  • Observations from an International Criminal Law Viewpoint*
    Establishing an International Criminal Court and an International Criminal Code Observations from an International Criminal Law Viewpoint* Kai Ambos** I. Introduction The almost total impunity for war crimes and grave human rights violations, be it in the former Yugoslavia or in States of less public interest like Columbia or Peru, Togo or Liberia - to mention only a few - has led to calls for the further develop- ment of mechanisms of international criminal justice. Efforts in this direction,1 dat- ing from the Nuremberg and Tokyo war crime trials, experienced an unexpected political push with the end of the Cold War and the establishment of the ad hoc tribunals for the former Yugoslavia2 and Rwanda3. Recently, codification efforts * I am very grateful to Ms. Virginia Morris, UN-Codification Division; Prof. Dr. Christian Tomuschat, Humboldt University Berlin; Dr. Simon, UN-library Geneva and Dr. Schlunck, Min- istry of Justice (Bonn) for information provided for this article. I am indebted to Emily Silverman, J.D. (Berkeley), LL.M. (Freiburg/Br.), for refining the English and for critical comments. ** Dr. jur. (University of Munich).

  • Albin Eser the Role of Comparative Law in Transnational Criminal Justice
    Albin Eser The Role of Comparative Law in Transnational Criminal Justice Reprint from: Justice Without Borders Essays in Honour of Wolfgang Schomburg Edited by Martin Bose, Michael Bohlander, Andre Klip, Otto Lagodny BRILL NIJHOFF 2018 CHAPTER 6 The Role of Comparative Law in Transnational Criminal Justice AlbinEser Abstract The chapter explores the different paths and levels on which domestic and interna­ tional criminal law may influence each other, what purpose might be served by such a conversation, and which methods are appropriate. In order to study these issues, two different epistemological categories appear useful. As far as the aim is concerned, recourse to foreign law is advisable, and potentially necessary, for two reasons: For the application of domestic or international criminal law in the context of judicial, or for the advancement of national or international law by means oflegislative, comparative research. As far as the transnational context is concerned, foreign criminal law may play a role on three different levels: In the mutual dependence between national and foreign law and the administration of criminal justice, in international legal coopera­ tion in criminal matters and, lastly, on the level of supranational criminal justice. If one wanted to find out to what degree references to national criminal law play a role in the reasoning of international criminal tribunals, appropriate guidance may be found by looking for proceedings in which Wolfgang Schom­ burg served as a judge at the international tribunals for Rwanda (ICTR) and the former Yugoslavia (rcTY). Even without a thorough search simply rely­ ing on impressions received from browsing judgments of these courts, I dare to guess that judge Schomburg, in whose honour this paper is prepared, is in the the upper class of the judges who do not shy away from supporting their reasoning through comparisons with national criminal law.

This year has been full of change, growth, and progress. Our call reports, chat logs, and digital services make it very clear that The Trevor Project is still urgently needed. We saw one of the largest membership increases on TrevorSpace since the program’s inception in 2008 and we watched the number of calls to the Trevor Lifeline surpass 35,000 – nearly 4,000 more than last year. We also expanded the first nationally available chat service specifically for LGBTQ youth in need of support. While we sincerely wish that the need for Trevor’s services would diminish, we are truly grateful to be present to fulfill the needs of young LGBTQ people in crisis.
