This article provides an overview of how trafficking in persons has come to be imagined in Brazil. We stipulate that a mythical narrative has become central to discourses about trafficking used to guide policy-makers and educate civil society. We perform a structural analysis of this myth arguing that its acceptance, combined with the persistence of laws that define trafficking solely as the migration of prostitutes, has shifted public discussion towards a paradigm of passivity and law enforcement where members of certain social categories must be "educated to understand that they are victims" and their movements must be curtailed.

ICCTs have been established on a belying enforcement paradox between their significant mandate and their inherent lack of enforcement powers due to absence of systemic law enforcement. This article is premised on the idea that ICCTs fail to procure substantial results due to their delusive persistence in rejecting the factoring of politics in their operation. Thus, I suggest a perspective for arrest warrant enforcement that not only recognizes the relevance of politics but also capitalizes on it. Accordingly, I argue that by fully comprehending its enforcement tools and making use of its political role, the ICC may increase its rates in the apprehension of suspects, and therefore secure higher levels of judicial enforcement. Based on different compliance theories, I argue that the Office of The Prosecutor of the ICC (OTP) can improve compliance with ICC arrest warrants by making use of third states and non-state actors. In Part I, I address the way states and international actors may assist the OTP towards unwilling to arrest states through inducements, reputational sanctions, and support for enforcement agencies. I propose that external pressure in the form of positive inducements (membership, development aid) or negative inducements (travel bans, asset freezes) as well as condemnation and reputational damage towards non-compliant states, are likely to increase compliance with arrest warrants. In Part II, I examine a strategy for the OTP towards states that are willing to arrest but are unable to do so. In these cases, the OTP would benefit from improving its institutional capacity to identify and use overlapping interests with activist states in the field of human rights and international justice through the establishment of a diplomatic arm within its Jurisdiction, Complementarity and Cooperation Division (JCCD). I unpack the question of what this engagement may look like by examining such a potential relationship between the US and the ICC. Finally, in Part III, I focus on the instances, where civil society has the ability to influence third states or situation states to assist in the execution of arrest warrants. I argue that the OTP ought to include more actively different actors within the global civil society, such as NGOs, transnational networks, and individuals, during its bargaining efforts.

The article is devoted to the study of the concept of legal effectiveness in the context of the goals and purpose of law in general and separately in the private law relations. Since the law is a complex social phenomenon, the author paid special attention to the issues of refraction of normative tasks through the prism of judicial discretion. Law enforcement practice, on the one hand, shows the viability of a particular norm and its compliance with the current level of development of civil society, however, it can also distort the spirit of the law, which will not allow achieving the necessary legal result. Judicial discretion regarding the interpretation of certain legal elements and in assessing the behavior of participants in legal relations can lead to the transformation of legal relations, which does not allow to realize the goals set by the subjects. It is noted that the regulation of the limits of judicial discretion would help to ensure effective legal regulation. Assessing the behavior of participants due to the lack of mechanisms for proving the actual intentions of the parties is difficult for most countries of the continental legal system; therefore, a formal approach prevails and qualifies the will of the parties recorded exclusively in writing.

<p>Revolusi mental yang ditopang oleh kekuatan civil society adalah bagian dari penguatan budaya hukum ketika memandang hukum sebagai sebuah sistem. Terdapat beberapa fakta yang menunjukkan bahwa korupsi telah sedemikian meluas sehingga hampir semua elemen Negara, baik di eksekutif, legislatif maupun judiciil . Berpijak dari visi revolusi mental ini menarik untuk dibahas lebih jauh mengenai bagaimana pemberantasan korupsi bisa dilakukan dengan paradigma, budaya politik, dan pendekatan nation building baru yang lebih manusiawi, sesuai dengan budaya nusantara, serta bagaimana transformasi budaya nusantara dalam pemberantasan korupsi. Dengan pendekatan yuridis normatif diperoleh kesimpulan bahwa Nation Building pemberantasan korupsi berpijak prinsip supremasi hukum, kesetaraan di depan hukum dan penegakan hukum dengan cara-cara yang tidak bertentangan dengan hukum. Di sisi lain, terdapat anggapan bahwa sulitnya pemberantasan korupsi di Indonesia adalah akibat pemahaman bahwa korupsi adalah budaya bangsa. Pemahaman ini perlu diluruskan dengan menunjukkan bahwa budaya bangsa Indonesia adalah anti terhadap korupsi dan melakukan transformasi budaya. Transformasi budaya nusantara ke dalam format pembangunan hukum, khususnya pemberantasan korupsi, bersumber dari dua elemen yakni dari nilai-nilai agama dan dari nilai-nilai adat.</p><p>Mental revolution supported by the strength of civil society is part of strengthening the legal culture as identify the law as a system.

By normative juridical approach can be concluded that the nation building in combating corruption is based on the Supremacy of law principle, equality before the law and law enforcement in association with legal. On the other hand, there is a presumption that contraints of corruption eradicating in Indonesia because corruption has became a part of nation’s culture. This presumption must be clarified that Indonesian genuine culture is anti corruption.

The modern society of the Russian Federation is faced with the massive incompetence of specialists in various fields of activity and branches of knowledge. The situation reached such a climax that a person and a citizen began to be openly afraid to get sick, to turn to law enforcement or human rights bodies, to delve into the essence or content of laws in the event of any kind of tort. Setting ourselves the goal of understanding such destructive processes for the state, as well as the ways of their counteraction, we came to the conclusion that these phenomena of objective reality are associated with both external and internal causes, and one of the ways to eliminate them may be recognition and the development of the right of active citizens and civil society to legal initiative. Considering that the sphere of research interests was in the plane of law, it became possible to conduct a study in the field of legal awareness and legal education, which does not exclude the possibility of using the identified positive and negative aspects for other spheres of human and citizen's life.
