Abstract

This study focuses on a brief analysis on those court cases in the jurisdictional phase, dealt with by the administrative court, within the High Court of Cassation and Justice of Romania (HCCJ). Obviously, as already made evident by the topic of our paper, we have dealt with those cases involving military personnel -- petty officers, warrant officers, officers of various ranks and positions -- from the Romanian Navy. In the few pages at our disposal, we focused on the reasons for the actions in the respective courts, on the procedural framework, on the arguments used in appeals, on the motivation for maintaining a court decision, on the modification or cancellation of the judicial decisions appealed to the HCCJ.

10. Italienische Soldaten vor SS- und Polizeigerichten. Beispiele aus Italien und Griechenland.

Author

Theel, Christopher

Subjects
COURTS-martial & courts of inquiry, ALLIED occupation of Italy, 1943-1947, JUSTICE administration, MILITARY personnel -- Trials, litigation, etc.
Abstract

After Italy's formal exit from the Second World War in September 1943, German troops occupied large parts of the Apennine peninsula and the Italian-occupied zones in the Balkans and Greece. Alongside the redeployment of German troop units, military and Waffen-SS courts were established in Italy and Greece. This article looks at the organisational and personnel foundations of these courts, paying particular attention to the treatment of Italian soldiers before SS and police courts. Owing to the fragmentary nature of the surviving documentary material in German archives, it is only possible to sketch out a few specific examples of punishments handed down. Nevertheless, it becomes clear how the means used by SS and police courts provided an important instrument of occupation policy; the courts played a strategic role in securing Italy as part of Germany's overall war policy.

11. The Bemba-Banyamulenge Case before the ICC: From Individual to Collective Criminal Responsibility.

Author

Ndahinda, Felix Mukwiza

Subjects
INTERNATIONAL criminal courts, MILITARY personnel -- Trials, litigation, etc., ACTIONS & defenses (Law)
Abstract

Jean-Pierre Bemba is on trial before the International Criminal Court (ICC) based on the legal theory of command responsibility for crimes allegedly committed by Congolese soldiers deployed in the Central African Republic (CAR) at the request of the country’s President Ange-Félix Patassé during the 2002–2003 conflict. Various ICC actors, including prosecutors, judges, witnesses, defense lawyers and victim representatives, have uncritically adopted the term ‘Banyamulenge,’ ordinarily an ethnonym for an eastern Congolese community, to refer to the purported perpetrators of these crimes. This article digs into the origins of the collective labeling of Bemba’s combatants in the CAR. It also examines the possible impact that negative narratives associated with Banyamulenge in the Bemba case may have on the already explosive identity politics in (eastern) Democratic Republic of Congo.

12. Defending the Emergence of the Superior Orders Defense in the Contemporary Context.

Author

Liang, Jessica

Subjects
*SUPERIOR orders (Criminal law), *CRIMINAL defense, *CRIMINAL liability, *INTERNATIONAL law, *MILITARY personnel -- Trials, litigation, etc.
Abstract

The defense of superior orders is one of the most controversial defenses to be pleaded under criminal law. In effect, it condones ignorance of the law and allows a subordinate to escape criminal liability on a basis other than culpability. It may therefore come as a surprise that sixty years after the Nuremberg and Tokyo trials, the resort to superior orders has re-emerged as a complete defense for certain types of crimes. I argue that this defense is based on sound policy reasons of military necessity, and should be made available on the condition that the order is not 'manifestly illegal'. In contrast to blunt absolutist approaches, the manifest illegality doctrine presents the most workable test for distinguishing between the culpability of conduct committed by soldiers in circumstances of exigency. This 'middle-way' successfully balances the dichotomous ends of legality and military efficiency and should be the preferred test under international law. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
