Le contrôle juridictionnel dans l'espace pénal européen

This edited volume, which has been drafted in honour of Professor Telò's research career, offers the reader an overview of the various scientific debates that he has been involved in throughout his distinguished career. The aim was to highlight, contextualise and build on his most innovative contributions to each of these debates. The volume revolves around four thematic areas, each of which brings together a number of contributions that offer timely reflections on a given question or challenge covered by Professor Telò's research. The first section, 'Reflections on the Future of Social Democracy in Europe', brings together chapters on the efficiency and legitimacy crisis fhcing contemporary social democracies, be it at the European or national levels. The second section, 'Reflections on the Prospects for European Governance', offers the reader a cross-section of assessments on the state of the European polity, its politics and the policies that it produces, notably in the light of recent institutional reforms and crises. The third section, 'Reflections on the Implications of Multilateralism and Multipolarism for Europe', explores how both regional experiences in general and the EU's external action in particular have reacted to a rapidly changing international environment. The fourth and final section, 'Reflections on the Lessons drawn from Engaged Research in Europe', takes a step back and considers the role of the researcher in the evolving and challenging environment sketched out in the preceding sections. It focuses both on how to approach such a complex area of research as the EU as well as how to reconcile academic distance with societal engagement when working on controversial topics.

Rethinking The European Union and its Global Role from the 20th to the 21st Century - Liber Amucorum Mario Telo

The role of evaluation has become increasingly important in the context of eu policies in the field of judicial cooperation in criminal matters.
 This evolution is the result of an increasing number of legally binding instruments adopted in the framework of the third pillar of the european union and of their growing impact on national legal systems.  evaluation represents an essential tool to appreciate the legislative and practical implementation of existing european criminal law and to assess and mea-sure in greater detail the effects and impact of eu legislation.
 Therefore, it ptays a significant rote in the establishment and strengthening of mutual trust in the eu area of freedom, security and justice.  this book aims at developing a methodology for the assessment of the implementation and impact of european criminal law.  the main pur-pose of this exercise is to test this methodology on the framework decision of 19 july 2002 on combating trafficking in human beings.
 The choice of this legal instrument is particularly appropriate since it is aimed at harmonising the member states' national laws as regards a most serious and specific offence which is related to modern slavery and exploitation of human beings.  the book starts with a general analysis of evaluation.  this is followed by a series of country chapters, analysing the transposition and implementation as well as the impact of the framework decision on trafficking in human beings in 12 selected member states of the european union.
 These contributions served as the basis for more general conclusions drawn up in the final part of the book.  this book is the result of a team work performed by academics and researchers who are members of eclan (european criminal law academic network).

The evaluation of european criminal law ; the example of the framework decision on combating trafficking in human beings

Le présent ouvrage constitue une réflexion substantielle sur la méthodologie de l'évaluation des instruments adoptés par l'Union européenne dans le secteur pénal, lequel relève à l'heure actuelle du troisième pilier du traité sur l'Union européenne. Le sujet est d'une grande actualité. L'importance de l'évaluation a en particulier été soulignée par le traité constitutionnel mais aussi par le programme de La Haye et par le plan d'action qui vise à le mettre en œuvre : elle joue un rôle essentiel dans l'établissement et le développement de la confiance mutuelle, principe fondateur de la reconnaissance mutuelle et, plus généralement, de l'espace pénal européen. L'évaluation est une problématique relativement neuve dans le chantier pénal en pleine expansion. Aussi la première partie de l'étude se tourne-t-elle vers d'autres expériences menées en la matière. Ces expériences issues d'autres cadres juridiques, comme le Conseil de l'Europe ou les Nations unies, se révèlent des sources d'inspiration intéressantes pour l'espace pénal européen. La seconde partie de l'ouvrage est consacrée à l'évaluation des instruments relevant du troisième pilier du traité sur l'Union. L'évaluation des Etats membres de l'Union, d'une part, et celle des pays candidats ou adhérents, d'autre part, y sont analysées avec attention. A partir des comparaisons et constats ainsi dégagés, des conclusions générales sont tirées et des pistes de réflexion ou recommandations formulées. L'ouvrage est le fruit de la collaboration d'une équipe internationale composée d'académiques et de chercheurs, membres du réseau académique de droit pénal européen (ECLAN), et d'experts nationaux ou européens qui " pratiquent " l'évaluation, que ce soit en tant qu'évaluateur ou évalué.

Comment évaluer le droit pénal européen ?

It was in the seventies that the first steps in the field of judicial cooperation in criminal matters between Member States of the European Communities were taken. The realizations in the field were at first limited, but since the nineties they progressively developed in the framework of the third pillar of the Treaty on the European Union and even more following the entry into force of the Amsterdam Treaty, whose aim was establishing an area of freedom, security and justice. Since 1 May 1999, the number of initiatives and of adopted instruments has largely increased. The rhythm accelerated even more with the beginning of the new millennium, notably in reaction to the terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001. After the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty, the European penal area has been developing itself in a new institutional and decisional framework, subject to the community method. The importance of this area, along with the number and the implications of the adopted texts in the field, justify the realization of this Code. This volume is the best proof of the degree of development of the European penal area and of the Tact that it has become one of the main "building sites" of the Union.

