Mapping Universal Jurisdiction
Prof. Dr. Florian Jeßberger leads the project 'Mapping
Universal Jurisdiction - Dokumentation und Aufbereitung der nationalen Praxis
universeller Jurisdiktion für die Lehre' ( 'Mapping Universal Jurisdiction:
Documenting and Processing National Practise in Unviersal Jurisdiction for Use
in Education') at the University of
Hamburg. Working on the basis of the Völkerstrafgesetzbuch, the project marks
the first comprehensive appraisal of universal jurisdiction to date. Its aim is
to facilitate legal training in this area. The project will collect, classify
and process all relevant decisions made by the German criminal prosecution
service and criminal courts, and make them available in full text form.
