从大连输油管爆炸事件看我国油污立法的不足与完善

美国墨西哥湾石油钻井平台泄漏事件尚未淡出人们的视线，2010年7月16日我国大连海域又发生一起油管爆炸事故，导致一千多吨石油泄漏，给当地的海洋环境、渔业资源、旅游资源造成难以弥补的损失。通过此次油污事件，可以看出我国在预防、处理海洋石油污染，以及相关赔偿方面缺乏一个行之有效的法律体系。随着我国的经济发展，中国已经成为石油进口大国，为了应对迫在眉睫的海洋污染问题，我国的油污立法亟须完善。

Sacred year or broken reed? The Sex Disqualification (Removal) Act 1919

ABSTRACT

The Sex Disqualification (Removal Act 1919) enabled women to enter some professions including law for the first time. Virginia Woolf calls 1919 a ‘sacred year’ because of this Act in her later essay ‘Three Guineas’. However, the historical literature largely considers the act to be a ‘broken reed’, focussing on its failure to equalise the franchise, remove the marriage bar or to enable women to sit in the House of Lords. This article argues that such negative verdicts fail to take into account the political and Parliamentary situation in 1919 and overlooks the genuine achievements of the Act.     

对《内罗毕国际船舶残骸清除公约》的再思考

2007年国际海事组织审议并通过了《内罗毕国际残骸清除公约》,此后国内大多数专家、学者主要围绕其提出的强制保险及直接诉讼制度开展深入研究,而对其他建设性内容却探讨甚少。公约其他内容,如扩大残骸范围、明确定位标记费用的承担者、采用即时强制制度等,对建立国内船舶残骸清除制度也具有较强的借鉴意义。通过对公约相关制度进行利弊分析,进而提出可供国内立法参考的有益建议。     

Helena Normanton: legal crusader or myth Maker? ‘[S]urely the one thing history teaches us is that we cannot generalise,or even worse,categorise individual humans into saints and sinners,or heroes and villains’

ABSTRACT

Helena Normanton aspired to become a lawyer at a time when women were prohibited from entering the legal profession. This aspiration became a reality when, on 24 December 1919, she became the first woman to be admitted to an institution of the legal profession after the passing of the Sex Disqualification (Removal) Act 1919, thus enshrining her place in legal history. Her achievement was, without doubt, remarkable. She has become the ‘face’ of women’s entry to the legal profession, but what was her contribution to the opening the legal profession to women? How should history remember her? This article will examine her role in this history and compare it to her own narrative. Further it will consider how we reconcile her trailblazing challenge to the male exclusivity of the Bar with the difficulties her behaviour often presents to us. Helena Normanton: saint or sinner? And does it matter?     

论行政许可的性质

关于行政许可的性质,理论上众说纷纭。从我国《行政许可法》所规制的行政许可的类型看,可以认为行政许可的一般性质是对符合条件者的不作为义务的解除。在行政法上,行政许可是具有形成力的授益性行政法律行为。
