title = {When Perpetrators and Victims Meet Again},
year = {2022},
note = {This article examines Germany’s exercise of universal criminal
jurisdiction (UCJ) from a hospitality perspective. It derives this
perspective from recent theoretical writings, in particular Frédéric
Mégret’s work on the role of victim diasporas in UCJ proceedings.
Mégret argues that states exercising UCJ respond to a duty of
hospitality towards those who have suffered abroad but are now on the
territory of a new state. While presenting a convincing theoretical
case, this perspective requires verification in the practice of states
that actually exercise UCJ. This article therefore considers to what
extent the recent surge of UCJ cases in Germany is linked to the
presence of a victim diaspora on its territory. In addition, it
assesses whether German legal and public discourse also assumes a duty
of hospitality towards those victim diasporas or whether it rests the
exercise of UCJ on more traditional approaches.},
