Relationship between the Argentine Criminal Code of 1922 and the German Criminal Code
Keywords:
Criminal Law, Legislation, Weaver Project, German Penal Code, Argentine Penal CodeAbstract
If we were asked for an example of countries in which foreign legislative influence is evident, we would not hesitate to indicate those of South America, and, among them, we would place the Argentine Republic in a place of honor. The reason, perceptible without much effort, is that South American legislation does not have an aboriginal root in many of its aspects. By this we do not mean that we think that the legislation of the countries of South America is totally invaded by exotic legislative problems, lacking in national historical reality. Rather, our statement only has in view, almost in general, the purely legislative aspect of the matter; that is, the juridical regulation of national problems. But, notwithstanding the limits of the observation we make here, the fact is of importance for the juridical life of these states, since, frequently, the legislative technique has a deforming influence on the historical substance that it regulates.
Author Biography
-
Ricardo C. Nuñez, Universidad Nacional de Córdoba
Ricardo C. Núñez (Córdoba, August 7, 1908 - May 15, 1997) was an Argentine lawyer specialized in criminal law, university professor, writer on the subject, and judge. He is considered one of the most outstanding jurists in South America. He was secretary of the Superior Court of Justice of Córdoba between 1940 and 1947 when he resigned due to the national intervention of the province. He returned to the Court as a judge in 1958 but resigned again due to the military intervention of the province and, after leaving public service, he created the Institute of Criminal Law of the UNC. In 1976 the authorities of the National Reorganization Process offered him a seat in the Supreme Court of Justice but he refused for democratic reasons. Years later, he publicly apologized for having accepted the position and served as a judge during the military government of the Revolución Libertadora.
He practiced law and taught at the UNC and at the National University of La Plata, during the years when he did not hold public office. In 1983, with the return of democracy, he was considered to be appointed president of the CSJN, but instead the position was offered to Ítalo Luder, which distanced Núñez from President Raúl Alfonsín and this distancing was the reason why Alfonsín later rejected Núñez's integration as a member of the CSJN. There is a biography written in 1997 by his student Luis Marcó del Pont called Núñez, the man and his work.Reference
