  • The Harmonisation of the Law of Personal Security
    Matthias E. Storme Professor at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven and Universiteit Antwerpen The Harmonisation of the Law of Personal Security In this paper in honour of Prof. Drobnig*1, I would like to deal with the following topics in relation to (the harmonisation of the law of) personal security: – The level of abstraction fi t for a European restatement on this matter (1) – The structuring of the different institutions in a conceptual and regulatory framework (2) – The relationship between the specifi c rules for personal security and general contract law in the proposed Draft Common Frame of Reference*2 (3) – The rules applicable to provision of proprietary security by a third party (4) 1. General problems of harmonisation The draft common frame of reference tends to formulate rules as much as possible on a general level, and this is clearly also true in the fi eld of personal security. As we will see, many questions are already dealt with in general terms in Book II, on contracts and juridical acts in general, or in Book III, on obligations in general. Further, within the fi eld of personal security, matters are regulated basically for two broad categories of personal security, dependent and independent personal security, with even a substantial general part for both of them. Is this tendency merely a revival of the Pandectist temptation, as some opponents have cried, reducing the Pandektenschule further unjustly to mere Begriffsjurisprudenz? There are some objective elements explain- ing and probably also justifying this style. I would like to mention four. All four were to some extent — and mutatis mutandis — also present in the context of 19th-century Germany.

  • Stefan Graziadei University of Graz and University of Antwerp
    Six models for Reforming the Selection of Judges to the BiH Constitutional Court Stefan Graziadei University of Graz and University of Antwerp Working paper, No. 14 January 2016 Summary Following the decision on the unconstitutionality of the Day of the Republic (U-3/13) in late 2015, Bosnian Serbs and Croats vowed to terminate the mandate of international judges of the country’s constitutional court. If the Bosnian parliament failed to act, political leaders from the Bosnian Serb entity would call a referendum on the Court and drop out of state institutions. Against the backdrop of this political threat, Bosnians need to debate if they still need international judges or whether the Court’s composition should be reformed. Comparatively, the presence of international judges in national apex courts remains an exception. This paper will not enter the debate on whether it is time to call time on international judges, but will show how the composition of the Court could be reformed. Politicians could draw inspiration from several models discussed in the paper: the domestic model, the German model, the Belgian model, the ECtHR model, and the D’Hondt model. However, the possibility is not excluded that the very changes that Bosnian Serb politicians demand might require constitutional reform. About the author Stefan Graziadei has studied Political Science at the University of Padua, the UWE Bristol, the ULB Brussels and the University of California in San Diego. His academic interest focuses on comparative constitutional law, comparative politics, minority rights, the politics of divided societies, Europeanization and, in relation to that, post conflict state building in former Yugoslav societies.
