International Liability for Damage caused by Genetically Modified Organisms

International Liability for Damage caused by Genetically Modified Organisms

This publication is part of the »International Max Planck Information System for Comparative Criminal Law,« a project at the heart of the comparative legal research of the Max Planck Institute for Foreign and International Criminal Law in Freiburg/Germany. A primary objective of this project is to develop a universal meta-structure of criminal law that can serve as the basis for the organization of material, enable systematic comparisons, and further the development of an international criminal law doctrine. Towards these ends, a pilot project was carried out to analyze, structure, and present the General Part of the criminal law in twelve legal systems (published in five volumes). In the meantime, the number of legal systems included in the study has grown considerably. First fruits of this expansion are presented here, with the publication of reports from Australia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Hungary, India, Iran, Japan, Romania, Russia, Switzerland, Uruguay, and the United States of America.
