Aunque La doctrina de La empresa criminal común ha sido abiertamente defendida por la jurisprudencia penal internacional, no ha quedado totalmente exenta de críticas. En particular, es controvertida la "tercera categoria" de la empresa criminal comun, consistente en La atribucion de responsabilidad con base en la previsibilidad y La asuncion voluntaria del riesgo de que se cometa un delito ajeno al plan o empresa comun. Antonio Cassese considera que, aunque la mayoria de criticas no son acertadas, al menos dos son pertinentes: (i) que La Sala de Apelaciones del Tribunal Penal Internacional para La ex Yugoslavia en Tadie (1999) erro al emplear indiscriminadamente terminologia tipica tanto de la tradicion del civillaw como del common law, y (ii) que el estandar de previsibilidad, algo ambiguo como elemento de la culpabilidad y causacion en el derecho penal, requiere cierta precision. En terminos generales, el concepto de empresa criminal comun debe restringirse. Por ejemplo, en Kvoeka, la Sala de Primera Instancia del Tribunal Penal Internacional para La ex Yugoslavia acerto al indicar que La contribucion de un individuo a un plan criminal comun debe ser "sustancial" (sin embargo, la Sala de Apelaciones discrepo en cierta medida). Asimismo, respecto a la tercera categoria de empresa criminal comun, Cassese, tras sentar las bases sociales y juridicas del criterio de previsibilidad y los motivos subyacentes a su aceptacion en derecho penal internacional, sugiere distintas vias para restringirla. Una de ellas podria consistir.

Sobre el estado de la discusión con respecto a los "ataques informáticos" o ciberataques. Un ataque informático constituye la forma más intensa de lo que puede ser considerado como unaguerra cibernética, esto es, el uso de medios tecnicos para pelear una guerra contra un enemigo en el ciberespacio. El motivo de interes en los ataques informaticos es que por lo general solo estas formas de delitos cometidos en el ciberespacio son lo suficientemente serias para ser calificadas como crimenes internacionales y, asi, quedar cubiertas por una jurisdiccion penal internacional.Como la de la Corte Penal Internacional. En lo que se refiere a la "responsabilidad penal internacional", el debate actual se concentra principalmente en la aplicacion del derecho de los conflictos armados, o derecho internacional humanitario, a los ataques informaticos (infra B). El debate es menos intenso en relacion con la posible responsabilidad penal por un crimende agresion (infra C). Por ultimo, practicamente no hay ningun debate con respecto a la comision de crimenes contra la humanidad mediante ataques informaticos, pero vale la pena realizar una breve mirada a esta posibilidad siguiendo la discusion de los crimenes de guerra (infra D). Por supuesto que hay muchas otras cuestiones relativas a la responsabilidad penal internacional en el ciberespacio, pero su tratamiento excede el proposito de este articulo.

En cuanto a la contraposición de derecho natural y positivismo jurídico, se trata de una contraposición verdaderamente clásica. Ningún manual de filosofía del derecho excluye este tema, no hay una sola discusion de filosofia del derecho en la que ya sea como reproche o como sustento argumentativo enunciados iuspositivistas o iusnaturalistas pudiesen carecer de importancia. En lo que sigue no deseo resolver este conflicto en modo alguno; solamente se debe desarrollar en la medida de lo posible una comprension precisa de que posiciones son adecuadamente etiquetadas como iusnaturalistas o como iuspositivistas y cuales no. Y aqui se hace manifiesta una gran cantidad de malentendidos y juicios equivocados, a saber, tanto en relacion al positivismo juridico como al derecho natural.

En el Derecho Internacional Público, los Estados han sido históricamente considerados, al igual que por algunos autores, como los principales actores en la Sociedad Internacional.El Estado ha tenido una gran importancia en la Sociedad Internacional moderna, sobre todo en el siglo XX.

Sherlock Holmes is a fictional detective of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, who first appeared in publication in 1887. He is the creation of Scottish born author and physician Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. A brilliant London-based detective, Holmes is famous for his intellectual prowess, and is renowned for his skillful use of deductive reasoning (somewhat mistakenly - see inductive reasoning) and astute observation to solve difficult cases. He is arguably the most famous fictional detective ever created, and is one of the best known and most universally recognizable literary characters in any genre. Conan Doyle wrote four novels and fifty-six short stories that featured Holmes. All but four stories were narrated by Holmes friend and biographer, Dr. John H. Watson, two having been narrated by Holmes himself, and two others written in the third person. The first two stories, short novels, appeared in Beetons Christmas Annual for 1887 and Lippincotts Monthly Magazine in 1890.

This book contains now several HTML tables of contents that will make reading a real pleasure!The Federalist Papers are a series of 85 articles advocating the ratification of the United States Constitution. Seventy-seven of the essays were published serially in The Independent Journal and The New York Packet between October 1787 and August 1788. A compilation of these and eight others, called The Federalist, was published in 1788 by J. and A. McLean.The Federalist Papers serve as a primary source for interpretation of the Constitution, as they outline the philosophy and motivation of the proposed system of government. The authors of the Federalist Papers wanted to both influence the vote in favor of ratification and shape future interpretations of the Constitution. According to historian Richard B. Morris, they are an "incomparable exposition of the Constitution, a classic in political science unsurpassed in both breadth and depth by the product of any later American writer."
