1999年国际公法和国际私法学研究的回顾与展望

一、国际法学部分 (一)概述 1999年是国际法学的研究形势较好的一年。一方面,今年恰逢第一次海牙和平会议召开一百周年和日内瓦国际人道法四公约签订五十周年,同时也是联合国国际法十年的最后一年。国际法得到广泛普及,遵守、维护国际法成为共识。另一方面,新殖民主义、霸权主义抬头,发生了以美国为首的北约无视联合国的权威对南斯拉夫联盟共和国进行长达78天的空中打击和轰炸中国驻南大使馆、造成我使馆人员伤亡及财...     

International Law in Practice: An Irish Perspective

国内公法对国际法的影响

国际法包括私法意义上的国际法和公法意义上的国际法。近现代国际法本质上是一种私法意义上的国际法,但国际交往的日益频繁与复杂必然要求建立某种形式的等级制与集中化架构,公法意义上的国际法应运而生。作为一种后发的法律秩序,国际法受到较为成熟的国内法的影响是很自然的。在借鉴国内公法发展国际法时面临某些重要的障碍,也会产生不可忽视的风险,应该予以充分的注意。国内公法日益影响国际法的趋势对于中国的国际法理论与实践将产生重要的影响。     

国际私法上公共秩序保留制度之比较研究

本文在比较各国有关公共秩序保留制度的学说及立法与司法实践的基础上,对这一制度从其产生之基础、功能与缺陷、"公共秩序"的含义、公序保留所排除的对象、公序保留之后的法律适用及其与其他相关制度,如识别、直接适用法和单边冲突规范的关系等多个角度进行解析,进而对我国国际私法中公序保留制度的设计提出一些建议.     

公法权利的实践——结社现象的法学意义

我国公法权利实践之所以可能,主要是与公法本身的发展分不开的,私法权利实践也起到了积极的推进作用,而思想观念的变化、普法教育的开展以及法律体系的完善和法治原则深入人心,都从不同角度、不同层次为我国公法权利实践提供着可能性。从公民结社权的实践来看,我国公法权利实践的最重要特点是,它是依附于行政权力的权利,是需要行政权力提供保护的权利。约束行政权力,改变依附于权力的现状,并使之成为真正具有法律意义的权利,是我国公法权利实践未来发展的大致方向。     

Private International Law in Chinese Courts

After the entry of China into World Trade Organization, there are problems such as jurisdiction, application of law, and judicial assistance, which need to be resolved step by step in judicial practice on foreign-related civil and commercial matters. As for private and international law problems in the Chinese courts, this paper analyses some general issues, including renovi, inter-temporal conflicts, and proof of foreign laws; reviews jurisdiction problems, for example, common jurisdiction versus special jurisdiction, selective jurisdiction versus presumptive jurisdiction and exclusive jurisdiction; discusses the choice of law problems such as the principle of party autonomy, the principle of the most significant relationship and dépeçage method; and studies recognition and enforcement of foreign judgment and international commercial arbitral award.

Chinese Observations on International Law

This commentary presents Chinese observations on some importantcontemporary issues of international law. In an effort to clarifyChina's position on the principle of sovereignty, which is oftenmisinterpreted in the West, the speaker analyses the principleof sovereignty against the current debate on the changing natureof international legal order and highlights the arguments relatingto the fragmentation of international law, the responsibilityto protect, and international criminal jurisdiction, from thepoint of view of China and the wider developing world.     

国际法的西方传统与中国观念

当代国际法仍然由西方文明主导的现实,使得在中国国际法学界存在着是否必要、是否可能建立起国际法中国观念的疑问。对历史事实进行分析可以看出,国际法虽然具有很强的西方文化烙印,但并不局限于西方文化,其既有的发展轨迹上已经有了非西方文化的印记。在未来变革的进程中,国际法有可能受到积极参与者的立场和观念的影响,呈现出新的格局和趋势。因而,非西方的国际法理论既具有客观上的必要性,也具有现实的可行性。倡导并建构国际法的中国观念,在方法上意味着要更充分注重定性研究和规范分析,在路径上要求通过观念的批判和建构,在元理论方面提出国际法认知和运行的新概念、新因素、新论断,从而有利于在具体规则和外交策略上提升中国的形象、维护中国的利益。

法律翻译在中国近代的第一次完整实践——以1864年《万国公法》的翻译为中心

无论在中国,还是世界上其他国家,法律移植都是与法律翻译联系在一起的。后者是前者的前提,前者是后者的结果———当一个国家希望学习、借鉴、吸收其他国家的法律时,由于是不同的语言,就必须将他国的法律先翻译为本国的语言,然后才有可能作出判断、作出评价、作出采纳与否的选择。本文以1864年翻译出版的《万国公法》为具体个案,着重解读中国近代第一次完整的法律翻译实践过程及这一实践的成果与不足,分析其对中国近现代法律翻译与移植乃至本土化运动的影响,并揭示其如何促进了中国近代翻译学、语言学的进步。
