Dialog między regionalnymi trybunałami praw człowieka

The multiplicity of international judicial authorities makes their mutual interactions a challenge. In recent years, three regional human rights courts, with the competence to hear casus of violations of human rights protected by international law, have worked together to establish a robust dialogue. In spite of their normative, social or political differences, they have begun to intensify efforts to strengthen their bonds. The historic San José Declaration has provided formal conditions for the trilateral dialogue between the European Human Rights Court, Inter-American Human Rights Court, and African Court on Human and People’s Rights. The dialogue undertaken by the regional human rights courts contains not only a reference to its jurisprudence, but also a number of practices, incl. the exchange of experience. It is intended to establish consistency between human rights protection systems across the region. The initially informal cooperation has transformed into a trilateral dialogue that directly contributes to the improved understanding and implementation of human rights, which in turn constitutes a challenge to international human rights legislation. The aim of the article is to present the judicial dialogue in the field of human rights, to draw attention to its dynamics and to emphasize its role in changing some aspects of the understanding of law characterized by the principle of territoriality. This discussion is also intended to focus attention on the functions of dialogue, including penetration and mutual inspiration as well as strengthening the authority of courts.

Equity and the Cuban National Health System's response to COVID-19

Cuba’s National Health System has managed to guarantee an effective and equitable response to COVID-19. Universal and free health coverage, based on primary care, follows the principle of equity and the greatest resources are allocated to areas of the lowest socioeconomic stratum (where higher risk is concentrated), followed by those of medium and high strata, in that order. This allowed for similar mortality rates in the three strata, and Cuban national mortality rate was one of the lowest in the Region of the Americas. Before the first case was identified in Cuba, a Plan for Coronavirus Prevention and Control was elaborated with multisectoral participation, and when the first case was confirmed the Temporary National Working Group to Fight COVID-19 was created as an advisory body of the government. The actions to face the pandemic began with preventive measures in the community, continued in the isolation centers and ended again in the community with actions of surveillance and follow up of recovered patients. Following the principle of territoriality, molecular diagnosis laboratories were created in the provinces that did not have one. Free medical care and treatment; the preparation of a single national intersectoral government plan; the use of particular strategies for research, diagnosis and case tracing; and the implementation of a universal protocol for disease prevention and treatment of confirmed cases made it possible to control the disease with a health equity perspective.

TERRITÓRIOS DA ARQUIVOLOGIA A PARTIR DO PRINCÍPIO DA TERRITORIALIDADE = TERRITORIES OF ARCHIVOLOGY FROM THE PRINCIPLE OF TERRITORIALITY

Este artigo busca compreender as contribuições e repercussões do Princípio da Territorialidade para a identidade da Arquivologia como disciplina cientifica. Decorre de uma pesquisa exploratória, descritiva e explicativa que se propõe a identificar os marcos históricos e as definições do Princípio da Proveniência e do Princípio da Territorialidade. Destaca a importância desse último princípio para as teorias arquivísticas, considerando que esteve na pauta de congressos científicos internacionais de grande importância para a Arquivologia. Apresenta a definição de “arquivos deslocados”, situação que gera os chamados contenciosos arquivísticos, em que o Princípio da Territorialidade serve de base para a sua resolução ao manter o contexto dos documentos de arquivo.ABSTRACTThis article seeks to understand the contributions and repercussions of the Territoriality Principle for the identity of Archival Science as a scientific discipline. It results from an exploratory, descriptive and explanatory research that aims to identify the historical landmarks and definitions of the Principle of Provenance and the Principle of Territoriality. It highlights the importance of this last principle for archival theories, considering that it was on the agenda of international scientific congresses of great importance for Archivology. It presents the definition of “displaced archives”, a situation that generates the so-called archival disputes, in which the Principle of Territoriality serves as a basis for its resolution by maintaining the context of archival documents.

