European Criminal Law Book Review

Summary/Abstract: Our distinguished colleague, Professor Vasile Păvăleanu, who is the well-known author of the courses of General Criminal Law and Special Criminal Law [1], [2] and of the Handbook of Criminal Procedure Law [3], always concerned with the understanding and interpretation of what is new, generously offers us the volume European Criminal Law [4], a reference work in the field, the fruit of a long-lasting and appreciated activity.As we all know, international criminal law represents the materialization of the dream of a Romanian jurist, V.V. Pella, who dared, 100 years ago, to suggest to the academic community the re-establishment of the world on the basis of peace accomplished by law. Criminality, as a common enemy of the civilized states, he said, creates a sense of international solidarity that must be used in order to "unify the fundamental principles governing the practice of repression." The fight against criminality and impunity must be a common goal for all the states.
