Besides specific cases of compensation for convictions based on subsequently repealed legislation and claims arising from general official liability, German law provides a mechanism for compensation, insofar as a conviction is eliminated or mitigated in a retrial in criminal proceedings. Still within this retrial, the criminal court is called upon to determine whether a claim exists for compensation of material and/or non-material damages on the merits. The amount of compensation is assessed in a judicial administrative procedure at the request of the person concerned. The compensation for non-material harm is calculated on the basis of a lump sum of currently €75 per day of imprisonment; the extent of material harm must be submitted and proven by the person concerned.

In light of the fact that displacement is often a result of large scale human rights deprivation, it seems likely that intersections and possibilities of cross-referencing exist. This paper analyses the correlation of persecution as an international crime and as the core element of the refugee definition. On the one hand, persecution is a crime against humanity pursuant to Art. 7 (1) (h) ICC Statute and is defined as "intentional and severe deprivation of fundamental rights contrary to international law by reason of the identity of the group or collectivity" (Art. 7 [2] [g] ICC Statute). On the other hand, persecution is part of the refugee definition of Art. 1 A (2) Refugee Convention. Art. 1 A (2) Refugee Convention defines as a refugee a person who, "owing to well-founded fear of being persecuted […] is outside the country of his nationality and is unable or, owing to such fear, is unwilling to avail himself of the protection of that country". In this paper, the term "persecution" is interpreted in both contexts in order to detect similarities and differences. It is argued that a refugee phenomenon implies the existence of the crime of persecution and that respective authorities should engage in cross-referencing and information exchange.}, language = {en} } @article{Mitsch1997, author = {Mitsch, Wolfgang}, title = {Euthanasia and modern German criminal law}, year = {1997}, language = {en} } @article{Lettl2022, author = {Lettl, Tobias}, title = {Patient decree and helpfor dying (Euthanasia) in German law}, series = {Culture and law : multidisciplinary cross-fertilization of views on the end of life}, journal = {Culture and law : multidisciplinary cross-fertilization of views on the end of life}, publisher = {Nomos}, address = {Baden-Baden}, isbn = {978-3-8487-7731-0}, pages = {48 -- 56}, year = {2022}, language = {en} }
