Main themes

The object of this course is that of the incriminations and, through those, of the values protected by the criminal law, of the stakes of the criminal policy related to the processes of incrimination, and of the principles that the creation of the incriminations must respect. The principle of legality, which governs the production of the incriminations, will be in particular examined in its various aspects, in the framework of the progressive displacement of the definition of the criminal law out of the national borders. The course will examine a selected number of criminal offences - traditional infringements (such as fight, murder…) and recent infringements (such as money laundering, terrorism, racism…), in order to highlight the evolutions of the legislative technique, the shift of the limits of the criminal responsibility, the problems involved in the interpretation of complex rules. The influence of the international and European law will be taken into account.

Other information

A basic knowledge of the criminal law's principles have to be known. It will be mobilized during the teachings and in the final evaluation (e.g.: application of the criminal law in the time and the space, attempt, criminal participation').
