Repressed Memories (of Sexual Abuse Against Minors) and Statutes of Limitations in Europe: Status Quo and Possible Alternatives KU Leuven
One of the most heated debates in psychological science concerns the concept of repressed memory. We discuss how the debate on repressed memories continues to surface in legal settings, sometimes even to suggest avenues of legal reform. In the past years, several European countries have extended or abolished the statute of limitations for the prosecution of sexual crimes. Such statutes force legal actions (e.g., prosecution of sexual abuse) to ...
An analysis of the scientific status and limitations of the attitudinal entropy framework and an initial test of some of its empirical predictions Ghent University
Integration of in situ measured soil status and remotely sensed hyperspectral data to improve plant production system monitoring: Concept, perspectives and limitations KU Leuven
A common problem in agricultural remote sensing is the sub-pixel spectral contribution of background soils, weeds and shadows which impedes the effectiveness of spectral vegetation indices to monitor site-specific variations in crop condition. To address this mixture problem, the present study combines in situ measured soil status and remotely sensed hyperspectral data in an alternative spectral unmixing algorithm. The model driven approach, ...

The Third Time is not always a Charm: The Troublesome Legacy of a Dutch Art Dealer - The Limitation and Act of State Defenses in Looted Art Cases KU Leuven

Since its adoption in 1995, the UNIDROIT Convention on Stolen or Illegally Exported Cultural Objects has been a subject of contention between states, art market stakeholders and academics alike. Criticised by some as a too theoretical instrument with little practical relevancy, the convention has – at the same time – been praised by others as an important instrument in tackling the illicit trafficking of cultural property. The present research ...
National human rights institutions and access to justice: the role and practice of the human rights commission of Ethiopia in advancing access to justice Ghent University
National human rights institutions (NHRIs) are quasi-judicial bodies set up specifically for the purpose of promoting and protecting human rights. Among their core functions included are the sensitization of and research and debate on human rights, and investigation of complaints involving human rights issues. As part of their mandate, NHRIs should promote and facilitate complainant’s access to rights and remedies, including the ones offered by ...
“Un-Chartered” Territory and Formal Links in EU Law: The Sudden Discovery of the Limits of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights through Humanitarian Visa KU Leuven
First, X and X contributes to legal uncertainty as regards the applicability of the Charter to member states for the purposes of Article 51 (1) CFR. The judgment does not conform to the expansive and creative interpretation of Fransson; it contradicts the specific precedent regarding powers derived from EU Regulations established in N. S. and Others; and it does not fit satisfactorily within the Siragusa criteria which the CJEU in any case ...
