International Criminal Law vs State Sovereignty: Another Round?

This is a review of five recent works which deal with internationalcriminal law. By an analysis of those works, the essay querieswhether the relationship between international criminal lawand state sovereignty is always accurately conceptualized. Internationalcriminal lawyers often see sovereignty as the enemy of internationalcriminal law, though frequently failing to discuss in any depththe nature and malleability of sovereignty. Although internationalcriminal law does involve some challenges to sovereignty, italso needs, and in some ways empowers, that sovereignty too.The works under review tend to pay less attention to the substantiveaspects of international criminal law than its institutionalpart. This is unfortunate, as some of the most interesting interactionsbetween international criminal law and sovereignty occur atthis level. The essay finishes with some broader reflectionson how the works under review conceptualize the internationallegal order, regrets the absence at times of engagement withrelevant constructivist scholarship but notes that the answerto the question of the precise relationship between internationalcriminal law and sovereignty is unlikely to be agreed upon soon.     

论人权国际保护与国家主权

人权国际保护与国家主权的关系 ,是现代国际法上的一个基本理论问题。人权国际保护与国家主权并不是绝对对立的 ,而是互相统一、互相促进的。一方面 ,人权国际保护对国家主权提出了新的挑战 ;另一方面 ,国家主权又对人权国际保护产生制约。在承认不干涉内政原则的情况下 ,国际社会在特定情势下为保护人权可进行干涉。     

论国际刑事法院管辖权与国家主权

国际刑事法院管辖权与国家主权一直是人们论争的焦点。作为补充性管辖权 ,国际刑事法院管辖权是国家主权相对性的表现 ,也是国家主权的自愿让渡 ,与国家主权总体相容 ,但其隐含的第三国义务则超越了现有国际体制。为保证国际刑事法院的有效运作 ,必须坚持国际社会共同利益与国家利益的统一 ,保证国际秩序追求与国家权力追求之平衡     

国际法与国内法关系的主权论

国际法与国内法的关系是国际法的一个根本性问题,也是一个饱受争议的话题,由此形成了不同派别的主张。影响国际法与国内法关系理论与实践的最深层次因素是主权,不同的主权观决定了国际法与国内法关系理论与实践之间的差异。主权又决定于其所处时代的情势。国际法与国内法关系发展的新动向对传统的主权观带来了极大的挑战,从主权与治权两个维度去理解和构建与之相适应的新的主权观,无疑具有十分积极的现实意义。     

European Law and International Regimes: The Features of Law Beyond the Nation State

Different forms of law are perceived of as possessing differing degrees of legal quality. A quality continuum suggests itself, running from 'high quality' national law, through to 'lesser quality' European law and to 'low quality' international law. This article seeks to explain the perceived differences in the quality of these laws with reference to legal theoretical perceptions of what it is that constitutes the law's quality. It argues that only a theory of law which identifies the core of the law's integrity as lying in its ability to act as a fulcrum between spheres of social and public discourse and the exercise of power can fully explain the divergence in legal quality between national, European and international law. With specific regard to the quality of European law, it concludes by arguing that it is weakened by its relative lack of social internalisation—in comparison with a higher degree of legal and political internalisation—within the European public.

Sovereignty and International Order

Abstract. Sovereignty may be threatened by obligations and relations with other nations, states or powers from either an “internal” or “external” perspective. In this paper, I argue that these obligations and relationships may be compatible with a state's sovereignty if we understand the proper nature of authoritative relationships. This requires a model of “rational authority” which places emphasis on the first-person perspective of the subjects to authority.     

论刑法学中的规范违反说

刑法学中的规范违反说对于克服法益侵害说的缺陷,促进公众的刑法认同感,准确评价犯罪具有重要意义。本文对规范的含义和内容、社会伦理规范对于社会的价值、规范违反说的哲学根基进行了分析,指出由于人们的生活是由规范直接或者间接塑造的,对犯罪本质的解释也就必须从规范违反说入手,从而将犯罪界定为违反社会共同体内的伦理规范并在一定程度上侵害法益的行为。结合规范违反说来重新解释犯罪论体系,不仅可能,而且极具现实意义。

论国际法上的国家身份建构

国家不仅是一种建立在实效性原则上的实体,也是一种国际主体身份的建构与认同。国际社会里的共识观念、秩序和规则对国家身份的建构有着极为重要的作用,但在现代国际社会里所逐步形成并可把握运用的主要是一些基本的框架和原则。而建立在客观基础上博弈互动的承认则对国家身份建构具有重要的构成性质、意义和作用。国家作为一种主体身份是可以独立存在和传承、延续的。因而,把实效性要素与主权要素等非实效性要素相结合的国家身份建构是恰当合理的,国家身份的建构不能简单地依靠国际法规则的制订与完善,它只能是在一定的国际法框架、原则基础上由各种因素复杂博弈而成。     

消失的国家:海平面上升对国际法的挑战及应对

气候变化和海平面上升给国际社会特别是低洼沿海国家带来严重威胁,也对国际法带来重大挑战。低洼、偏远的(发展中)小岛屿国家可能将逐步被淹没,引发包括海洋边界、国家主体地位、新的无国籍状态、跨境气候难民人权保护等诸多复杂法律问题。海平面上升可能从根本上改变海岸线,给岛屿、基线和全球海洋边界带来不确定性,增加国家间海洋权益争端。《联合国海洋法公约》尚未澄清导致领海基线后退的海平面上升是否会影响沿海国管辖海域的外部边界。海洋法、国际环境法、国际人权法等尚未能为国家应对该危机提供规则支持。《维也纳条约法公约》第62条不支持将海平面上升作为国家可单方面终止边界条约的情势变更。永久固定或冻结基线将促进海域边界的稳定并有利于海洋划界。一个领土"物理"丧失或不适宜居住的国家应能继续保持其"国家"地位,但其生存与海域管辖权行使将面临难题。
