Course contents :
|
| The European Union is developing a political project in the field of criminal justice, which takes place in the broader framework of the establishment of an area of freedom, security and justice. This political project has given rise these 20 last years to a considerable and important legal corpus, not only from the point of view of effectiveness but also by their effect on the evolution of international criminal law, through the adoption of new concepts and paradigms.
The purpose of this course is to study this specificity, to draw the framework and to highlight the concepts and paradigms and their actual implementation in the law in force (for example the principle of mutual recognition of the judicial decisions and its translation in the European arrest warrant or in the European investigation order).
The course will be connected with what is happening today and will give attention to the ongoing negotiations (for example the establishment of a European Prosecutor's Office). |
