CHStPO: Comment on Article 54 and 55
5th Chapter: International Legal Assistance
applicability of Article 54 of this Act
The granting of international legal assistance and legal assistance procedures aimed only so far under this Act, other laws than the federal and international law
contracts contain no provisions for it.
Article 55 jurisdiction
1 Is a canton deals with a case of international judicial assistance, the prosecutor is in charge.
2 courts during the trial itself can provide legal assistance.
3 is subject to the powers of law enforcement agencies.
4 has the legal responsibilities of Federal assistance to a judicial authority, the Appeals Board jurisdiction.
5 Does the District, with a foreign Legal assistance is concerned, procedural actions in other cantons through, so this are the provisions on the national legal assistance cases.
6 The cantons regulate the procedure.
The international assistance has already been extensively covered by international law and by federal law. These provisions go according to Article 54 before the CHStPO. As for the passive from the perspective of Switzerland regards legal aid (ie the cases in which Switzerland is requested legal assistance from foreign countries), the process is governed by the IRSG and related regulation.
Furthermore, Switzerland is in relation bound to the provision of legal assistance to numerous bilateral and multilateral international agreements. These are also the active from the perspective of Switzerland legal assistance (legal assistance from Swiss law enforcement authorities to foreign countries) is relevant. It is worth mentioning at this point the primary European Convention of 20.04.1959 on mutual legal assistance in criminal matters .
The CHStPO can therefore confine itself to determine both the active and passive assistance for the competent authorities, what it does in Article 55th was in relation to Article 55 paragraph 4 nor particularly pointed out that according since 1.1.2007 Article 25 of IMAC for appeals against decisions by Swiss authorities (including cantonal) directly to the Federal Criminal Court has jurisdiction (other than the cantonal appeals instances).

Article 53 recourse to the police
Requires the requesting authority to provide a procedural measure to support the police, it shall make an appropriate request to the prosecutor of the canton requested, which shall issue the necessary orders to local police.
Articles 49 - 51, the process of the law governing the alternative, perform procedural actions requested by the District of (federal) on its territory at the request of the materially competent cantonal (Federation). Articles 52 and 53 contrast the Confederation and the cantons also the alternative possibility, the procedural steps to make foreign territory itself, if necessary with support from the local police. Court or the District of (federal) will remain free to choose which option he wants. The requested legal assistance from the canton (Federation) has to grant the Rechtsilfe and can not reject them around on the ground that the requested canton (Federation) can act to make the process even.
According to article 49, paragraph 1, the District requested (federal government) not to establish the legitimacy or appropriateness of the legal aid act (see BGE 119 IV 90). Consequently, determined about Article 49 paragraph 2 also that handles complaints against the applicant by the District of (federal) with these measures is the appeal body. The Appeal Board of the requested canton (Federation) has assessed only complaints against the way the execution of mutual legal assistance act (eg if the concrete procedures of the emergency action by leading police alleging).
Article 50 governs the legal assistance during arrests and other coercive measures. The legal assistance as enforcement of arrest warrants is now governed by Article 357 of the Criminal Code and Article 21 of the Concordat. According to Article 357 para 4 of the Criminal Code, the arrested person before the supply to the requesting to listen to Canton by the competent authority for the record. Article 21 of the Concordat specifies that this hearing must take place within 24 hours and the arrested person in summary, the reasons for the arrest and it was accused of criminal offenses must be reported. In contrast, now are in accordance with Article 50 para 2 of the CHStPO injections as possible within 24 hours to make. This short period is made in regard to Article 219 para 4 Under this provision, the police arrested the provisional within 24 hours be brought before the competent prosecutor. This has to question the Fesgenommenen according to Article 224 paragraph 1 immediately. In the case of a supply within 24 hours is unnecessary interview by the authorities of the requested Canton.
start under current law the detention period (the time limit for detention opening by the prosecutor and for the application to the magistrate and the period of detention judge within which he has to decide on remand) to run practice provided only after the injection of the relevant canton. This is likely the entry into force of CHStPO no longer be the case. Article 50 paragraph 2 i.Vb.m. Article 224 paragraph 1 and 2 suggest that also apply in the case of inter-cantonal supply the same period. This makes the light of the geographical narrowness of Switzerland and the fact that the whole of Switzerland with the entry into force of CHStPO same liability regime applies to meaning.
Article 51 governs the participation of law of the requesting authority and the parties. This has primarily well-defense rights of the accused in mind.
According to article 52 is not for the conduct of proceedings in another canton acts contrary to Article 359 para 1 of the Criminal Code requires the consent of the canton (so it actually looks even before the force today Concordat by Article 3 only the notification required). No notification is in accordance with Article 52 paragraph 2 on orders Edition required. According to paragraph 3, the costs (in particular also with respect to such allf. Compensation claims), consequently, by the performing and to take court or Canton.
The arrangement and perform procedural acts in another canton is in accordance with the terms of Article 52 paragraph 1, also the offense criminal authorities allowed. This, however, are not authorized to make the request to perform procedural actions in other cantons (this is in accordance with Article 49 paragraph 1 to the prosecutors and courts reserved). ME is this is a legislative oversight. If can be created even for the law enforcement authorities in violation of their own stuff, they should, consequently, all the powers of law enforcement in infringement cases have. In addition, there is no reason why the offense criminal authorities District can not apply for another, even what they themselves could perform in this canton.
According to article 53 are requesting Untersützung be addressed by the police of another canton to the prosecutor of the canton. Law enforcement authorities is therefore denied, give the police forces of other cantons to direct orders.

