Does the Polish development concern us — the European citizens and the European institutions we have set up? There is a functional and a normative argument to state that it does. The normative argument is that the European Union organizes a community of states that profess allegiance to a set of fundamental values—among others, democracy, the rule of law, and human rights. The functional reason is that the European legal space presupposes mutual trust. European law operates on the presumption that all institutions are law-abiding. Otherwise, the legal edifice crumbles.
The application of the EU Commission’s Rule of Law Framework in the current Polish case is a step in the right direction. It seems a good instance to develop the Framework as an EU mechanism to protect European constitutional values in a European legal space which is rife with constitutional crises, but short of instruments to address them. Its pertinence appears even more clearly in comparison to the Council’s (in)activity under its own rule-of-law mechanism, hastily put forward after the Commission’s Framework. The activation of the Framework has shown its potential to mobilize European public opinion and orient public discourses to the current condition of EU values
Die Diskussion über die Frage, ob die Politik offener Grenzen mit dem geltenden Recht in Einklang steht, gewinnt an Dynamik und Tiefenschärfe. Wir freuen uns, dass mit Roman Lehner erstmals ein Fachkollege auf unsere andernorts vertretene Auslegung der Dublin III-VO und des Schengener Grenzkodex erwidert und uns dabei attestiert hat, mit Art. 20 IV Dublin III "einen sehr klugen Gedanken in die Debatte gebracht" zu haben. Im Ergebnis widerspricht uns Lehner gleichwohl. Seine Gegenthese lautet im Kern: Schutzanträge an der deutsch-österreichischen oder einer anderen Binnengrenze unterfallen Art. 3 Abs. 1 und nicht Art. 20 Abs. 4 Dublin-III-VO, weshalb die Zuständigkeits- und letztlich die Antragsprüfung in Deutschland und nicht in Österreich stattzufinden haben. Dieser Einwand beruht freilich auf einem grundlegenden Missverständnis der Konzeption des Gemeinsamen Europäischen Asylsystems (GEAS) und speziell des Art. 3 Abs. 1 S. 1 Dublin III.
This article analyzes how cultural translation was carried out in Manuel Quintín Lame’s interpretation of Law 89 of 1980 during the indigenous revolt that took place in Tierradentro – Cauca (Colombia) between 1914 and 1916: riots that were popularly referred to as La Quintiada. The main focus here is on Lame and his contemporaries’ visions of justice regarding the possession of the land as a way to account for the richness and complexity of the »cultural baggage« behind legal transfer processes. The purpose of this exercise is to detail the extrajuridical elements involved in legal transfers and the opportunities that a cultural translation of law approach can bring in order to understand this process.
The grammar of global law
(2016)
Legal grammar is understood as the conceptual and linguistic foundation on which legal decisions rest – law’s meta-structure, its argumentative techniques and its systematicity. The essay distinguishes between two ways of thinking about this grammar. The first way of thinking appeals to a grammar as a stabilizing factor, maintaining the coherence of the law. The second way of thinking highlights the asymmetries of power within this structure and perceives legal grammar as the medium carrying the ideological commitments of the law. As the essay ultimately argues, both perspectives react differently to the challenges of globalization that the law is confronted with. While the debate on the grammar(s) of global law is one place where future political order is negotiated, the outcome of the debate is largely open.
