Principios que rigen la responsabilidad internacional penal por crímenes internacionales
2012
La responsabilidad internacional penal de los individuos se inscribe en el marco de la lucha contra la impunidad de los crímenes más graves y tiene por objeto la persecución y sanción de los criminales que se encuentran a la cabeza de la empresa criminal. Por lo tanto, responde a una serie de principios generales de derecho penal y de derecho internacional que han sido sometidos a una evolución constante por parte de la jurisprudencia internacional. El artículo que se presenta a continuación muestra tal evolución y el estado actual de la discusión en el marco del Estatuto de Roma.
Del escepticismo al entusiasmo en mediación penal, de la “Restorative Justice” a la “Reconstructive Justice” (Referencia especial al Estatuto Jurídic…
2014
Spanish Abstract: En la ya larga historia del Derecho Penal se ha venido anudando la ideologia politica y la concepcion de Estado con los postulados politicos y juridicos que conformaron en el Siglo XIX el denominado Derecho Penal clasico. Desde esos postulados el Derecho Penal asumia un papel retributivo, primero, y preventivo , despues, si bien la evolucion politica, juridica y social, e incluso economica, ha modulado algunos de aquellos postulados, incorporando, desde finales del Siglo XX, algunas practicas restaurativas. Asi, aun conservando respuestas preventivas mas o menos represiva, con ciertos tintes utilitaristas de la pena , la justicia restaurativa ha ido adentrandose en la mayo…
Combined Anchoring: Prosecution and defense claims as sequential anchors in the courtroom
2021
Purpose When making judgements under uncertainty not only lay people but also professional judges often rely on heuristics like a numerical anchor (e.g., a numerical sentencing demand) to generate a numerical response. As the prosecution has the privilege to present its demand first, some scholars have speculated about an anchoring���based unfair disadvantage for the defence (who has the last albeit less effective word in court). Despite the plausibility of this reasoning, it is based on a hitherto untested assumption that the first of two sequential anchors exerts a greater influence on a later judgement (a primacy effect). We argue that it is also conceivable that the last word in court h…
Zur Identität der Strafrechtswissenschaft in der Mehrebenen-Rechtsordnung
2014
The general scenario of the contemporary multi-level legal system raises several questions for the criminal law science, ranging from the relations between national and supra-national sources of law, to the interaction between different courts that, however, equally play a role in the protection of fundamental human rights. These new kinds of relationships among different legal sources and different courts are governed by new forms of mutual influence and interaction which are largely different from the traditional, deductive, mainly hierarchical, approaches. Upon clarifying the significance and the context in which these new relationships between the criminal law science and the multi-leve…
Integration of Pedagogical Knowledge in the Light of Questions about the Empirical Foundations of General Pedagogy and Understanding of the Concept o…
2018
The main purpose of the article is to show that the studies undertaken by pedagogues, regarding both the experimental foundations of pedagogy and generality, have some common points and that an in-depth reflection on those issues highlights the postulate to treat pedagogical knowledge in an integral manner. The first part presents the relationship between the issue of the empirical foundations of pedagogy and the problems of integrity of pedagogical knowledge; the second part – the relationship between the concept of generality and the problems of integrity, and the concluding part presents a proposed understanding of general pedagogy as integral pedagogy in which the approach towards both …
A premodern legacy: the "easy" criminalization of homosexual acts between women in the Finnish Penal Code of 1889.
1998
Homosexual acts between women were criminalized in Finland in the 1889 Penal Code which also criminalized men's homosexual acts for the first time explicitly in Finnish legislation. The inclusion of women in the Penal Code took place without much ado. In the article it is argued that the uncomplicated juxtaposing of men and women was due to the legacy of a cultural pattern where man and woman, as categories, were not in an all-pervasive polarity to each other, for example, in sexual subjectivity. A cultural pattern of low gender polarization was typical of preindustrial rural culture, and it can help us apprehend also certain other features in contemporary Finnish social and political life,…
Preparados para el desastre
2019
La actual crisis política y económica que atraviesa nuestra cotidianeidad supone también una crisis individual que afecta y pone en cuestión tanto las manifestaciones hacia el interior (subjetivas) como también hacia el exterior (de sociabilidad, de inter-subjetividad). Lo mencionado se agrava si tenemos en cuenta el complicado escenario de «colapso» al que nos abocamos según el consenso científico en materia medioambiental, entendido este como una especie de «punto cero» que podría desencadenar una catástrofe de consecuencias inimaginables. Ante este panorama, no son pocas las manifestaciones literarias o cinematográficas que en las últimas décadas se han encargado de asumir este colapso c…

Cultural Institutes – Enablers of Sustainable Development
2015
Abstract The primary goal of this study is to examine the role of culture - as one of the most enduring, vital and long-lived components of sustainable development, with multifarious potential continuously explored and capitalized by individuals, communities or institutions. All definitions of the phrase sustainable development include culture as a sine-qua-non element that is also inextricably connected and interdependent with the other three pillars: economic, social and environmental. In this context of cultural centres worldwide, Confucius Institutes represent a successful and efficient managerial model by capitalizing on the most important resource of an organization: human capital.
Sustainability and Care: On a Philosophical Contribution to the Project of Sustainability
2015
In this chapter, Hans Herlof Grelland argues that care is an inherent element in how we can see the world. It is included in our lifeworld perspective. By using Heidegger and Kierkegaard, Grelland thereby shows how sustainability and care can be argued from a philosophical perspective. This provides a thought-provoking introduction to concern or care, setting the scene for a strategy in philosophical terms which highlights the role of education. “Care implies responsibility, and awareness of this responsibility is the beginning of the change which has to come”.
