Making Whistleblowers Whole

2026-07-10T08:22:16+00:00

If ever there was a time in history in which whistleblowers have taken center stage, it has been the past two years. From COVID-19 to Trump’s first impeachment trial, whistleblowers have played a vital role in bringing to light information otherwise impossible to obtain. While the value that whistleblowers bring to government, organizations, and society has always been immeasurable, it is still the case that whistleblowers ultimately suffer a disastrous fate. They have made the decision to speak[...]

2026-07-10T07:18:35+00:00

The paper covers issues concerned with the postmortem conception of a dead husband’s semen as a particular example of medically assisted procreation. For this purpose it examines the possible varieties of postmortem conception with legal and factual circumstances of entities who are participating in such a procedure. Ethical aspects and questions which arise from allowing or prohibiting postmortem conception are also described. The paper presents important issues which postmortem conception caus[...]

Current Controversies in Prenatal Diagnosis 2: Conventional Postmortem Examination Remains the Gold Standard for the Anatomical Examination of Fetal Loss

2026-07-10T05:52:45+00:00

A comprehensive postmortem examination is an essential component of a work-up after stillbirth. Its findings can support accurate counseling of parents about causes and risk of recurrence. It also supports providers' decisions about most appropriate testing and management plans for future pregnancy to prevent recurrence. Informing parents about fetal autopsy and obtaining their consent is challenging, and conducting a fetal autopsy requires expertise that is, not universally available. Newer non[...]

Assessing International Criminal Justice in Guatemala: Evolutions and Ongoing Challenges

2026-07-09T23:51:57+00:00

This article examines the codification of international crimes in domestic law, the prosecution of international crimes committed during Guatemala’s Internal Armed Conflict, and the challenges in implementing the Rome Statute for the International Criminal Court (icc). It underscores the essential role of civil society in the fight against impunity through strategic litigation and memory initiatives, thus contributing to advances in justice. It exposes the impact of Inter-American Court of Human[...]

The Urgency of Criminalizing Stalking and Its Offense Formulation

2026-07-09T15:30:20+00:00

In the digital age, issues related to privacy invasion, repetitive monitoring, and harassment have become increasingly prevalent. One of the most concerning manifestations of these issues is stalking, a pattern of persistent, unwanted behavior that leaves victims feeling threatened, disturbed, and emotionally distressed. As technology advances, opportunities for stalking have expanded, particularly through digital platforms, which enable stalkers to monitor, contact, and manipulate victims more [...]

Normal pediatric postmortem CT appearances

2026-07-09T05:53:17+00:00

Postmortem radiology is a rapidly developing specialty that is increasingly used as an adjunct to or substitute for conventional autopsy. The goal is to find patterns of disease and possibly the cause of death. Postmortem CT images bring to light processes of decomposition most radiologists are unfamiliar with. These postmortem changes, such as the formation of gas and edema, should not be mistaken for pathological processes that occur in living persons. In this review we discuss the normal post[...]

Nuremberg's Legacy on Transitional Justice: Prosecutions are Here to Stay

2026-07-09T05:53:12+00:00

A lasting legacy of the Nuremberg and Tokyo military tribunals is the assertion that individuals are subjects of international law and should be held criminally responsible for perpetrating war crimes and crimes against humanity. Building upon the Nuremberg legacy, the emergence and proliferation of modern international(ized) tribunals has ushered in a new era in international criminal justice, whereby states seek to end impunity for international crimes through criminal trials. This Article add[...]

Historic Ruling

2026-07-09T05:53:11+00:00

In a landmark decision, the Court of Appeal of Brussels has affirmed that the policy implemented by Belgian authorities during colonization to abduct and segregate Métis children constituted a crime against humanity and warrants reparations for the victims. This ruling, of profound symbolic and historical significance, sets a groundbreaking legal precedent for other victims of systemic violence and discrimination imposed by colonial powers, who may now feel empowered to seek reparations before B[...]

Transformative reparations: changing the game or more of the same?

2026-07-09T05:53:10+00:00

The traditional aim of reparations is to place the victim back in the position they would have been in had the harm not occurred. Academics and practitioners have criticised this traditional approach to reparations for serious crimes and human rights violations as failing to address socio-economic disparities and unequal power structures. The recent transformative reparations theories grew out of the belief that it is ineffectual to place marginalised victims back in positions of marginalisation[...]

