Main themes The topics covered will include questions related to the execution of all types of criminal sanctions(custodial sentenes, restrictions of personal liberty or financial sanctions). It will also examine the issue of the execution of sanctions imposed abroad, as well as the rules governing the registration or deletion of convictions in criminal records.
Aims The course aims at supplementing the training of the students in criminal matters, by focusing on the end of the prenal process : the excecution of criminal sanctions. Three specific objectives assigned with the course are: - to familiarize the students with the fundamental principles, the concepts and the legal technique which are specific to the execution of criminal sanctions - to learn them to handle the legal sources applicable in the field (statute, case law and doctrine); - to develop their critical sense and make them sensitive to respect of human rights for the weakest.
Content After a general introduction devoted to the sources and the actors of the execution of criminal sanctions, the course will deal successively with the execution of custodial sentences, of restrictions of liberty, of financial sentences and of sentences imposed abroad. It will also address the issue of memory and oblivion of criminal convictions (criminal records, amnesty, …). The course will take the form of lectures, but it will be illustrated by many examples and practical cases, allowing the students both to better integrate certain theoretical concepts and to see how the criminal sanction can be experienced concretely. The course will also be adapted to the questions of the moment, taking into account the more specific reflections they may give rise to
Other information A written, open book, examination will be organised, during which the students will be allowed to use all materials they want to. Evaluation criteria will be: understanding and mastery of the subject matter; rigour, clearness and precision in the formulation of the answers.