Code of Criminal Law of the European Union

The number and the implications of the adopted texts in the European penal domain justify the making of the present Code. Its volume is the best proof of the reached development of the European criminal area.

Codes essentiels : criminal law of the European Union (édition 2020)

Le rejet de la ratification du traité constitutionnel par les référendums organisés en france et aux pays-bas a fait l'effet d'un véritable séisme.
 L'avenir de l'union européenne lui-même s'est trouvé au coeur de la tourmente.  la question de la fin du processus d'unification européenne, de la mort de l'union politique a même été posée.  c'est sur ce fond de " crise " que se sont tenues les célébrations du cinquantième anniversaire du traité de rome.  de nouveaux développements sont intervenus depuis.  le conseil européen de juin 2007 à bruxelles a permis le lancement d'une nouvelle conférence intergouvernementale, laquelle a débouché sur la signature du traité de lisbonne, le 13 décembre 2007.
 Il s'agit là d'un fait d'une importance majeure, qui devrait donner un nouveau souffle à l'europe.  mais l'union européenne est-elle pour autant sortie de la " crise " ? l'entrée en vigueur du nouveau traité, prévue pour janvier 2009, devra en tout cas surmonter l'écueil d'un nouveau non lors du référendum irlandais.  et au-delà de ce traité, de nombreuses interrogations demeurent, qu'il faut se garder de minimiser.
 Comment convient-il de situer cette phase dans son contexte de longue durée et dans le cadre international ? quelles en sont les origines et les raisons profondes ? quelle en est la nature exacte ? comment la dépasser ? ces questions sont au coeur de l'ouvrage collectif dirigé par paul magnette et anne weyembergh.  de nature pluridisciplinaire, il rassemble les contributions de professeurs et chercheurs de l'institut d'études européennes de l'université libre de bruxelles ainsi que de certains de ses collaborateurs les plus proches.
 Les auteurs sont politologues, juristes, historiens ou économistes.  les angles d'approche, les points de vue, les interprétations et les analyses sont variés.  le volume se compose de trois parties.  la première est relative à la phase critique traversée par l'europe, à ses caractéristiques, à sa nature.  la deuxième traite de l'europe dans un monde globalisé : il y est question de sa puissance et de son impuissance face à la mondialisation.
 La troisième partie se concentre sur les aspects institutionnels de l'union européenne.

L'union européenne : la fin d'une crise ?

Governments have often claimed that modern international terrorism cannot be handled adequately within the ordinary criminal justice system. Consequently criminal law had to be adapted to fight terrorism more effectively, which includes the criminalization of certain "abstract danger", preparatory activities such as terrorist training, membership in a terrorist organization etc. National legislation has evolved against the background of international and European instruments. This collective book presents and discusses the latest counter-terrorism policies at the EU level, and particularly instruments for approximation in the field, namely the Framework Decision 2002/475/JHA on combating terrorism and the Framework Decision 2008/919/JHA amending the previous one. The objective is, in particular, to evaluate the impact of the introduction of a EU definition of terrorism and the three new offences of provocation, training and recruitment for terrorism purposes on the development of substantive criminal law and case law of selected EU Member States. Following an introduction and a general critical assessment of both Framework Decisions, the first part will be devoted to the interplay between these two EU instruments and national provisions, including a study of the relevant domestic case law. Nine Member States (France, Germany, Italy, Spain, UK, Austria, Belgium, Denmark and Hungary) have been selected in order to ensure a balanced representation and particularly the division between two groups of States. The first group is made of few jurisdictions that have experienced serious and long-lasting periods of political violence and terrorism, developed specific terrorist offences and have been influential in providing a model for shaping a common European counter-terrorism strategy. The second group encompasses States that have defined terrorist offences as autonomous ones in their penal codes only when required by the 2002 Framework Decision on combating terrorism. A second and briefer part looks at the influence on European cooperation of the two relevant EU framework decisions harmonizing the terrorist offences. A third and last part is entirely dedicated to the issue of the shift towards prevention in the fight against terrorism and gathers several crosscutting reports for this purpose. The book ends with a transversal and analytical conclusion. This book is the result of the collaboration of an international team composed of academics and researchers who are members of ECLAN (European Criminal Law Academic Network) as well as national and European experts who "practice" the relevant EU instruments on a regular basis.

EU counter-terrorism offences - What impact on national legislation and case-law ?

Ce Code regroupe, suite à la naissance des Communautés européennes et d'un espace de liberté, de sécurité et de justice, les textes adoptés dans le secteur pénal européen. Son volume est la preuve du degré de développement de celui-ci.

