Forensic Application of Analytical Mechanics in Fatal Fall From a Height

Fatal fall from a height initiated with a swinging motion on the sagittal plane of the victim's body is examined. Method of analytical mechanics is adopted to establish the functional relations between the swinging angle of the body and the force needed to sustain the body until release, and the amount of the horizontal displacement that would occur after release. The analysis is applied to support an expert opinion presented in a criminal court in which two accused were convicted of murder for dropping a female victim from a bridge. The results indicate that it is unlikely for the body to locate as recorded by the police investigation report in the case. This study demonstrates that a straightforward mechanical analysis can be utilized to examine uncommon falling scenarios.     

Opposition to immigration in contemporary Russia

The study examines sources of opposition to immigration in contemporary Russia. It distinguishes between two types of opposition to immigration: exclusionary attitudes based on national membership and exclusionary attitudes based on race or ethnicity, directed exclusively at foreigners with non-Slavic or non-European origins. Findings indicate that a quarter of ethnic Russians can be classified as “racial exclusionists”; they are willing to admit immigrants who share a race/ethnic group with most of Russia’s people but object to the admission of racially/ethnically different immigrants. Another 42% of ethnic Russians are classified as “total exclusionists”; they object to immigration of all foreigners, regardless of their race/ethnicity. Multivariate analysis focuses on the impact of perceived collective vulnerability, human values, and socio-demographic attributes. Opposition to immigration in Russia is further situated within temporal and cross-national comparative perspectives. Apparently, exclusionary attitudes toward immigrants who share a race/ethnicity with most Russians increased between 2006 and 2016.     

国际投资仲裁机构对涉及人权问题的投资纠纷的审理

国际投资仲裁的当事人在仲裁中提出人权方面诉求的情况在最近十几年里缓慢地增加了,仲裁庭只有在仲裁管辖条款能够覆盖人权问题,并且当事人所选择的适用法能够为人权问题的解决提供指引的情况下,才能就与投资有关的人权纠纷做出裁决。现有的国际投资仲裁机构自身存在很多缺陷,不适宜作为审理与投资有关的人权问题的理想场所。我国应该支持与投资有关的人权问题主要通过东道国的司法途径进行救济。     

法律全球化中的刑法现代化——刑法现代化的一个问题

本文探讨了法律全球化下刑法的现代化及其功能的转变问题 ,认为对刑法乃至整个法律体系的本质都须作整体性的反思 ,起码要做重新的定位 ,这应该是刑法现代化的基本前提。只有那些具有同一化、实体化、可操作性的法律才能成为全球化的法律。作为公法、历来与国家主权联系甚密的刑法 ,其全球化的现实就更为渺茫。但是 ,刑法的全球化是否有必要是问题的核心 ,而不是是否可能。我们认为 ,以人权为核心展开的刑法的功能的转变应该是必要的。     

民事强制执行中债务人权益保障问题初探--从原则到制度的分析

强制执行是运用国家公权力来保障生效法律文书所确定的权利得以实现的过程,然而在强调债权人权益实现的同时有侵害债务人基本人权之可能.为了公平保护执行当事人的合法权益,特别是维护债务人之基本人权,民事强制执行立法必须从贯彻宪法对人权保障的高度,确立利益平衡和执行适度的原则,加强对债务人财产、住宅、人格尊严和人身自由等基本人权的保障.这既是现代民事执行文明、人道的重要体现,也是构建和谐社会的必然要求.     

刑事羁押制度-侦查阶段犯罪嫌疑人人权保障分析

我国对犯罪嫌疑人的权利保护与过去相比已经有所改善,但仍存在不少问题,刑讯逼供、超期羁押、违反平等比例原则、侵犯犯罪嫌疑人获得帮助和救济的权利等现象时有发生.文章主要针对上述现象提出一些相应的对策.     

程序的多重视角

程序是法学(法律)的一个独立范畴。由于语境不同,中西方对“程序”的理解有较大的差异,国内学者对法律程序进行解释时存在误读现象。完整地认识程序,需要完整的观察视角。只有从人权、法治、民主和经济等多元视角来诠释法律程序的价值和功能,才可能较完整地认识实体权利和程序权利的相互关系。

环境权:一种新兴的现代人权

人权是最基本的权利,环境权来自人权。生存权位于人权的核心,而环境权作为一项基本人权是不可剥夺、不可放弃和替代的权利。如果没有环境权,传统人权体系中的生存权就不可能得到完善的保障。环境权源于生存权,但超越了生存权,因此它是一种新兴的现代人权。