5. Jurisdiction

This chapter discusses the international legal concept of jurisdiction as well as the content of the relevant legal principles. The term jurisdiction relates to the authority of a state to exert its influence and power—in practice make, apply and enforce its rules—and create an impact or consequence on individuals or property. The chapter explains the difference between, respectively, the jurisdiction to prescribe and the jurisdiction to enforce and the main elements thereof. It analyses the different principles of prescriptive jurisdiction (the principle of territoriality, nationality, universality, protection and so-called passive personality) and discusses the issue of concurring jurisdictions as well as jurisdiction on ships and aircraft. It also discusses the prohibition on enforcing jurisdiction on the territory of another state as well as the legal consequences of violating that prohibition.

A jurisdição universal do Tribunal Penal Internacional e o deslocamento forçado do Povo Rohingya: o caso Myanmar v. Bangladesh do TPI

Resumo: O artigo analisa a jurisdição universal do Tribunal Penal Internacional de acordo com o previsto no Estatuto de Roma de 1998, bem como em consonância com os princípios da territorialidade, complementaridade e cooperação. O objetivo principal do artigo é estudar a incidência da jurisdição do Tribunal e o objetivo específico é analisar como a jurisdição universal do Tribunal pode ser aplicada aos crimes praticados no território de um Estado que não é parte do Estatuto de Roma, utilizando-se como fonte principal o caso do Povo Rohingya, que tem uma relação intrínseca com a tese da jurisdição universal do Tribunal Penal Internacional, aspecto que representa a originalidade do trabalho. O critério dedutivo foi o método adotado para o desenvolvimento do trabalho, com o estudo do aspecto normativo, doutrinário e jurisprudencial. O trabalho concluirá que a jurisdição universal do TPI deve ser reavaliada para ser aplicada de acordo com a releitura do princípio da soberania estatal e da adequada interpretação dos crimes internacionais de interesse da humanidade, sob a perspectiva interseccional para a consideração dos atos anti-imigração como crimes contra a humanidade.Palavras-chave: Tribunal Penal Internacional; Jurisdição universal; Estatuto de Roma; Deportação; Princípio da territorialidade; Estado que não é parte do Estatuto do Tribunal; Atos anti-imigração. Abstract: The article analyzes the universal jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court in accordance with the 1998 Rome Statute, as well as in line with the principles of territoriality, complementarity and cooperation. The main objective of the article is therefore to study the jurisdiction of the Court and the specific objective is to examine how the universal jurisdiction of the Court can be applied to crimes occurring in the territory of States that are not part of the Rome Statute, using as a source the case of the Rohingya People, which is intrinsically linked to the universal jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court, what is the original aspect of the paper. The deductive method was the methodology adopted for the development of the work, with the study of the normative, doctrinal and jurisprudential aspect. The work will conclude that the universal jurisdiction of the ICC should be re-evaluated to be applied in accordance with the re-reading of the principle of state sovereignty and the proper interpretation of international crimes of interest to humanity, from the intersectional perspective for the consideration of anti-immigration acts as crimes against humanity.Keywords: International Criminal Court; Universal Jurisdiction; Rome Statute; Deportation; Principle of territoriality; State did not accept the jurisdiction of the Court; Anti-immigration acts.

Ruling due to Bankruptcy Assets Debtors Beyond Areas in Indonesia

The purpose of this study is to examine the consequences of bankruptcy decisions on debtor assets outside the territory of Indonesia and to see the extent to which the bankruptcy law provides protection to creditors from debtors whose assets are located outside the territory of Indonesia. This is Normative legal Research with a statutory approach, a conceptual approach and a comparative approach. The results and discussion concluded that the bankruptcy decision handed down by the Commercial Court in Indonesia could have an impact on the debtor’s assets outside the territory of Indonesia in accordance with Article 21 of the Bankruptcy Law. The issue of execution is hindered by the principle of territoriality from other countries. The bankruptcy law has not fully provided legal protection for creditors if the debtor has assets outside the territory of Indonesia, as a way for curators to carry out private selling. Indonesia should adopt the Uncitral Model Law on cross-border insolvency (1997) or enter into international agreements, either bilateral or multilateral.