Article 48 conflicts
1 About the conflict Mutual legal assistance between authorities in the same canton decides the final appeal body of the canton. 2 About
conflicts between the federal and cantonal authorities and between authorities of different cantons, the Federal Criminal Court.
After 3 Chapter of the 2nd Title, which deals with the territorial jurisdiction governs, now the 4th Chapter, the national legal aid. So it is here to process transactions which in other cantons (or by the State) are to be made, without which they have jurisdiction. The national legal aid is now in Articles 356 - 361 of the Penal Code regulated and 252 f. BSTP. In addition, there is a concordat of 5 November 1992 Legal Aid and the inter-cantonal cooperation in criminal matters. These provisions are largely adopted without substantial changes in content. The legislature waived the adoption of the Penal Code also contained provisions on mutual assistance in the field of police.

Article 191b paragraph 2 provides for this possibility explicitly against BV for judicial authorities. To administrative authorities (such as the Public Prosecutor) should be possible even without a basis in the Federal Constitution.

Article 45: It reflects the principle in the present Article 28 and 29 BSTP.
Article 46: This provision posited direct commerce. This is already in accordance with Article 357 paragraph 1 of the Criminal Code and Article 15 prov. 1 of the Concordat.

CHStPO: Comment on Article 39-42
Article 39 Examination the competence and agreement
1 The criminal jurisdiction of authorities check their official duties and conduct a case if necessary, the responsible department.
2 shows several law enforcement agencies as a local jurisdiction, then the participating prosecutor informed immediately of the essential elements of the case and seek a possible agreement.
Article 40 Jurisdiction 1 Is
conflicts of jurisdiction in criminal authorities of the canton of the same dispute, the decision is the top or Attorney General or if not so provided, the final appeal body of the canton.
2 Can the law enforcement authorities different cantons can not agree on jurisdiction, it shall submit the prosecutor of the canton, which was first seized of the matter, the question immediately, in any case before the
indictment, the Federal Court for decision.
3 can for decision on jurisdiction competent authority to set a different than those provided for in Articles 31-37 of jurisdiction, especially where the focus of the tortious activity or the personal circumstances of the suspect is or there is other good reason.
Article 41 challenge to the jurisdiction of the parties involved
1 Will a party with the responsibility of the criminal proceedings Challenge authority, it shall apply for this immediately transfer the case to the competent criminal authorities.
2 against the decision taken by the relevant decision on the prosecutor's jurisdiction (Article 39 paragraph 2) to the parties within 10 days with the complaint under Article 40 for a decision on jurisdiction competent authority
. Prosecutors have agreed to a different jurisdiction (Article 38 paragraph 1), so that complaint is only open to possibility of the party whose application has been rejected under paragraph 1.
Common provisions Article 42 1 Up
the mandatory provision of the forum shall take the first with the Case authority dealing with the urgent measures. If necessary, referred to the decision on jurisdiction competent authority that authority, the
tentatively has to deal with the matter.
two arrested persons are supplied to the authorities of other cantons only if the jurisdiction has been designated as binding.
3 A defined in accordance with Articles 38-41 of jurisdiction can only be changed from new good cause and only before the indictment.
Articles 39 - 42, the control method for the determination of jurisdiction.
This was hitherto regulated by Articles 345 and 264 of the Criminal Code BSTP very summarily. These provisions to and supplemented by existing case law (see message BBl. 2006, p. 1143). Article 264 BSTP has, however, repealed with the enactment of the Federal Law on the Federal Court (SGG). According to article 28 paragraph 1 lit. g SGG the Federal Criminal Court has jurisdiction to rule on contentious jurisdiction among the cantons. At this responsibility is not changed (Article 40 para 2 CHStPO). More marginal procedural rules for court proceedings as are now found also in Article 279 BSTP.
