Shaming the shamers: a case study of an online campaign and its social significance

Zlovenija was a digital campaign aimed at shaming Facebook users who had disseminated hate speech. The authors did a preliminary evaluation of Zlovenija’s repercussions for the Slovenian public and its impact through an analysis of the response of the wider public online as well as the legal underpinnings of such social media usage. They discussed how by exposing and denouncing the evil in the original posts Zlovenija motivated responsibility and fostered public debate; however, the method it used was extreme and its use seems tremendously problematic in a modern democratic society.

The New Definition of Imminent Threat and Its Impact of the Use of Armed Force

This research examined how the U.S. redefined the concept of imminent threat in order to relax the rules governing the anticipatory use of force. The research focused on how the new definition of imminent threat enabled U.S. troops to use too-broad criteria for determining military targets during combat operations. The aim of the research was to show how those too-broad target selection criteria prevented the partially automated target selection process from improving its accuracy in finding military targets.

Information technology and basic tenets of criminal law: the case of PNR

The article analyzes the effects of personal data processing in PNR records, as implemented in the Slovenian Police Tasks and Powers Act. The starting point is the foundations of criminal law as formed in liberal democracies. The core of criminal law is the requirement to respond only to the actions (and not to the status) of people, predetermined by law. The processing of PNR data amounts to a law-enforcement response in those cases where the passenger's personal data, regardless of his actions, corresponds to pre-prepared profiles of alleged offenders. The processing of the passenger's data is carried out according to his status, without any prior interference with the criminally protected goods, contrary to the basic tenets of modern criminal law.
