Le présent ouvrage contient une synthèse des règles de procédure qui gouvernent la mise en œuvre de l’action civile exercée par la victime d’une infraction pénale, qu’elle soit exercée devant les juridictions pénales ou devant les juridictions civiles. Outre le rappel et l’analyse des principes généraux applicables à l’exercice de l’action civile (qui peut l’exercer ? contre qui peut-elle être exercée ? quel est son objet ? quels sont ses modes d’extinction ?…), l’auteur a également approfondi certains sujets plus spécifiques, tels que, par exemple, la manière dont s’articule la solidarité civile entre d’éventuels coauteurs et complices d’infractions qui sont la cause du dommage subi par la victime, la capacité de l’État à se constituer partie civile en matière pénale fiscale, le droit de constitution de partie civile de certaines personnes particulières (curateur, syndicat, etc.) ou encore le droit des parties civiles sur les choses confisquées. L’ouvrage a été entièrement mis à jour au 1er janvier 2018, notamment pour tenir compte des réformes apportées en cette matière par la loi dite Pot-Pourri II, mais également des nouvelles sources doctrinales et jurisprudentielles

Over the past decades the European Court of Human Rights has been increasingly engaged in constitutional decision-making. In this time the Court has decided whether abortion, assisted suicide, and surrogate motherhood are human rights. The Court's judgments therefore do not just affect the parties to a particular case, but individuals, other member states, and often European society at large. Unsurprisingly, a variety of entities such as non-governmental organisations, try to participate in the Court's proceedings as third-party interveners. Acknowledging a certain public interest in its decision-making, the Court accepted the first intervention in 1979. Since that time, interventions by individuals, member states and non-governmental organisations have increased. Yet despite this long-standing practice, third-party interventions have never been fully theorised. Third-Party Interventions before the European Court of Human Rights is the first comprehensive and empirical study on third-party interventions before an international court. Analysing all cases between 1979 and 2016 to which an intervention was made the book explores their potential influence on the reasoning and decision-making of the Court. It further argues that there are three different types of intervention playing different roles in the administration of justice: amicus curiae interventions by organisations with a virtual interest in the case which strengthen the Court's legitimacy in its democratic environment; member state interventions reinforcing state sovereignty; and actual third-party interventions by individuals who are involved in the facts of a case and who are protecting their own legal interests. As a consequence, the book makes a plea for applying distinct admissibility criteria to the different type of interventions as well as a more transparent procedure when accepting and denying interventions. Dr Nicole Bürli has been a human rights adviser with the World Organisation Against Torture since 2014. Prior to this, she was a research associate at the University of Zurich (2008-2012) and a visiting fellow at the University of Copenhagen (2012) and the University of Cambridge (2013).
