Public procurement-related crimes (in Czech republic) (summary of the dissertation) Vladislav Hřebíček In his paper, the author focuses on the area of public procurement-related crimes in the Czech Republic. As there has been no comprehensive coverage on the subject so far, the paper's primary ambition is to sum up the current state of knowledge while critically considering particular resources (mainly legislation and practice of courts), overlapping significantly into the area of daily practice of detecting such crimes and gathering evidence. In the first chapter, the author provides definitions for key terms and examines the term procurement from the perspectives of its legal definition as well as its interpretation based on court practice. Furthermore, the chapter specifies what is to be understood as procurement-related crime, placing this type of crime within the broader context of economic crime. At the same time, it offers answers to the related criminological questions and presents statistical data provided by the Police of the Czech Republic and the Czech Ministry of Interior. The second chapter gives the reader a historical overview of this area of law mainly from the perspective of criminal law. Covering the timeframe of 1918 (when the previous legislation was adopted) until the present day, it...

The aim of the present dissertation is to provide the fullest possible legal analysis of the complaint against a violation of law, including its historical and international context, and to endeavour to reflect critically on its current application in practice. In the author's approach, the review of criminal cases on the basis of the files prior to a possible application of this legal remedy is an indispensable object of study. Among other things, the work thoroughly analyzes the applicable grounds for the complaint against a violation of law, its purpose and role in the whole system of extraordinary remedies, and it describes the course as well as the specifics of the Supreme Court proceedings. Standard and optional methods of interpretation are complemented by an empirical examination of the sample of 80 complaints submitted to the Supreme Court, which is aimed at identifying and classifying the alleged flaws and the extent to which there might be an overlap with extraordinary appeal (dovolání). The chosen topic appears to be very timely with regard to the ongoing preparatory legislative work on the new Criminal Procedure Code. The descriptive passages are accompanied by the author's opinions on selected decisions of the Supreme Court and the deficiencies of the current legislation. Taken...

Trata-se do estudo da casuística internacional sobre as violações cometidas pelos Estados Unidos da América contra o artigo 36 da Convenção de Viena sobre Relações Consulares de 1963. A Corte Internacional de Justiça e a Corte Interamericana de Direitos Humanos interpretam, regulamentam e aprimoram o direito de informação sobre assistência consular para preso estrangeiro, que deixa de ser visto como um direito puramente inter-Estatal por ambos os tribunais. Abordamse questões de Direito Internacional Público, como a força vinculante das decisões da Corte Internacional de Justiça, e sua íntima relação com o direito interno do Estado parte do tratado, inclusive com relação aos Estados terceiros ao litígio internacional, como o Brasil. Em sendo um componente do pacote das garantias do devido processo legal, o prejuízo causado ao réu estrangeiro pela falta de informação sobre o direito de assistência consular pode ensejar o reconhecimento de nulidade processual penal absoluta. / This is the study of international cases relating the violations committed by the United States of America against the article 36 of the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations of 1963. The International Court of Justice and the Inter-American Court of Human Rights have the opportunity to interpret, regulate and enhance the right to information on consular assistance to foreign detainee, who is no longer seen as a purely inter-State law by both Courts. The study addresses issues of Public International Law, as the binding force of decisions of the International Court of Justice, and its close relationship with the Domestic Law of the State party to the treaty, including with respect to third states to the international dispute. Considered a human right, part of the package of guarantees of due process, the demonstrated prejudice caused to the foreign defendant for lack of information about his right to consular assistance may cause the recognition of absolute nullity of criminal procedure.

