Hbl Riktade trakasserier utgör ett hot mot rättsstaten och borde kriminaliseras, anser Finlands juristförbund. Av åklagarna har 40 procent och av domarna hela två tredjedelar utsatts. Tingsdomaren Paula Virrankoski har blivit hotad med hängning.
Problemet, enligt Juristförbundets ordförande Antero Rytkölä, är att en stor del av det som kan ses som riktade trakasserier och i dag är kriminaliserade är målsägandebrott som inte faller under allmänt åtal. Då är det upp till den som har utsatts att själv driva processen. Det kan handla om ärekränkning, olaga hot och spridande av information som kränker privatlivet.

The death of Osama Bin Laden has been followed by a growing debate over the legality of his killing, the BBC's Aidan Lewis reports.
"After receiving news that a team of US Navy Seals had shot dead Osama Bin Laden at a compound in northern Pakistan, President Barack Obama announced that justice had been done.
The demise of the man held responsible for mass atrocities, including the 11 September 2001 attacks, was welcomed around the world.
But as the US narrative developed - and changed - after the raid, there were growing questions about whether it was legal to kill the al-Qaeda leader.
At one level, these have focused on what happened during the operation at the building in Abbottabad in which Bin Laden was found.
"The issue here is whether what was done was an act of legitimate self-defence," said Benjamin Ferencz, an international law specialist who served as a prosecutor during the Nuremburg trials and argued that it would have been better to capture Bin Laden and send him to court.
"Killing a captive who poses no immediate threat is a crime under military law as well as all other law," he told the BBC World Service. "

On the other hand, British Territory Cayman which was briefly blacklisted for the first time in February 202018 but removed from the list in October 2020 after it was deemed compliant with international tax rules, is responsible for the biggest share of countries’ tax losses (16.5 per cent of global tax losses, equal to over $70 billion a year). The Tax Justice Network argues that Cayman being deemed to be compliant with international tax rules despite being the world’s greatest enabler of global tax abuse is evidence that current international tax rules are not fit for purpose.
