Zeitenwende im Strafrecht? (Hannah Pauline Welling)

»Turning Point in Criminal Law? Section 109h of the German Criminal Code and the Concept of Neutrality«: This paper examines criminal liability for recruiting into foreign military service under 109h, focusing on Germany's foreign-policy neutrality as a protected legal interest and whether it can be understood under public international law and persists within collective security systems and evaluates 109h as an abstract endangerment offence.
