• Sommario/riassunto: This volume explores the intersection of human rights and ius puniendi in Central East Europe and Latin America, focusing on the challenges posed by the rule of law in these regions. It considers the human rights of individuals deprived of liberty, particularly in detention or special centers, such as those in Poland. The contributors, hailing from various countries in Central East Europe and Latin America, provide a comparative analysis that addresses gaps in both international and national discussions on penitentiary systems. The book serves as a tribute to the late Professor Zbigniew Hołda, reflecting on his contributions to drug crimes, criminology, executive criminal law, and human rights. It aims to broaden the understanding of how these systems operate within a globalized world while emphasizing the European Union's role as a significant actor in international law, economics, and politics. The intended audience includes academics, policymakers, and students interested in European and international law and policy.
