The War Against Terrorism and the Rule of Law

The War Against Terrorism has put into issue two tenets of theAmerican constitutional tradition. The first denies the governmentthe power to imprison anyone unless that person is charged witha crime and swiftly brought to trial. The other requires thegovernment to abide by the Constitution’s restrictionson its power no matter where or against whom it acts. This article,based on the 2005 H.L.A. Hart lecture, examines the SupremeCourt’s first encounter with the Administration’sconduct of the War Against Terrorism and explains how the SupremeCourt’s rulings badly compromised these foundational principles.     

The Political Offender Exception in International Extradition Law: Terrorism Versus Human Rights

The political offense exception in the law of international extradition is one of the issues over which the justifiability of terrorist violence is being debated. The evolution of the political offender exception is sketched and the provisions of the 1986 Supplementary Treaty between the United States and the United Kingdom, which effectively eliminated the political offender exception for violent offenders, are outlined. The debate over the merits of the Treaty then is summarized. A concluding analysis suggests that limited violence is justified in defense of democracy and fundamental human rights and that the political offender exception should be interpreted so as to promote these values.     

非法证据排除规则的例外

对于我国诉讼法学界来说 ,非法证据排除规则是一个相对新的问题 ,而探讨非法证据排除规则的例外 ,则是一个更为深入的 ,迄今为止论及较少的问题。在理论上探讨这样一个问题 ,实际已经在某种程度上说明了我们的司法实践和理论研究正在发展进步。作者以美国法为例 ,对非法证据排除规则的例外作了较为清晰、系统的梳理研究 ,论述了非法证据排除规则在美国司法实践中的发展变化 ,以及应该注意或者实践中可能出现的几种例外情况。与此同时 ,作者还对国外取证适用排除规则、相关司法协助以及有关国际惯例问题都作了概括的说明。是乃举其一反其三 ,把握事物本质一二之文章。     

论“善意例外”规则

“善意例外”产生于美国,是对非法证据排除规则的重要限制,也是非法证据排除规则的重要内容.我国新修改的《刑事诉讼法》确立了非法证据排除规则,但没有明确规定“善意例外”规则.由于我国法律对搜查、扣押等侦查行为的制约不足,其中的“合理解释”与“补正”多为程序瑕疵的弥补,存在“善意”的空间,适当借鉴“善意例外”规则,有利于我国非法证据排除规则的顺畅实施.     

The United Nations,the United States,and the War on Terrorism

The Rule in Cradock v. Piper (1850): Exception or Principle

In Cradock v. Piper (1850) the court allowed a solicitor-trustee to charge for his professional services in relation to certain litigation This was in the absence of a charging clause, and in apparent violation of a strict and general principle of the law of trusts that trustees had to act without remuneration. The rule still exists today, though it is invariably described as anomalous and lacking any rational basis.This paper examines whether the court did indeed establish an exception to the general no-remuneration rule, or whether it applied legal principle correctly The analysis of the court's judgment, of case law, and of contemporary attitudes to professional trustees, shows that the court was correct in refusing to prohibit remuneration where the connection was too tenuous to give rise to a conflict of interest.

摸着石头过河:中国的法治

本文从两个角度分析中国的"法治",这两个角度与近年来该领域的大量研究有所不同。首先是通过比较中国王朝时代的法治来分析当代中国的法治,因为不理解中国的过去,就不可能理解中国的现在,而西方学者很少这样做。其次是梳理了一些当代中国学者针对本国读者用中文撰写的关于中国法治的论文。通过这两个视角我们看到,当中国在纪念法制改革30周年的伟大成就时,目前所流行的"厚"(thick)法治与"薄"(thin)法治之分在中国的适用情况。本文的主要结论是:(1)可能除了一个重要的例外,中国不但渴望,并且已经实现了"薄"法治;(2)(如果有可能的话)中国是否应当实现"厚"法治,以及如何实现,在中国内部还存在严重分歧;(3)中国法治目前还有一些事项具有不确定性,核心的一点是王朝时代"人治"与"以法治国"经验中的某些方面在当今中国仍能产生很深的共鸣。

Narco-Terrorism: The Merger of the War on Drugs and the War on Terror

The aim of this article is to analyse the phenomena of narco-terrorism and the practical measures utilised to counter this threat. By adopting the model of the crime-terror continuum developed by Tamara Makarenko, the article will outline the similarities and dissimilarities of narcotics trafficking and terrorism in order to provide a more nuanced perspective on the concept of narco-terrorism. By doing so, the article will evaluate the kind of approach taken in combating the threat of narco-terrorism.     

“特意排除”规则:限制等同原则适用的一种新规则

专利侵权判定中等同原则的适用将专利的保护范围扩大到权利要求的字面含义之外,但如果专利申请人对其保护的范围进行了明确的限制,将其他变换技术方案特意排除在权利要求的范围之外,则不能将变换技术认定为等同技术.这一规则就是“特意排除”规则.美国、日本、英国等国家都通过判决确立了“特意排除”规则. “特意排除”规则兼顾了专利权人与社会公众的利益.我国应明确确立“特意排除”规则,作为限制等同原则适用的一种情形.     

The Partisan: Carl Schmitt and Terrorism

This article critiques and expands upon the jurisprudence of law’s violence from feminist and lesbian/gay/queer perspectives. The incorporation of gender and sexuality into the jurisprudence of law’s violence, via the social experiences of women and gay men, highlights the masculine and heteronormative character of law’s violence, while bringing into view particular forms of law’s violence, and forms of extra-legal but thoroughly legitimate heterosexual male violence, that have remained invisible in previous accounts. A feminist analysis of violence also suggests that law’s regime of violence is neither totalising nor inevitable, and that possibilities for resistance, if not avoidance, do exist.     

The Self-Relevant Implications of Distribution Rules: When Self-Esteem and Acceptance Are Influenced by Violations of the Equity Rule

Based on the assumption that distribution rules may have similarities to procedures, the present research examined the extent to which a violation of the equity rule can influence feelings of self-esteem and acceptance as a function of people's social value orientation (i.e., prosocial vs. proself orientation) and attributional explanation (internal vs. external). In a scenario study, participants imagined that they received a similar financial reward as their task partner, but this partner, however, put less effort into the task (i.e., violation of the equity rule). Results showed that this unfair outcome negatively influenced people's feelings of self-esteem and acceptance, but only among those with a proself orientation and when an internal explanation was given for differences in input.     

恐怖主义本原辨析——基于事实的本体性认识

人们对待恐怖主义的态度和立场,与恐怖主义本身,是人类文明与发展面临的两个同等重要和危险的难题,克服现代性的局限有助于认识和应对恐怖主义。哲学上的普遍主义及与之对应的国际霸权和国内强权是恐怖主义产生的两个重要根源。同时,弄清恐怖和恐怖主义作为事实的界限,对于把握恐怖主义实质及制定恰当的对策也是必要的。
