Law

The Federal Climate Protection Act obliges public authorities to take climate concerns into account in their plannings and decisions. Miriam Köhl places Section 13 (1) sentence 1 KSG in the context of other climate protection-related consideration obligations and examines what contribution such regulations can make to climate protection.

Florian Grießer develops a system for the structuring of statements of case in civil proceedings. It allows the parties wide freedom in presenting their case while enabling them to display content-related references. Inspired by sanctions from English civil procedure, he then proposes an enforcement mechanism for the structuring concept.

German intelligence services are integrated into military reconnaissance in a variety of ways and as such are placed alongside the Bundeswehr's own structures. The Bundesnachrichtendienst, for example, also acts as the military foreign intelligence service. The contributions collected here shed light on this cross-sectional topic of security law, which so far has only partially been explored. This volume documents the results of the 5th Symposium on the Law of Intelligence Services, which took place in Berlin from 21 to 22 March 2024.

Max Strobel examines the European Union's enforcement strategies using the example of the Frontex Regulation and connects legal analysis with the current state of compliance research. On this basis, he formulates clear requirements for the distribution of (implementation) competences between the EU and its member states. Specifically, he addresses the question of whether the European Border and Coast Guard Agency (Frontex) should be vested with executive powers and thus directly enforce EU law.
