Der Grundsatz der Verfahrenseinheit (Art. 29 StPO): eine Determinante des fairen Stra

The topic of the principle of procedural unity according to Article 29 of the Code of Criminal Procedure is extraordinarily significant from both a criminal law perspective and practical standpoint, and it is highly complex. This work delves into this intricate area and examines the principle of procedural unity with a fundamental and human rights perspective in all its breadth. It goes far beyond the current state of scientific knowledge and investigates many open questions related to Article 29 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. Notably, it arrives at the remarkable conclusion that accused individuals have a right to unified prosecution. Additionally, the work demonstrates that, due to constitutional requirements, exceptions to the principle of procedural unity are only permissible under very strict conditions.
