Very glad to see Universal Jurisdiction over Core International Crimes: Law & Practice (Elgar, eds. Yanev & van der Wilt) finally published. My chapter explores the concept—and the many conceptions—of universal jurisdiction.

“Renata, suddenly in need of a reason to change the subject, picks up her phone and turns away. She plugs her other ear with a wet finger, and the sensation is unlike any she’s felt before. Her finger feels to her like a child’s finger, her ear like a numb toy.”

„Herr A., Rentner, ist angeklagt, weil er in einer Kaufland-Filiale eine Packung Reis und ein Glas löslichen Kaffee gestohlen hat. Gesamtwert: 11,98 Euro.“

„Das Urteil: 50 Tagessätze à zehn Euro.“

Jetzt schreibt auch die ZEIT (Arno Makowsky) über Armutsbestrafung in Berlin:
Gerichtsurteile: Ins Gefängnis für drei Äpfel und ein Shampoo?
In einem Berliner Gericht werden Schicksale im 15-Minuten-Takt abgeurteilt: Es geht um Diebstahl, Schwarzfahren und die Frage, wie viel Würde den Armen bleiben sollte.
