The human rights argument for the abolishment of the death penalty has been firmly established in modern times in both practical terms and in the academic circles. Today, most countries have abolished the death penalty for various reasons, all of which are based on human rights. This paper is a contribution to the numerous studies calling for the abolition of the death penalty in various countries. Aside from discussing relevant international instruments (and other national instruments and judicial decisions) relevant to abolishing the death penalty, it focuses on issues concerning the death penalty in Ghana. The primary aim of this paper is to make a recommendation to both the executive and legislative arms of the Ghana government to abolish the death penalty.

In 2016-2017, an earthquake hit central Italy, in particular the Marche region. In 2011, Japan was devastated by the Fukushima nuclear disaster and in 2005 Hurricane Katrina struck the southwest coast of the United States. This work, starting from the analysis of public housing reconstruction process in Italy, will afterwards analyse the legislation adopted by the Japanese and the American governments in the same field. The aim of the work will be, on the one hand, to highlight the best practices adopted by the three governments in public housing buildings reconstruction process and, on the other hand, to understand which policies, used in Japan and in the U.S.A., can be “imported” in the Marche region, as far as public housing reconstruction process is concerned.

There are two leading duties that react to the agency problem in the corporate regulation – duty of loyalty and duty of care. The purpose of this paper is to answer the question whether, under what circumstances and on what grounds, it would be permissible to modify the two general duties either on the basis of an exception presumed by the law, or upon an agreement between a company and its director. With this purpose in mind, the authors analyse the respective legal regulation in three countries, namely Germany, Great Britain and the Czech Republic. While the modification of obligatory loyalty has been understood by the analysed legal systems within certain boundaries, they deal with the decreasing of the standard of care in a more positive way, whether through a direct modification of the standard of care or indirect modification through determining the role of an elective body member.

The purpose of this short commentary is to present a critical legal analysis of the recent Czech Constitutional Court’s judgment on trans rights. The paper puts forward an external legal perspective characteristic for critical jurisprudence and it aims to show the presence of antagonistic interests and the extra-legal (ideological) factors that permeates and influences the judicial decision-making. It outlines some of the theoretical assumptions of critical jurisprudence which are, subsequently, applied to the Court’s judgment. More specifically, it follows the theoretical project of agonistic jurisprudence and attempts to show how it could be utilised in the context of judicial decision-making.

The article analyses two decisions of the European Court of Justice issued last year against Hungary, with the aim of outlining a new trend in the Court’s caselaw, where threats to the rule of law are confronted without making express reference to it. The profiles of the two judgements that are investigated are three, and namely: the timing of the procedures, the role of discrimination in the assessment of violations of the TFEU rules on the freedom of movement of capital and services, the assessment of violations of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union alongside TFEU violations. The purpose of the article is to prove that the infringement procedure under Art. 258 TFEU can be successfully used to hinder antidemocratic drifts and illiberal trends even when a case is designed as purely technical and the rule of law is not called in, which may ultimately shield the Court itself from accusations of being too politically involved in Member States’ affairs.