Article 39 is the consequence of the criminal investigation force principle (Article 6 CHStPO). Accordingly it is just the local jurisdiction, ex officio be clarified. Does a criminal authority to decline jurisdiction, it shall immediately forward the documents to the competent authority in their view (paragraph 1). Several potentially relevant criminal authorities have to agree, ex officio and as soon as possible to reach an agreement (paragraph 2).
Article 40 governs the procedure if they disagree on potentially to law enforcement can not. In intra-cantonal money decides the appeal stage. In the cantons, which provide an upper or Attorney General, will decide this. Decisions on intra-cantonal jurisdiction can not be appealed to the Federal Criminal Court. They also bind the judging court (Paragraph 1).
the inter-cantonal relations, the first to call the matter dealt with criminal authorities in case of dispute, the Federal Court (para 2).
According to paragraph 3 can also specify the competent authority in case of dispute a different jurisdiction (see Article 38).
Article 41 deals with the appeals of the other parties (other than the prosecutor). Essence of this provision is that the parties involved can appeal against decisions of the prosecutor's appeal by the competent authority in accordance with Article 40. Do they want to challenge a different jurisdiction, they are only legitimate complaint when they advance a have filed for referral to another authority. Such a need to make it even if a prosecutor without negotiating with other prosecutors are considered responsible and therefore by itself is no formal decision. The request of the parties to transfer to another authority has carried out in accordance with the terms of Article 41, paragraph 1 immediately. It can be concluded that the right to defend itself against the acceptance of responsibility by a criminal authority, it is forfeited if not immediately (to the knowledge of the facts establishing the jurisdiction) asserted.
Article 42 seeks to ensure that the process does not suffer from conflicts of competence.
According to paragraph 1, the prosecution, pending a definitive decision on the jurisdiction of the lead first with the case have authority, at least as far as urgent measures. If necessary, means the competent authority according to Article 40 the competent authority for urgent measures.
According to paragraph 2 shall be supplied to persons arrested only after binding clarification of jurisdiction to another canton.
According to paragraph 3, a once-defined jurisdiction only be changed from new good cause and only before the indictment. This also means that the judging court can not declare jurisdiction. After charge, may order only the Appeals Board a "transfer" of jurisdiction (Article 38 paragraph 2).

Article 41 deals with the appeals of the other parties (other than the prosecutor). Essence of this provision is that the parties involved can appeal against decisions of the prosecutor's appeal by the competent authority in accordance with Article 40. Do they want to challenge a different jurisdiction, they are only legitimate complaint when they advance a have filed for referral to another authority. Such a need to make it even if a prosecutor without negotiating with other prosecutors are considered responsible and therefore by itself is no formal decision. The request of the parties to transfer to another authority has carried out in accordance with the terms of Article 41, paragraph 1 immediately. It can be concluded that the right to defend itself against the acceptance of responsibility by a criminal authority, it is forfeited if not immediately (to the knowledge of the facts establishing the jurisdiction) asserted.
Article 42 seeks to ensure that the process does not suffer from conflicts of competence.
According to paragraph 1, the prosecution, pending a definitive decision on the jurisdiction of the lead first with the case have authority, at least as far as urgent measures. If necessary, means the competent authority according to Article 40 the competent authority for urgent measures.
According to paragraph 2 shall be supplied to persons arrested only after binding clarification of jurisdiction to another canton.
According to paragraph 3, a once-defined jurisdiction only be changed from new good cause and only before the indictment. This also means that the judging court can not declare jurisdiction. After charge, may order only the Appeals Board a "transfer" of jurisdiction (Article 38 paragraph 2).
