RETIREMENT OF A POLITICIAN - SOMETHING NORMAL IN DEMOCRACY
Abstract
Within the framework of evaluating political steps forcing a retirement of a politician the
Author of the article has distinguished three kinds of rules:
a) rules of behaviour that indicate what kind o f behaviour is desirable and what kind is not. These
rules relate first of all to penal law and ethics: perspectively they serve to steer a behaviour and
retrospectively - to evaluate an example of concrete behaviour post factum-,
b) rules of imputation which - generally speaking - assume a function of attaching some true past
event to a person who shall be charged with responsibility for it (in penal law - rules that make
it possible to distinguish between perpetration of a crime and participation in it);
c) rules of proceeding which inform us about ways o f application (who? how?) of the two precedent
rules.
The Author discusses in detail all these rules and illustrates them with examples taken mostly
from German political life.
