The article "From Jurisprudence in Criminal Cases" reports on two different cases. In the first case, it concerns a defendant who has committed another criminal offense despite a probation failure. The court decides that a renewed suspension of the sentence on probation is generally not justified when the defendant repeatedly commits crimes. In the second case, it involves a convicted person who is serving a prison sentence as the leader of a terrorist organization abroad. The court refuses to suspend the execution of the remaining sentence on probation because the convicted person does not show a sufficiently favorable prognosis for future criminal behavior. In the present case, it concerns the decision of the Regional Court (LG) regarding the placement of a suspect in a psychiatric hospital according to § 63 of the German Criminal Code. The LG has rejected the suspension of the execution of the measure on probation because there are no special circumstances within the meaning of § 67b (1) sentence 1 of the German Criminal Code. The court has determined that the dangers posed by the suspect due to his illness cannot be averted through close supervision within the framework of probation. It has also examined the possibility of civil commitment in a supervised residential facility as a less restrictive alternative but considered it insufficiently effective. Therefore, the LG has decided without legal error. The article mentions various measures of supervision that can be taken by family members or guardians, such as a professional ban, marriage, a new job, or old age. The author of the article, Dr. Mario Bachmann, is a representative of the chair at the Institute of Criminology at the University of Heidelberg. The mentioned information is from the fourth edition of the commentary "MüKo-StGB" from the year 2020. [Extracted from the article]

The Taliban have taken control of Afghanistan and are now faced with the challenge of severing their connections to terrorist groups in order to gain international recognition. There are several terrorist groups in Afghanistan, including al-Qaida, Chechen fighters, the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan, the East Turkestan Islamic Movement, Pakistani fighters of the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan, and local Afghan terrorists belonging to the Islamic State Khorasan. The Taliban's relationships with these groups range from parasitic relationships to cooperation and peaceful coexistence. In particular, ISIS-K views the Taliban as puppets of Pakistan, leading to violent clashes between the two groups. Afghanistan hosts over 10,000 foreign fighters who enter the country in three ways: fleeing their home countries, joining Afghan terrorist organizations, or through connections established by the Taliban with terrorists. Afghanistan's neighboring countries hope that the new Taliban regime will cut ties with terrorist groups, but there are obstacles such as habit, disagreement within the Taliban, and the lack of a definition of terrorism. Terrorism in Afghanistan poses a threat to political stability in the region and international security. [Extracted from the article]

Conflict is a phenomenon with an ever increasing importance which, almost all the organizations face with. Conflict management is the activity shaping this phenomenon in line with the organizational goals. Despite plentiful studies conducted on various organizational levels in the literature in our country in this management field, the number of studies conducted on the level of illegal armed organizations is scarcely any. Conflict management activities on this kind of organizations in the world for the last quarter century is conducted under the topic of “Disarmament, demobilization and reintegration” (DDR). A considerable amount of knowledge accumulation is formed throughout the world. In this study, for a successful conflict management regarding illegal armed organizations, some lessons to be taken from DDR programs conducted in the world are tried to be put forth. In this way, it is aimed both to fill a gap in the literature in our country and to shed light on the practices on this issue.
