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、苏伽慕和兰德斯堡--国际刑法中刑罚执行的起源及其对明日国际刑事司法体系的意义”项目考察了三个根据国际法对罪行执行判决的历史案例：斯潘道军事监狱、东京苏伽莫监狱和兰德斯贝格/巴伐利亚州第一号战犯监狱。这些案例研究将填补我们对国际刑事司法起源知识的空白。该项目还将从系统的角度审查这些历史事例在多大程度上为今后的替代执行判刑模式提供了经验教训。在这方面，Spandau、Sugamo和Landsberg代表了一种执法模式，特殊监狱遵循不同的法律规则，可能是在国际权威之下。这与目前根据国际法对罪行执行判决的做法形成对比：分散的模式是将个别罪犯转移到根据一般国内执行判决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.
