Criminal Law Review, January 2000, pp8-30. This article examines the elements of restorative justice introduced by the Crime and Disorder Act 1998. It argues that restorative processes will continue to occupy a marginal place in criminal justice until contradictory values and practices of blaming and punishing are given significantly less emphasis and restorative values and practices are given more emphasis.
Pinochet and Double Criminality, M Birnbaum. Criminal Law Review, March 2000, pp127-139. Whilst the Pinochet case has generated much discussion on the issue of state immunity, comparatively little attention has been given to the decision in the House of Lords on double criminality. It is contended that the reasoning is fundamentally flawed. There was no justification in law, logic or morality for confining the scope of the case against Pinochet to a few offences alleged to have been committed in the final years of his Presidency. The decision illustrates the inadequacy of national legal systems to deal with alleged atrocities in other states and the pressing need for an International Criminal Court.
