permitio elevar el proceso a la categoria de instrumento del ejercicio del derecho fundamental al acceso a la Justicia; instrumento, cierto, pero instrumento imprescindible para alcanzar esta. Podria pensarse que, como sucediera a lo largo de los Siglos, el mundo cambia, se transforma y con el tambien la perspectiva formativa de los juristas, sin que deba verse mas alla de un cambio nominativo. La realidad, el panorama que vivimos hoy nos ofrece una busqueda desesperada de un modelo de Justicia en el que prima, de forma palmaria, la reduccion de costes para el erario publico. Esa vision …

MEDIACIÓN PENAL EN ESPAÑA Y ALEMANIA, ENTRE LA DOGMÁTICA Y LA REALIDAD (Criminal Mediation in Spain and Germany, Between the Dogmatic and the Reality)

2018

Spanish Abstract: Abordar el estudio de la mediacion penal en Espana y Alemania requiere referirse a las falencias y dificultades que ambos ordenamientos presentaron en la incorporacion de la justicia restaurativa y con ella de la mediacion. Si bien es cierto que Alemania introdujo la mediacion penal en el ordenamiento juridico y lo hizo estructural y legislativamente de forma modelica en teoria, tras un debate doctrinal en torno a la justicia restaurativa y tras la implantacion de diversos proyectos-piloto, no existia una cultura consensual, y estas tecnicas resultaban ajenas a la cultura juridica alemana. Tampoco Espana ha sido proclive a la mediacion ni, en general, a los medios extrajur…

Incentives, criminal defence lawyers and plea bargaining

2008

Plea bargaining has become a central feature of criminal procedure in Anglo-Saxon jurisdictions. This paper explores an area seldom discussed in the economic literature on plea bargaining: the influence of the defence lawyer's fee contract on the terms of the bargain. In particular, it uses data from one jurisdiction of the impact on case trajectories of changes in publicly funded defence lawyers’ contracts to test the proposition that the nature of the lawyer's contract influences how cases are managed. An event study methodology on a pooled time-series cross-section data set of case trajectories before and after the change in the nature of the contract is used to examine whether the new p…

LAS CONDENAS NEGOCIADAS EN EL PROCESO PENAL: ANÁLISIS TEÓRICO Y ECONÓMICO DE DOS MODELOS EN PUGNA. (NEGOTIATED SENTENCES IN CRIMINAL PROCEEDINGS: THE…

2021

Resumen: Las reformas procesales penales de las últimas décadas han introducido distintas formas mediante las cuales el imputado puede negociar la finalización del proceso. Dentro de ellas se pueden distinguir básicamente aquellas que involucran a la víctima y aquellas que involucran a la acusación pública. A lo largo de este trabajo analizaremos los lineamientos generales de los dos ejemplos paradigmáticos de salida negociada al proceso: la conciliación penal y el juicio abreviado. Veremos sus similitudes y diferencias tanto desde una perspectiva dogmática como de una perspectiva económica que nos permita analizar los incentivos que generan estos mecanismos y sus efectos sobre el bienestar…

Criminal Mediation as a Restorative Instrument for Victim: In All Cases and for All Victims?

2012

Insofar as the intention is to provide legal protection, to speak of victims and of certain victims in particular, implies recalling the obscure past that enveloped them with regard to their invisibility in the criminal system as a whole. Society assumed the burden of the criminal response, through the expropriation of the victims’ rights by the State in the interests of that social safeguard. We have for centuries accepted that it was what society required –it was the conquest of civilization, ending “an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth” and the lex talionis. That was the best solution, although the outcome of these responses to that situation, owing to frustration, disenchantment an…

MANIFESTACIONES DE JUSTICIA TERAPÉUTICA DERIVADAS DEL PRINCIPIO DE OPORTUNIDAD (II): MEDIACIÓN (Manifestations of Therapeutic Justice Arising Out of …

2019

Spanish Abstract: La sociedad actual vive un momento complejo, inquietante y paradojicamente contradictorio, en el que concurre una abracadabrante expansion masiva del Derecho Penal, que abandono su consideracion de ultima ratio hace ya algunas decadas para convertirse en la prima ratio. Una sociedad que sostiene una tension entre la tutela de la ciudadania y una sobredimensionada busqueda de la “seguridad”. Y es esa idea de la seguridad la que ha gestado enormes cambios en las normas penales, propulsando una imparable metamorfosis en la legislacion. Normas que se suceden a alta velocidad, germinando una suerte de anomia legislativa en muchos casos; normas que han incorporado nuevas modalid…

Criminal Mediation, an Instrument for Victim Visibility, a Component of Criminal Access to Justice

INFLUENCIA DE LA UNION EUROPEA E INSTANCIAS SUPRANACIONALES EN LA TUTELA PENAL DE LA VÍCTIMA, EN LA JUSTICIA RESTAURATIVA Y LA MEDIACION PENAL (Influ…

2019

Spanish Abstract: La larga historia del derecho penal y del proceso penal arrastra una palmaria ausencia de la victima, fruto de una concepcion ideologica politica, y en gran medida religiosa, que impregno siglos y siglos el significado mismo de la respuesta social penal. El transcurso del tiempo y muy probablemente los movimientos gestados en favor de las victimas han propiciado un cambio timido en sus origenes, sobre la decada de los anos setenta, si bien poco a poco consolidado, en gran medida fruto de los impulsos que desde instancias supranacionales se han efectuado, dando lugar a la adopcion de medidas que favorecen la incorporacion de la victima en el modelo de justicia penal moderno…
