AbstractGiven the fast development of the field of AML Regulation, this Article aims to answer the following questions: First, how is money laundering dealt with and regulated on the EU level? Second, to which legal concerns do the chosen regulatory strategy give rise? Accordingly, this Article provides an overview of the various regulatory strategies in the global and EU regional AML Regime while at the same time points out some of the most pressing legal concerns in AML Regulation. These include the blurred line between administrative and criminal law measures and the protection of individual rights and fundamental freedoms including data protection and privacy issues in administrative and criminal law contexts respectively. Although briefly mentioning the global and international context, the focus of this Article is the EU regulatory action, its outcome and critique, and possible future.

Child rights has become global concern, indicated from several law instruments which legislated by several countries in the world. In international context, United Nations has created several laws, including protocols and resolutions to protect rights of children. Those laws have consisted of soft-law which sometimes having no hard sanctions. In Indonesian context, there are a number of law instruments protecting child rights such as Law of Child Protection. However, the Law have not fully covered the implementation of Islamic law in Aceh. A number of Qanun (bylaws) in Aceh have not specifically protected child rights. There are still a lot of norms in Islamic criminal law not defining child rights. In Islamic law, Al-Quran and Prophet Muhammad have paid serious attention on children rights. Islamic law has given greatest care to safeguarding all that is needed to guarantee a wholesome psychological climate for the rearing of children, an environment wherein they learn about the world formulate their norms and behaviour.

Resumen: El presente artículo pretender dar una visión global de la protección del derecho a la cultura a través del derecho internacional penal y en concreto, a través de la tipificación de los crímenes de destrucción del patrimonio cultural. La persecución de tales delitos internacionales ha seguido la senda de otros crímenes en derecho internacional penal, englobándose en un primer momento entre los crímenes de guerra para de forma posterior superar dicha tipificación para poder ser tratado como crímenes de lesa humanidad de persecución e incluso, como indicios de una conducta genocida. En el presente contexto internacional, la denegación del derecho a la cultura como método de guerra es innegable en los conflictos protagonizados por los nuevos actores internacionales por lo que la solución final del derecho internacional penal debe progresar para erigirse en un método de protección privilegiado. Abstract:  The present article intends to give a global vision of the protection of the right to culture through international criminal law and in particular, through the tipification of crimes of destruction of cultural heritage. The prosecution of such international crimes has followed the path of other crimes in international criminal law, initially included in the type of war crimes and later overcoming such tipification in order to be treated as a crime against humanity of persecution and even, as indications of a genocidal behavior. In the present international context, the denial of the right to culture as a method of warfare is undeniable in conflicts involving new international actors, so the final solution of international criminal law must progress to become a privileged method of protection.

Over the past thirty years or so the regulation of business cartels in an international context has provided an interesting site for the application of legal sanctions—both criminal law and otherwise, both penal and otherwise—in a way which is wide-ranging and with some impressive accumulation in quantity, although without much systematic and considered reflection on the theoretical basis or practical impact of this practice. From the point of view of both policy and justice, the calculation and critical assessment of such sanction accumulation might appear to be an important and worthwhile exercise. Yet the theory and the methodology of such an assessment appears to be insufficiently considered and worked out. It will be argued here that this is a matter which deserves some reflection and clarification, with some endeavour to work out principle and method for the purpose of calculating sanction accumulation and the matching of the latter with victimhood in this context.
