  This thesis addresses the prosecutorial challenges associated with the international crime of terrorism. Currently, this crime is recognised only as a treaty-based or transnational crime. It is not considered a core crime as enshrined in the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. Additionally, the prohibition of terrorism has probably not yet reached the level of a peremptory norm (jus cogens) within customary international law. A central issue, which runs like a red thread throughout the thesis, is the international legal community¡¯s ongoing failure to agree upon a unified definition of the concept of terrorism. The crime is prosecuted in national courts, with each state exercising its own definitional discretion. The definitional issue has been raised in a few international tribunals, such as the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL), as part of violations of crimes against humanity and in a highly controversial interlocutory decision. However, the definition of the crime as such remains elusive, with a myriad of legal consequences, one of them being the principle of legality, nullum crimen sine lege. This thesis touches upon various interdisciplinary legal aspects, as global political decisions also influence legal discussions within international law and international criminal law. Throughout this research, I am analysing the legal landscape, both historically and contemporarily, to establish a comprehensive and coherent overview of the prosecutorial challenges and complex legal processes involved with the international crime of terrorism. Ultimately, this research seeks to help create a more unified prosecutorial system for addressing the crime of terrorism and potential future developments within the realm of international criminal law.

• Johansen, Stian ?by (2025). Rett til kaffen: Lovforslaget om aldersgrense for sosiale medier - Universitetsbiblioteket. Vis sammendrag

  Annenhver torsdag inviterer vi til forskningsformidling og kaffe i juridisk bibliotek. Denne gangen skal Stian ?by Johansen snakke om det nye lovforslaget om aldersgrense p? sosiale medier. Den 7. juli sendte Barne- og familiedepartementet og Digitaliserings- og forvaltningsdepartementet et forslag til ¡°lov om aldersgrense for bruk av sosiale medier¡± p? h?ring. Essensen i lovforslaget er at det innf?res en aldersgrense p? 15 ?r for bruk av sosiale medier, og at tilbyderne av sosiale medier plikter ? gjennomf?re alderskontroll. Lovforslaget er problematisk av flere grunner. Den rettslig sett mest ?penbare hindringen for lovforslaget er E?S-retten, som forbyr denne typen mottakerstatregulering. Prinsipielt viktig er ogs? de negative konsekvensene p? ytrings- og informasjonsfriheten ¨C ikke bare for barn, som det er meningen ? sensurere, men ogs? for alle voksne. Folkerettslige problemer har forslaget ogs?, ved at virkeomr?debestemmelsen (lovforslaget ¡ì 3) er s? vid at alle tilbydere av sosiale medier over hele verden underlegges loven.
