Informatie- en communicatietechnologie is in hoge mate grenzeloos en relativeert het belang van territorialiteit. Het handelingsvermogen van de staat, in het bijzonder waar het gaat om de handhaving van de rechtsorde, komt daardoor onder druk te staan. De criminaliteit – waaronder cybercriminaliteit – als gevolg van deze grensoverschrijdende technologische ontwikkelingen krijgt doorgaans voldoende aandacht. Veel minder aandacht gaat echter naar ondermijning van rechtsstatelijke waarborgen. Zo ontbreekt vaak toetsing door het openbaar ministerie, komen zaken niet altijd meer voor de (Europese) rechter, worden opsporingsbevoegdheden ingezet voor andere doelen, of is er sprake van een vervaging tussen de politie- en de inlichtingenfunctie. Wat betekent dit alles voor de ontwikkeling van de politiefunctie? Hoe verhouden handhavingsopportuniteiten en efficiëntiewinsten voor de bijzondere inspectiediensten zich met de bescherming van de persoonlijke levenssfeer?

Volume II

The Law of the Future and the Future of Law

The Law of the Future and the Future of Law is a unique collection of 'think pieces' in which a wide variety of experts share their thoughts on how they envision the future of law. By asking the question -What do you see as the most significant challenges for the development of the law? What developments are we likely to see in the coming two to three decades? What do those developments mean for national legal systems as a whole?- the Hague Institute for the Internationalisation of Law (HiiL) has canvassed the views of a large number of renowned experts in particular areas of law. This volume was prepared as part of the Law of the Future Joint Action Programme and as the basis of the Law of the Future Conference on 23 and 24 June 2011. The Law of the Future Joint Action Programme is based on the premise that prospective thinking about law is not only desirable but also required in order to ensure that law and legal systems do not become obsolete, ineffective or unjust. The aim is to set a world standard in thinking ahead, to guide decision makers today. For more information, visit www.lawofthefuture.org.