Frame Agreement For Cross-Border Cooperation Between Local Authorities

The cross-border cooperation of local authorities, taken up based on the administrative law of each of the states, is marked by both integrating factors that refer to the similarities of the applicable system of law and separating factors arising from the principle of territoriality of administrative law. The frame agreement is a smart solution (a smart tool) of cross-border cooperation, because it enables cooperating territorial self-government units to conduct a unique operation of ‘recompensing’ separating factors with integrating factors.

Mutual Recognition of Driving Licences in the EU – Current State of Integration and Perspectives

A driving licence is a document and an administrative act, which is, according to the principle of territoriality, only valid in the territory of the issuing State. This is incompatible with practical needs of international traffic, and mutual recognition helps to overcome the problem. This article presents the development of mutual recognition of driving licences in the EU, from pre-existing public international law to current harmonising legislation and the relevant ECJ jurisprudence. It finds that once there was sufficient harmonisation, the ECJ promoted mutual recognition, while the EU legislator had to close the loopholes for 'driving licence tourism' by amending the directives. Unlike in other areas of the internal market, primary law never played an important role for the mutual recognition of driving licences. Determining the current state of integration, the article identifies a lack of information exchange between Member States and a lack of harmonisation of sanctions as main obstacles for full, unconditional recognition, and proposes ways leading towards an 'internal market of driving licences'.

Conflict of Law Regulation in Cross-Border Copyright Inheritance

Inheritance is one of the legal means that ensure the effective implementation of copyright, therefore the protection of the interests of testators and their successors in cross-border matters is an important task of international private law. Modern national systems of inheritance and copyright operate independently. Due to the influence of economic, political and socio-cultural factors, the unification of substantive law of these industries is unlikely, so the conflict of law method of regulation remains dominant in this area. The paper highlights the main problems of conflict of law regulation of cross-border copyright inheritance and offers approaches to overcoming them. The authors address such issues as forms of manifestation of a foreign element in the relations of copyright inheritance; problems of distinguishing between intellectual and inheritance statutes; features of the application of the point of contact lex loci protectionis; the principle of territoriality, etc. Based on the analysis, it is concluded that the subordination of key issues of copyright inheritance to the conflict rules of the intellectual statute extends the principle of territoriality to these relations and necessitates multinational protection of these relations. The paper supports the opinion of scholars who criticise the concept of territoriality in matters of copyright protection, proving its ineffectiveness. Ultimately, the authors suggest that the tools of private international law allow for flexible approaches and do not equate copyright, which is more related to personal status, and industrial property rights, aimed at achieving commercial interests. It is proposed to achieve greater flexibility by detailing the scope of the conflict of law rules and establishing a system of conflict bindings, which will allow to choose the law that is more related to the circumstances of the case.

Geoblocking in EU Copyright Law: Challenges and Perspectives

EU copyright law has attempted to resolve the antithesis between the ideal of the single market and the concept of copyright territoriality through a modest approach, which is based on the axiom of safeguarding copyright territoriality and of the accompanying geoblocking practices. The aim of this article is to critically analyse the EU’s steps towards the circumvention of the principle of territoriality and of geoblocking and to demonstrate that, as the efforts to create a digital single market are intensified, a strict EU geoblocking policy in relation to services offering access to copyright-protected works cannot be retained. The article is divided into three parts. Part one is dedicated to the consequences of the principle of territoriality on European copyright law (II). Part two is dedicated to the steps, both jurisprudential and legislative, which have been taken to move away from the principle of copyright territoriality at the European level (III). Part three is dedicated to the recently adopted Geoblocking Regulation 2018/302, while possible ways to move forward are also analysed (IV).
