An interpretation of Finnish religious nationalism: the fourtopoiof theological depoliticisation
2009
. The topic of this article is the relation between ‘politicality’ and theology in the discourse of Finnish religious nationalism during the Winter War of 1939–40 and the Continuation War of 1941–44. I shall draw on the ideas of Kari Palonen and Anthony D. Smith in attempting to thematise theological depoliticisation as an intrinsic element of religious nationalism. Also, I will elaborate its political significance in the Finnish context, where the role of traditional religion in the general development of nationalist thought has been particularly important. The specific focus is on how prominent representatives of the Finnish clergy related to war and nationalist claims in general. My inte…
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
2018
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…
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…
MEDIACIÓN POST SENTENTIAM EN DELITOS DE TERRORISMO. DE LA RESTORATIVE JUSTICE A LA RECONSTRUCTIVE JUSTICE (Especial referencia a los encuentros entre…
2016
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 mayor …
Resíduos sólidos e crime de poluição: avanços e retrocessos na legislação e na jurisprudência italianas
2020
O presente artigo apresenta a evolução normativa e jurisprudencial envolvendo crimes de poluição por resíduos sólidos na Itália, país que possui tradição no trato de condutas ilícitas ligadas à denominada Ecomáfia. A pesquisa foi orientada pelo método funcionalista e as técnicas de pesquisa utilizadas foram bibliográfica e jurisprudencial. Embora a evolução da legislação penal ambiental na Itália tenha focado mais a questão dos resíduos do que o Brasil, observam-se dificuldades em comum, como a deficiência na apuração dos crimes, a demora nos julgamentos com a consequente possibilidade de reconhecimento da prescrição e as falhas da legislação que permitem aos infratores evitar as condenaçõe…
Quelques problèmes d'analyse de la délinquance juvénile à la fin du XIXe siècle. L'exemple parisien
2012
La question de la déviance des jeunes a donné naissance à nombre de travaux historiques. Dans le cadre des recherches initiées, depuis deux décennies, par Michelle Perrot et Jacques-Guy Petit sur le « système pénitentiaire », l’étude des colonies de jeunes détenus constitue un des champs privilégiés de l’exploration des diverses formes de l’emprisonnement. Force est de constater que les recherches sont moins nombreuses sur les décisions judiciaires qui conduisent ces jeunes en maison de corre...
The Romanian Prezidentialized Consultative Referendum. Eating Apples from a Poisonous Tree? Personal and Teleological Interpretations
2019
Abstract Through this article, we propose an (original) analytical approach on the consultative referendum of May 2019 and a wider critical landscape regarding the consultative referendum institution by enforcing a teleological interpretation. In this sense, we propose three sections. We will start with a short overview on the use of the consultative referendum in the recent years of Romanian democracy. In the second section we will focus on the consultative referendum from 26 May, 2019. In the third section we will ask the Founding Fathers of the Constitution for an “opinion” regarding the possibilities and impossibilities of the consultative referendum.
Sanctions for Legal Entities in South American and European Systems of Corporate Criminal Liability
2021
The present analysis of sanctions for cases of liability of legal entities for crimes (corporate criminal liability) adopts a two-fold comparative perspective. First, it focuses on the sanctions provided by the laws of those legal systems, in South America, which introduced such liability, especially in the last two decades after the United Nations’ treaties on organized crime and corruption. Then, it continues with a parallel overview of sanctioning choices in those Member States of the European Union which opted for such liability. The analysis highlights similar and different approaches both in the two contexts and within each of them. Overall, a process of “weak harmonization” of sancti…