The first one, of mere half of application of the sanction to the offender of the criminal law, started to be an instrument of guardianship of the individual against possible state wills, crowned for the basic human rights and guided for the supply-principle of the dignity of the person human being, as reflected of the culture of the democratic societies. The Criminal Procedural law acquired scientific contours in the end of century XIX, due to the own elevation of the Jurisprudence to science. The called general theory of the process aims at in general systemize the studies on the process, without propitiating to the researcher the necessary knowledge for the accurate understanding of the analyzed institute. In Brazil, the process of democratization restored for the Constitution of the Republic of 1988 inspired the elaboration of works specialized for the scientists of the area of the Criminal Procedural law. The understanding of justinian codes, rules and proper principles of the criminal proceeding demands specialized knowledge. These works raise legal science to become efficient the criminal proceeding half to reach the common good, in order to protect the double society in sensible: against the possible current state excesses of power-having to punish in the search offender of the criminal law during criminal persecution e; against the violators of the social peace (the criminals). The meeting of these specialized works of the scientists makes possible the system organization of a proper theory of the Procedural law Criminal, capable to form a new school of criminal procedures. The organization of the legal system through the systematic thought allows the vision of, but without generalizations the all undesirable one, that depreciation the study object. The specialized knowledge can imply in the elaboration of a Code of criminal procedure democratic and efficient, capable to protect the accused and of punishing the criminal in a swift and safe way / O processo penal e o Direito Processual Penal evoluíram através das conquistas da humanidade. O primeiro, de mero meio de aplicação da sanção ao infrator da lei penal, passou a ser um instrumento de tutela do indivíduo contra possíveis arbítrios estatais, coroado pelos direitos humanos fundamentais e norteado pelo supra-princípio da dignidade da pessoa humana, como reflexo da cultura das sociedades democráticas. O Direito Processual Penal adquiriu contornos científicos no final do século XIX, decorrente da própria elevação da Jurisprudência à ciência. A denominada teoria geral do processo visa a sistematizar os estudos sobre o processo em geral, sem propiciar ao pesquisador o conhecimento necessário para a exata compreensão do instituto analisado. No Brasil, o processo de democratização instaurado pela Constituição da República de 1988 inspirou a elaboração de trabalhos especializados pelos cientistas da área do Direito Processual Penal. A compreensão de institutos, regras e princípios próprios do processo penal exige conhecimento especializado. Esses trabalhos elevam a ciência jurídica para tornar o processo penal eficiente meio de alcançar o bem comum, a fim de proteger a sociedade em duplo sentido: contra os possíveis excessos estatais decorrentes do poder-dever de punir na busca infrator da lei penal durante a persecução penal e; contra os violadores da paz social (os criminosos). A reunião desses trabalhos especializados dos cientistas possibilita a organização sistêmica de uma teoria própria do Direito Processual Penal, capaz de formar uma nova escola de processualistas penais. A organização do ordenamento jurídico através do pensamento sistemático permite a visão do todo, mas sem generalizações indesejáveis, que denigrem o objeto de estudo. O conhecimento especializado pode implicar na elaboração de um Código de Processo Penal democrático e eficiente, capaz de proteger o acusado e de punir o culpado de forma célere e segura

[pt] A presente dissertação tem por objetivo estabelecer critérios para a ponderação no Direito Penal e Processual Penal utilizando a contribuição da teoria garantista ao debate brasileiro sobre direitos fundamentais. Esses critérios estão orientados para a prevalência dos direitos fundamentais e, em especial, das liberdades individuais, sobre o interesse público repressivo, no âmbito do direito criminal. A utilização da técnica de ponderação, por implicar num juízo subjetivo e valorativo do direito, traz consigo o risco de uma atuação jurisdicional que ameace conquistas como o Estado de direito, a democracia e os direitos fundamentais. Pretende-se estabelecer uma reserva de ponderação dessas garantias a partir da afirmação de margens ou limites para essa atuação do Poder Judiciário. Outrossim, esses critérios são estabelecidos sob a égide da racionalidade (que deve estar presente na fundamentação do Estado, na justificação do direito e na atuação jurisdicional) e da teoria garantista. / [en] The present dissertation has for objective to establish criteria for the balancing in the Criminal and Criminal Procedural Law using the contribution of the garantist theory to the Brazilian debate on fundamental rights. These criteria are guided for the prevalence of basic rights and especially the individual freedoms over the repressive public interest. The use of the balancing technique, for implying in a subjective and valorative judgment of the law, brings the risk of a jurisdictional performance that threatens conquests as the Rule of law, democracy and fundamental rights. It is intended to establish a balancing reserve of these guarantees by the affirmation of edges or limits for this performance of the Judiciary Power. These criteria are established using the rationality (that must be present in the justification of the State, of the law and of the jurisdictional performance) anda the garantist theory.
