On July 12, the Grand National Assembly of Türkiye passed the 9th Package of Judicial Reforms. The package continues the tradition of amending various unrelated laws through a so-called omnibus law under the guise of reform. In addition, another feature has become remarkable: the alleged reforms deliberately overrule the decisions of the Turkish Constitutional Court (TCC), rendering its rulings null and void.

Da sich die Hoffnungen auf eine Steigerung der Zahl der Organspenden nicht ansatzweise erfüllt haben, hat die Debatte um die Widerspruchsregelung wieder an Fahrt aufgenommen. Abgeordnete des Deutschen Bundestages haben heute einen interfraktionellen Gruppenantrag zur Einführung der Widerspruchslösung im Transplantationsgesetz vorgestellt. Dem Bundesrat liegt ein Gesetzentwurf mit derselben Zielrichtung vor. Die zugrunde liegende Regelung stellt einen Paradigmenwechsel dar: Die postmortale Organentnahme ist nicht erst dann zulässig, wenn die betroffene Person oder ein naher Angehöriger zugestimmt hat, sondern bereits dann, wenn kein Widerspruch der betroffenen Person vorliegt und auch kein entgegenstehender Wille besteht, über den die Angehörigen zu befragen sind.

Immanuel Kant, born on April 22, 1724, would have celebrated his 300th birthday this year. And the German Constitution, the Basic Law (Grundgesetz) turns 75 years old in a few weeks. What do these two mean to each other? What does Kant's philosophy have to do with the Basic Law?

Ist das Bürgergeld verfassungswidrig, weil es keine gesunde Ernährung ermöglicht? Ernährungswissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse, die erst nach der letzten Entscheidung des Bundesverfassungsgerichts gewonnen wurden, sprechen dafür. Gesunde Ernährung kostet mehr, als bei der jetzigen Berechnung der Regelbedarfe für Ernährung berücksichtigt wird. Denn nach den aktuellen Zahlen der Europäischen Gemeinschaftsstatistik über Einkommen und Lebensbedingungen können sich 13 Prozent der Menschen in Deutschland nicht jeden zweiten Tag eine Mahlzeit mit Fleisch, Geflügel, Fisch oder einer vegetarischen Alternative leisten.

Die für Ende Februar 2024 angesetzten Präsidentschaftswahlen im Senegal ließ der jetzige Präsident in einer Ankündigung aus Gründen von Streitigkeiten über das nationale Wahlgesetz ad interim aussetzen. Dagegen stellte sich daraufhin Mitte Februar 2024 vehement die senegalesische Judikative. Der senegalesische Verfassungsrat (Conseil constitutionnel) erklärte die präsidial angekündigte Wahlverschiebung für verfassungswidrig.

The question of how to restore the fallen and degenerated body that once was the Polish Constitutional Tribunal is finally to make its way to the Parliament this week. The stakes are clear: If we get lost in legalese and accept half-baked solutions, it will taint all ambitions and legislative projects aimed at restoring the rule of law in Poland. To avoid this mistake, the “fake court” should be “zeroed out” and newly appointed.

Ever since the beginning of the International Summit on Genome Editing in November 2018 the issue has reached a new pinnacle of discussion. At that time, Chinese scientist Je Jiankui announced the birth of gene-manipulated twins using the processs of CRISPR/CAS9 on YouTube. My interdisciplinary doctoral thesis is concerned with today‘s ethical debate on germline therapy in humans. The thesis follows the medical and scientific foundation of genome editing procedures and ends predominantly in a legal evaluation based on German law. What are the criminal law limits of genome editing measures? How can genome editing be embedded in the constitutional context and in health systems, today and in the future? [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