Countering child abuse at home : are children sufficiently protected under international children’s rights law and Swiss law?

2026-07-01T15:51:36+00:00

The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) is the most widely ratified international law instrument. The CRC promises every child protection against violence, yet reports show that 3 in 4 children aged 2 to 4 years have repeatedly suffered physical punishment and/or psychological violence at the hands of parents and caregivers. This Bachelor’s thesis investigates to what extent children are protected against abuse at home under the international and the Swiss legal framework [...]

Liberal and Liberationist Transformative Justice ...

2026-07-02T13:55:27+00:00

Transformative justice is a concept that has gained prominence in both academic and public discourse. However, there are different understandings of the concept in different fields and within the broader public. In this paper, we identify a liberal and a liberationist strand of transformative justice as a heuristic. The former corresponds to an academic turn within the field of transitional justice, as a liberal policy intervention, while the latter has its origins within activism for prison and[...]

The Justice of Restitution

2026-07-03T03:15:48+00:00

A restitutive theory of justice is a rights-based approach to criminal sanctions that views a crime as an offense by one individual against the rights of another calling for forced reparations by the criminal to the victim. This is a sharp departure from the two predominant sanctioning theories-retribution and crime prevention. Rights-based analysts have criticized this approach for failing to include mens rea, or criminal intent into the calculation of sanctions, thereby ignoring the traditiona[...]

Territory as victim : rethinking the right to reparation through Awá indigenous territories

2026-07-02T23:52:58+00:00

Published online: 18 August 2025 ; “La tierra está enferma”—“the territory is sick” as the result of the armed conflict, say the elders of the Awá people, one of Colombia’s Indigenous groups primarily living in the region of Nariño, who preserve their native language, the Awapit, and with it an entire spiritual and cultural relationship with its territory.1 For the Awá people, the prolonged internal armed conflict in Colombia affected not only human beings but also their Mother Earth, the Katsa [...]

Die Arbeit untersucht, inwieweit das geltende Recht den aktuellen technischen Entwicklungen digitaler Ermittlungen in sozialen Netzwerken angemessen begegnet. Sie zeigt, dass öffentlich zugängliche Inhalte in der Regel ohne richterliche Anordnung verwertbar sind, während der Zugriff auf private oder verschlüsselte Daten strengen gesetzlichen Voraussetzungen unterliegt. Zu den technischen Kernproblemen zählen die Sicherung der Authentizität, die Gewährleistung der Integrität sowie die gerichtsfes[...]

VICTIMS OF CRIME COMPENSATORY SCHEME IN THE ADMINISTRATION OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE IN NIGERIA AS HUMAN RIGHTS ISSUE

2026-07-02T03:19:18+00:00

The criminal justice system in Nigeria has traditionally focused on the prosecution and punishment of offenders, often sidelining the rights and needs of victims of crime. This article examines the victims of crime compensatory scheme within Nigeria's administration of criminal justice, framing it as a critical human rights issue. While statutes such as the Administration of Criminal Justice Act (ACJA) 2015, the Violence Against Persons (Prohibition) Act 2015, and provisions in the Penal Code an[...]

Transnational Cooperation in Criminal Matters and the Guarantee of a Fair Trial: Approaches to a General Principle

2026-07-02T03:01:38+00:00

The right to a fair trial has grown in importance over the past few decades as criminal procedures and human rights law have aligned themselves more and more closely. A core aspect of our current European understanding of a ‘fair criminal trial’ is the so-called ‘equality of arms’, which requires that each party be given a reasonable opportunity to present his case under conditions that do not place him at a substantial disadvantage vis-à-vis his opponent. In cases which affect more than one jur[...]

Beschleunigungsstrategien der Strafjustiz: Eine empirische Studie zum Strafbefehlsverfahren in der Schweiz

2026-06-23T12:58:53+00:00

Beschleunigte Formen von Strafverfahren haben in vielen Rechtsordnungen enorme Bedeutung erhalten. Doch wie erreichen die Behörden diese Beschleunigung in der Praxis? Dies erläutert die Autorin am Beispiel des Strafbefehlsverfahrens in der Schweiz. Anhand einer Aktenanalyse werden die formellen und informellen Strategien identifiziert, mit denen Polizei und Staatsanwaltschaft die Falleigenschaften zu konstruieren vermögen, die eine schnelle Verurteilung per Strafbefehl zulässig machen.
