Compatibility of Latvian non-conviction-based confiscation with Convention on Human Rights

2022

Traditional “repressive” criminal law is no longer sufficient to deal with the new threats posed by the global risk and information society. New forms of combatting international organised crime, drug trafficking and other serious crimes have emerged to target the most crucial aspect of incitive of the criminals – their money. Deprivation of property illegally obtained is an essential tool for crimes and money laundering. It led to the question of whether it is by human rights to confiscate the proceeds of crime, detected merely, e.g., in the form of suspects’ unexplained wealth, under a concept of unjust enrichment and re-establishment of the situation before a crime, and to do so without …

AbstractThis chapter presents the COLAB model for promoting organisational learning and innovation with potential application in criminal justice-related organisations.

Abortion in Latin America. More Than Criminalization, Not Yet Women’s Constitutional Right

2018

Latin America abortion law is often categorized as seriously restricted. And this is so, partially. Abortion is criminalized if it does not fit in the legal indications (e.g. health risk, rape) contemplated. These indications have not only been one of the most innovative areas to expand access to legal abortion in the region in the last years – including rulings of high courts – but they also question the typical classification of Latin America as an extremely legal constrained setting. In fact, if we look closely at the world legal map, we find that only two countries have absolutely ruled out the use of criminal law to deal with voluntary abortion (Canada and few jurisdictions in Australi…

Not So Much Societal: The Catholic Church in Poland as a Veto Player

2021

George Tsebelis distinguished two forms of veto players’ actions: institutional and partisan. In a democracy, the Church is not able to play either role because it is not an element of the state’s institutional structure. This was the source for Simon Fink’s proposal to look at the Church as a societal veto player (VP). The case of Poland shows, however, that such an approach becomes inadequate in numerous situations. The Church’s influence on political parties, and particularly the state’s institutions, may be exerted outside society. Performed on the basis of the existing literature and political debates conducted since 1989, the analysis of the social and political reality of Poland all…

Remembrance of the historian Vicent Llombart

2017

Esta evocación muestra cómo la formación inicial que recibió Vicent Llombart en el Seminario de historia del pensamiento económico en la Universidad de Valencia fue decisiva, pero no suficiente, para entender una trayectoria rotunda por sus contribuciones. Su propósito decidido, su firme exigencia personal y su apertura intelectual permanente nos ayudan a comprender mejor a un gran historiador. This remembrance shows how the initial training that Vicent Llombart received at the Seminar on the History of Economic Thought at the University of Valencia was crucial, although not the only element, to understanding a prominent academic career with so relevant contributions. His determined purpose…

Plan S: challenges and opportunities in Spain

2019

Spain is one of the most active European countries in the open access (OA) movement. Although the gold route has scarcely been used, the green route has been intensively implemented through fulfilment of European and national mandates and the development of institutional policies. Plan S is becoming a disruptive element in the context of scientific communication, and Spain’s possible adherence to Plan S could imply technical challenges in journals and repositories, additional costs that are difficult to estimate, or refusal to accept the Plan on the part of researchers (based on the loss of freedom to choose the journal in which to publish). However, the implementation of Plan S in Spain wo…
