论现代环境法面临的若干新问题——以美国环境法为视角

人们因环境危险而产生的心理上恐惧、因有毒物质引发的染色体变异和新兴技术对人类未来产生的不确定影响三个方面的问题给现代环境法提出新的挑战。心理上恐惧被美国环境法所忽视,这缺乏相应的法理基础,也与其他相关法律领域对精神损害的处理方式不一致。对染色体变异本身是否构成损害以及是否构成损害的危险各方争论不一,还未形成一致的结论。对新兴技术的不确定性,美国环境法采取的应对措施通常是不作为。     

The Force of International Law: Lawyers' Diplomacy on the International Scene in the 1920s

Where does international law (IL) draw its authority from a still weakly institutionalized international scene deprived of the warrants of a state? To address this classical debate, the article draws from a case study on the social and professional structure of the “international legal community” as it emerged during the 1920s as part of the rise of multilateralism and international organizations. It focuses on the “situation of the international lawyers” of the time, starting with the multiple and often antagonistic roles they play (as legal advisers, scholars, judges, diplomats, politicians, etc.) and the variety of interests and causes they defend (states, international organizations, professional interests, etc.) in international politics. It argues this heteronomy of international lawyers helps understand the autonomization of international law. Far from being opposed to one another it has often been assumed—realism and idealism, national loyalty and international loyalty, political logic and learned logic—actually gain when analyzed as various modes of affirming a single cause—that of an international rule of law. This attention given to the “situation of international lawyers” and to the way they manage their various allegiances also accounts for the particular vision of the “International” and of “Law and Politics” relationships that are encapsulated in this emerging international corpus juris.     

Environmental Impact Assessments in International Law

The purpose of this article is to assess what the current state of play with regard to environmental impact assessments (EIAs) is in international law. This question is posed because of the casual use of the term, and the often fundamental misunderstandings of what EIAs can and cannot do. This paper aims to clarify the current strength of EIAs in the international context, and provide guidance on how they may be applied.     

论调整生物科技关系的若干国际法问题

生物科技的飞速发展需要国际法的调整。对位于一国领土内的、附着于动植物身上的生物资源,其生物基因资源原则上应归该国所有。对位于共同空间生物基因资源、人类基因组资源则应适用＂人类的共同继承财产＂规则。＂人类共同关注的问题＂则可以作为前二者的辅助规则。生物科技的发展和运用应符合国际环境法上的谨慎原则、预防原则和国际合作原则。而在从事生物科技的商业开发过程中,对利用来自一国基因资源所生产的生物、化学、医学制品,应按照公平原则与该国分享。     

打击索马里海盗中的国际合作问题研究

近年来索马里海域海盗活动猖獗,危及国际海运安全和全人类的共同利益,已成为国际社会高度关注的,影响和破坏国际海运安全的问题之一,构成了严重危害和平与安全的国际罪行。联合国通过决议授权后各国纷纷赴索马里海域打击海盗。从国际法学角度通过对打击海盗行为的依据、目的、各国的普遍管辖权、免责以及国家主权原则的例外等国际法律问题的分析,可以厘定打击海盗行为的性质、方式和合法性。     

论修改《环境保护法》的几个问题

贯彻"十八大"关于"大力推进生态文明建设"的精神,将1989年《环境保护法》修改成对我国今后环境资源生态保护工作具有基础指导作用、长期引导作用、全面激励作用的综合性法律、政策性法律。修改后的法律应该是将生态文明建设摆在国家"五位一体建设总布局"突出位置、具有生态法特征的综合性法律;应该申明、宣示和规定环境法的基本理念、基本原则;明确规定公民的基本环境权利和义务,公民有享用清洁、健康的环境的权利,有保护环境的义务;明确规定环境公益诉讼;明确政府的环境责任,健全政府环境责任问责制;规定基本的环境法律制度和重要的环境法律措施,规定政策环境影响评价。
