Les systèmes de justice pénale en Europe sont confrontés à de nombreux défis. Considérés comme le reflet de nos sociétés modernes, ils se retrouvent confrontés à de nouveaux éléments que sont la réglementation en matière de sécurité de l'État, la prospérité sociale, la protection de l'environnement, etc.
En général, la coopération judiciaire en Europe se limite à une interprétation des textes juridiques, à leur cohérence ainsi qu’à la manière de les appliquer dans le strict respect des textes de lois, sans rechercher d’alternatives et d’approches plus nuancées.
La conférence organisée par l'Université de Luxembourg et l'Institut universitaire international Luxembourg (IUIL) les 22 et 23 octobre 2010 a notamment pour objectif d’apporter un point de vue novateur sur cette thématique.
