Victims and appeals at the International Criminal Court (ICC) : evaluation under international human rights standards
2021
Scholars have examined victim participation and reparations at the ICC. Nevertheless, no academic study focuses on victim participants and victims as parties (reparations claimants) in ICC appeals under international human rights law (IHRL) standards. This article seeks to: determine how victims’ roles as victim participants and parties (reparations claimants) take place in ICC appeals; and evaluate ICC’s law/practice on victims’ procedural roles/rights in appeals under IHRL. Victims at the ICC exercise procedural rights to: voice their views and concerns in appeals against final and interlocutory decisions (victim participants); and appeal reparations orders (parties). ICC’s law/practice o…
Victims at the Central African Republic's Special Criminal Court
2021
The Central African Republic's Special Criminal Court (SCC), the latest hybrid criminal tribunal, may be considered an important legal development concerning victims of mass atrocities in international criminal justice mechanisms due to certain characteristics. Yet there is no academic commentary on victims at the SCC; this piece seeks to fill the gap. First it considers restorative justice as a general framework for victims’ roles and rights in criminal justice in contexts of mass atrocities. Second, victim matters at the SCC are examined: victim protection, victims as civil parties, and reparations. Overall, this paper argues that provisions on victims’ roles and rights contained in SCC i…
The Indeterminacy of Precedent : Negotiating the Admissibility of Victim Participant Testimony before the International Criminal Court
2021
Abstract The icc represents a legal laboratory that is still consolidating itself, with multiple unclarities in evidence and procedural law requiring resolution through jurisprudence. Our paper draws on interaction analysis to unpack this process, focusing on the jurisprudential construction of ‘dual status’ victim participant testimony. To elucidate how this evidentiary/procedural element is locally negotiated, we examine an excerpt from the Ongwen hearing transcripts, in which the defense objects against the testimony by a dual status witness called by the victim participants’ legal representative. The analysis traces how the defense counsel’s objection is anchored in a trajectory of prio…
Pohjoismaisen Vastarintaliikkeen kieltäminen ja sen seuraukset
2020
Kansallissosialistisen Pohjoismaisen Vastarintaliikkeen toiminta on kielletty Suomessa. Järjestö vaikuttaa reagoineen kieltoon perustamalla uusia ryhmiä sekä hajauttamalla toimintaansa. Tulevan kehityksen kannalta merkityksellistä on, millaisia johtopäätöksiä viranomaiset tekevät järjestön kieltämisestä, sekä miten he reagoivat mahdollisiin yrityksiin jatkaa järjestön toimintaa. nonPeerReviewed
The Soldiers of Odin Finland : From a local movement to an international franchise
2019
This chapter analyzes the growth of the Soldier of Odin Finland from a local phenomenon to an international movement, exploring the reasons behind both the success of the SOO, and its later decline in Finland as well as internationally. Additionally, the chapter describes the connections of the SOO with the Finnish extreme right and competition they had with other street patrol organizations. It scrutinizes the rhetoric they use and the ideology they share, and analyzes profiles of SOO leaders in Finland. The chapter is based on data drawn from interviews with Soldiers of Odin and other street patrol groups, police and court files, and online observation. peerReviewed

The demand for IPR services - to use or not to use a professional representative
2021
We analysed the use of professional representative services and related outcomes in patent, utility model, design right and trademark filings. We found that: 1) there is a positive association between the use of a professional representative and the likelihood of grant or registration; 2) the demand for professional intellectual property rights (IPR) services is heterogeneous between IPR types: applicants are most likely to hire professional representatives (IPR agents and attorneys) for patents, followed by utility models, design rights and trademarks; 3) individual applicants are less likely to use professional representatives compared to firm applicants. peerReviewed
Pohjanmaan kaupunkien tuomareihin kohdistetut virkavirhesyytteet n. 1780-1880
2021
Oikeuslaitoksen toiminnan tehottomuuteen puututtiin 1700-luvun puolivälissä lukuisten valtiopäivävalitusten jälkeen. Vuosina 1761 ja 1766 annetut kuninkaalliset ohjauskirjeet tulivat viitoittamaan alioikeuksien valvontaa aina 1920-luvulle saakka. Hovioikeuden kanneviskaalin tehtävänä oli valvoa oman hovioikeuspiirinsä alioikeuksien toimintaa ja lainmukaisuutta. Vaasan hovioikeuden kanneviskaalin arkiston asiakirjat antavat mahdollisuuden tutkia vireille pantuja virkavirhesyytöksiä ja niistä annettuja päätöksiä ja tuomioita. Tutkimuksessa on käsitelty neljän Pohjanmaan kaupungin, Vaasan, Kokkolan, Oulun ja Tornion kaupunkien tuomareiden virkavirhesyytteitä viitenä ajanjaksona 1780-luvulta 18…
