"En el presente trabajo me voy a ocupar, por una parte, de la causalidad en la omisión impropia, para tratar de determinar si en esa forma de realización típica existe entre la inactividad y el resultado una relación de causalidad, o de (cuasi)causalidad, o, más bien, algo que no tiene nada que ver, ni de lejos, con cualquier concepto en el que aparezca la expresión “causalidad”. Una vez resuelto ese problema, pasaré a abordar lo que se ha dado en llamar la “omisión por comisión”, que recibe ese nombre porque, según una extendida opinión, ahí estaríamos ante supuestos en los que un hacer positivo cumple el tipo de una omisión, propia o impropia según los casos. Como el tratamiento científico de esa supuesta “omisión por comisión” exige tener una idea clara sobre la causalidad, tanto en el delito de acción como en el de omisión, de ahí que los conocimientos adquiridos en la primera parte de este trabajo tengan una decisiva importancia para solucionar los problemas que se plantean en la segunda. Es por ello por lo que me he decidido por agrupar en una única investigación científica el estudio de la causalidad en la omisión impropia y el de la llamada “omisión por comisión”.

No todos los delitos se cometen activamente; ignorar el deber ser también puede tener consecuencias penales. Pensemos en un guardia que no baja las plumas que delimitan las vías del tren, dejando que este impacte al conductor al que dejó pasar por ellas, o en los vigilantes que, ante una tromba, no abren las compuertas de una presa para liberar la presión, lo que deriva en la destrucción de esta. Ambos, ante sus respectivas omisiones, podrían tener una responsabilidad legal. Aunque estos ejemplos son claramente delitos, es importante preguntarnos: ¿hasta dónde puede considerarse que un comportamiento pasivo es penalmente sancionable? En otras palabras: ¿qué condiciones tienen que cumplir este tipo de conductas para que se puedan considerar como un delito de omisión? En esta segunda edición de Estudios sobre el delito de omisión, Enrique Gimbernat, uno de los penalistas contemporáneos más reconocidos, explica aquello que hace que una “no acción” pueda ser penada, explorando una taxonomía sobre las distintas manifestaciones e implicaciones de este tipo de delitos.

Reflecting a global trend, scores of countries have affirmed that their citizens are entitled to healthy air, water, and land and that their constitution should guarantee certain environmental rights. This book examines the increasing recognition that the environment is a proper subject for protection in constitutional texts and for vindication by constitutional courts. This phenomenon, which the authors call environmental constitutionalism, represents the confluence of constitutional law, international law, human rights, and environmental law. National apex and constitutional courts are exhibiting a growing interest in environmental rights, and as courts become more aware of what their peers are doing, this momentum is likely to increase. This book explains why such provisions came into being, how they are expressed, and the extent to which they have been, and might be, enforced judicially. It is a singular resource for evaluating the content of and hope for constitutional environmental rights.

This book offers an in-depth study of the command responsibility doctrine, pursuant to which military commanders and civilian leaders can be held responsible for the crimes committed by their subordinates that they failed to prevent or punish. This form of responsibility has gained much attention in the last years; however, it still presents several open questions and critical difficulties arise in its application. The author traces the roots of such criminal responsibility, from its military origins to its first appearances in international case law after World War II. Particular attention is given to the jurisprudence of the ad hoc Tribunals, which extensively elaborated on the issue, and to the provision of Article 28 of the Statute of the International Criminal Court. The book provides a systematic analysis of command responsibility, outlining its different forms and finding a proper role for it within the complex net of responsibilities that connotes the commission of international crimes. This book is an important contribution to the literature and worldwide discussion on command responsibility and therefore highly recommended to scholars of international law, criminal law and international criminal law as well as to all practitioners (judges, legal assistants, prosecutors, defence counsels) working at or with international tribunals, experts in the military field, investigators dealing with international crimes, NGOs and journalists. Chantal Meloni is working as a Researcher at the Criminal Law Department of the UniversitàdegliStudi of Milan, Italy. Since several years she specializes in international criminal law. She spent long research periods abroad, in particular at the Humboldt Universität of Berlin in Germany. She also worked at the International Criminal Court as a Legal Assistant in Chambers.
The Government and authorities in Brazil were faced with a tragic accident in Goiânia resulting from the misuse of a strongly radioactive medical teletherapy source not under radiation protection surveillance. The present report is divided into four parts: a chronology of destruction of the source, discovery of the accident and initial response; a description of the human consequences and the dosimetry and treatment of seriously exposed and contaminated persons; an account of the assessment of the environmental contamination and the remedial actions taken; and observations and recommendations. Appendices and annexes give an assessment of the effectiveness of international co-operation in the emergency response, and provide further information on: public communications; radiological survey equipment; guidelines for the discharge of patients; radiological protection; chemical decontamination; and the lessons learned.
This report from the Council for International Organizations of Medical Sciences (CIOMS) in collaboration with WHO covers the activities and outputs of the CIOMS/WHO Working Group on Vaccine Pharmacovigilance (2005-2010). This working group brought together experts from both industrialized and emerging countries representing regulatory agencies, vaccine industry, national and international public health bodies including WHO and CIOMS, academia and clinical care, contributing from their different perspectives. The report covers general terms and definitions for vaccine safety and discusses the application of such harmonized tools in vaccine safety surveillance and studies. As well, the report highlights case definitions for adverse events typically reported for vaccines. The report is addressed to those engaged in vaccine safety data collection and evaluation, and will also make a useful reading for others who want to familiarize themselves with vaccine safety terminology.
The book focuses on the substantive protections accorded to investors and investments and on the variations among jurisdictions. Among the many specific issues and topics that arise in the course of the discussion are the following: - problems of transparency and conflict of interest; - the recent growth in IIAs between and among developing nations; - the effect of new model bilateral investment treaties (BITs); - the ability of non-disputing parties to participate in investor-state arbitration; - theories of the interaction of foreign direct investment (FDI) and BITs; - investor-state arbitration as an evasion of public regulatory authority; - the role of investment funds in international investment; - 'fork in the road' provisions; and - institutional versus ad hoc arbitration. International business and other investors will greatly appreciate the in-depth information and insightful guidance in this solidly useful book. It will also be welcomed by jurists and students as a significant milestone in the development of principles in a quickly growing field of practice that is still plagued with inconsistencies.
