De stra.fvorderlijke inbeslagneming van gegevensdragers en de vrijheid van meningsuiting
en drukpers in een internationaal en rechtsvergelijkend perspectief =The coercive
measure

seizure and the freedom
of
speech and the press in an international and
comparative perspective [t). -Tomesen, Lucienne. - Arnhem: Gouda Quint, 1995. - xix,

This Ph.D thesis describes the area
of
tension between the freedom
of
speech and the press
and the coercive measure
of
seizure provided for under the Dutch law
of
criminal
procedure in an international and comparative context. The extent to which freedom
of
speech and the press form an impediment to seizure is its central issue. In subsequent
chapters, the regulation
of
freedom
of
speech and the press and seizure in the Netherlands,
Germany, England and Sweden is considered.

This publication is the first volume'
of
thematic human rights guides published under the
auspices
of
the Raoul Wallenberg Institute
of
Human Rights and Humanitarian Law. The
aim is to facilitate working with international human rights standards by their systematic
presentation. Rather than reproducing full text
of
various instruments, substantive standards
have been grouped according to subject-matter to enable users to quickly locate the topic
they are looking for. For this purpose a detailed index with references to all international
instruments which addresses the same subject is added. This first volume provides the
reader with an overview
of
the nature, meaning and scope
of
specific rights and freedoms
relating to women.
Transitional justice :how emerging democracies reckon with former regimes: general
considerations. -Kritz, Neil J. (ed.) - Washington: US Institute of Peace, 1995. - xxx, 604 p.
ISBN: 1-878379-43-7
Many countries deal these days with the problems
of
an emerging democracy: how to cope
with the legacy
of
an ousted repressive regime, and how to create a new society which
redresses past abuses without creating new injustices. This dilemma raises theoretical as
well as practical questions about issues such as criminal trials and administrative purges
of
those who served the old regime, compensation and rehabilitation, 'truth commissions',
retribution versus impunity, and the consequences
of
all these decisions for long-term
stability. This volume is the first in a series
of
three; it assembles a variety
of
legal,
political, and philosophical perspectives on how societies emerging from repression can
deal with these problems.
