Summary
The late Günter Heine's Gießener companions and colleagues pay tribute to the jurist's leitmotif of retaining criminal law's essence as the ultima ratio. The contributions collected here focus on three controversial problems currently facing German and international criminal law: In terms of environmental and commercial criminal law, how can companies rather than individuals be held criminally responsible? How can criminal law better safeguard life in light of contemporary challenges? And how can criminal law be effectively implemented within international human rights?
