Abortion is a quasi-eternal problem of humanity. For decades it has been – and continues to be – a highly debated political and legal issue in the Western world on both sides of the Atlantic.The contending political camps are often defined as ‘pro-life’ or ‘pro-choice’. From a more legal perspective, the opposing positions may be described by the terms ‘indication model’ – where terminations are permitted in certain circumstances – and ‘time limitation model’ – where termination within a certain period of pregnancy is permitted on demand. Based upon a worldwide survey on abortion law and practice in a total of 64 countries carried out by the Max-Planck Institute for Foreign and International Criminal Law in Freiburg (Germany), the authors developed a ‘third way’. This ‘third way’, which may be described as a ‘discourse model’, reflects the conviction that the decision to terminate must, in the final analysis, be taken by the pregnant woman herself subject to her own responsibility and that the legal system must treat her decision with respect.Along with a summary of social conditions and historical developments and a detailed comparison of legal regulations, supplemented by statistics on the termination of pregnancy, the authors arrive at their concluding reflections. Important findings, insights and trends are summarized and starting points and guidelines for reforms are pointed out. The book ends with a proposed regulation intended to provide those interested in an optimal regulation of the issue with food for thought.Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. mult., M.C.J.

La creación de un Sistema Integral de Verdad, Justicia y No Repetición, y particularmente la de su componente de justicia, como desarrollo de los Acuerdos de Paz celebrados en la Habana entre el Gobierno colombiano y las FARC-EP, ha generado mucha controversia en nuestro país; algunas voces críticas señalan que, existiendo una jurisdicción penal ordinaria, era innecesaria la creación de una Jurisdicción Especial para la Paz; censuran la concesión de amnistías e indultos en el marco de la misma, y critican que los crímenes cometidos durante en conflicto armado sean sancionados con penas más leves que las previstas en la legislación ordinaria para estos delitos. Interrogantes como estos tienen que ver con antiguas discusiones sobre la naturaleza y función tanto del derecho penal como del sistema de sanciones que lo caracteriza y, en tiempos más recientes, con el surgimiento y desarrollo de la llamada Justicia Transicional.