Codes essentiels : droit pénal de l'Union européenne (édition 2020)

During the last few years, gay and lesbian rights have reached the European Union human rights agenda and different instruments to combat discrimination have been adopted, which have had major implications for the gay and lesbian communities all over Europe, This volume focuses on less known and less studied aspects of these accomplishments. Its originality lies both in the multidisciplinary nature and the international approach of this project ; researchers from different universities throughout Europe (Brussels, Leiden, Stockholm, Athens, Ljubljana, Budapest, Bucharest, Paris and Krakow) and from different disciplines (law, political science, sociology and journalism) have contributed to this volume. Through case studies and theoretical reflection, the articles collected here aim at reinforcing the existing interest for the topic as well as offering an academic look at the subject, with a view to fostering scientific dialogue and contributing to the development of this field of research. The book is structured in three different parts, covering a broad spectrum of issues, among which : legal achievements on outlawing discrimination on sexual orientation within the European Union, the evolution of same-sex partnership and marriage, the accomplishments in the candidate countries. By providing a comprehensive overview of the aforementioned topics, this book can be appreciated by different categories of readers, from those interested in human rights to those working in the specific field of non-discrimination or studying the evolution of norms.

The gay's and lesbians's rights in an enlarged European Union

For the past decade, judicial cooperation in criminal matters in the European Union has been premised on the principle of mutual recognition. Its operation presupposes the acceptance of mutual trust between the — diverse — legal systems of the Member States. That trust is grounded on their shared commitment to the principles of freedom, democracy, respect for human rights and the rule oflaw. Since the entry into force of the Lisbon Treat y, the EU legislator has adopted six directives on the procedural rights of defendants, together with one directive on victims' rights. However, against the background of intense legislative activity in criminal matters, illustrated by the adoption of the EPPO Regulation and the release of the E-Evidence Proposai, recent debates questioned whether further approximation efforts should be undertaken in the field of procedural criminal law. In this context, this edited volume examines to what extent differences between national procedural criminal laves hinder the negotiations and the operation of cross-border cooperation instruments. It is based on a comparative analysis of a representative sample of Member States. It identifies several forms of "hindrances" to cross-border cooperation, ranging from mere delays to the suspension and the non-execution of assistance requests, alongside the striking underuse of some of the existing instruments. There is no simple or single answer to these challenges. Therefore, several non-legislative and legislative recommendations are put forward for the short- and long-term horizon.

Criminal procedures and cross-border cooperation in the EU area of criminal justice - Together but appart ?

After the coming into force of the Amsterdam Treaty, the European penal domain has become one of the main building areas of the European Union. The rhythm of the realizations in the criminal matters has even been accelerated after the European Summit hold in October 1999 in Tampere and in reaction to the terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001. The number and the implications of the adopted texts within the field justify the making of the present Code of criminal law of the European Union. Its volume is the best proof of the reached development of the European criminal area.

L'Harmonisation des législations : condition de l'espace pénal européen et révélateur de ses tensions

Limiter les effets des jugements rendus en matière pénale au territoire où ils ont été prononcés est incompatible avec l'idée même de justice, d'autant que l'internationalisation s'accroît et que les nouvelles techniques de communication se développent.
La problématique revêt une acuité particulière dans l'Union européenne qui garantit la libre circulation des personnes, des biens, des capitaux et des services. Elle connaît un nouvel essor depuis que le traité d'Amsterdam a chargé l'Union européenne de mettre sur pied un " espace de liberté, de sécurité et de justice ". Les conclusions adoptées lors du sommet européen de Tampere ont fait du principe de la reconnaissance mutuelle des décisions pénales la " pierre angulaire " de la coopération judiciaire entre les Etats membres de l'Union.
L'objet du présent ouvrage est de mener une réflexion originale sur ce processus. Outre une mise en perspective de la reconnaissance mutuelle, le lecteur y trouvera une analyse claire de son impact sur la double incrimination et le principe de la territorialité. Sont ensuite analysés de manière détaillée les deux volets de la reconnaissance mutuelle : l'exécution des décisions judiciaires étrangères pré-sentencielles et l'exécution des jugements étrangers rendus sur le fond de l'affaire.
A cette occasion, certains auteurs centrent leurs observations sur les premiers projets concrets en cours de négociation et en soulignent les difficultés. D'autres élargissent le débat et se livrent à un commentaire plus général des problèmes soulevés. Enfin, parmi les questions de nature transversale abordées dans l'ouvrage, figurent celles de l'avenir de l'extradition dans l'Union européenne et de la relation de la reconnaissance mutuelle au Corpus juris.
Le livre se termine par l'étude d'autres expériences pouvant servir de source d'inspiration à ce nouveau chantier, telles que celles du droit civil et commercial, des pays nordiques et de la Suisse. L'ouvrage est le fruit de la collaboration d'une équipe internationale composée d'académiques et de chercheurs, de praticiens de la justice, de fonctionnaires nationaux ou européens.
