Spandau, Sugamo, and Landsberg – The Origins of Sentence Enforcement in International Criminal Law, and their Relevance for the International Criminal Justice System of Tomorrow

“斯潘道、Sugamo和兰茨贝格-国际刑法中判决执行的起源及其对未来国际刑事司法制度的相关性”项目审查了对国际法规定的罪行执行判决的三个历史性实例：德国和日本战犯被关押在斯潘道军事监狱，东京的巢鸭监狱，和巴伐利亚州兰茨贝格第一战犯监狱。这些案例研究将填补我们在国际刑事司法起源方面的知识空白。该项目还将从系统的角度研究这些历史案例在多大程度上为未来的替代判决执行模式提供了经验教训。在这方面，斯潘道、苏加莫和兰茨贝格是一种执法模式，特别监狱遵循不同的法律的规则，可能是在国际权威之下。这与目前对国际法规定的罪行执行判决的做法形成了鲜明对比：这是一种分散的模式，将个别罪犯转移到根据一般国内判决执行规则运作的国家监狱。

The project “Spandau, Sugamo, and Landsberg – The Origins of Sentence Enforcement in International Criminal Law, and their Relevance for the International Criminal Justice System of Tomorrow” examines three historic examples of sentence enforcement for crimes under international law: the imprisonment of German and Japanese war criminals in the Spandau Military Prison, the Sugamo Prison in Tokyo, and War Criminals Prison No. 1 in Landsberg/Bavaria. These case studies will close gaps in our knowledge of the origins of international criminal justice. The project will also examine from a systematic perspective to what extent these historical examples offer lessons for an alternative sentence enforcement model in the future. In this regard, Spandau, Sugamo, and Landsberg represent a model of enforcement whereby special prisons follow distinct legal rules, possibly under international authority. This stands in contrast to the current approach in sentence enforcement for crimes under international law: a decentralised model where individual criminals are transferred to national prisons operating under general domestic sentence enforcement rules.
