Description
Summary:Abstract. The author analyzes the assumptions and intradogmatic consequences of the so-called Enemy Criminal Law by studying the texts of Professor Jakobs, and confronting them with the criminal paradigms of a State of Law. The objective transcript of the texts written by this Bonn’s Professor evidences that its promotional functionalist strategy has clear effects on the field of substantive and procedural safeguards; in particular, his concepts of “person” and “enemy” are radically inconsistent with the principles of an anthropological view of Criminal Law, which does not admit the possibility of excluding a segment of citizens from the general system of democratic guarantees and manifests an unacceptable disregard of Human Dignity, the basic value which the Democratic State of Law seeks to protect.
