Seeking Justice for the Holocaust: Herbert C. Pell Versus the US State Department

Herbert C. Pell served his nation as an Ambassador and member of the US House of Representatives, as well as US Representative on the United Nations War Crimes Commission (UNWCC). This article presents his struggle with the US State department and the bureaucratic and legalistic dispute that developed over the UNWCC particularly with respect to policy considerations surrounding whether or not to prosecute crimes against humanity committed by the Nazis in Germany and satellite territories. The article traces Pell’s initial difficulty engaging with the work of the UNWCC due to the State Department’s delaying techniques and the absence of clear instructions from either the State Department or the President. Moreover, it is shown how Pell struggled to convince the State Department and his fellow UNWCC members to include the above-mentioned crimes. This debate and Pell’s role has remained largely unknown to a public that considers the post-war Nuremberg war crimes trials an achievement in the advancement of international law and justice. To whatever extent those trials were such, particularly in advancing international human rights law by adjudicating Axis war criminals for crimes against humanity, it is singularly noteworthy that Axis war criminals might not have been prosecuted at all for these crimes were it not for the efforts of Herbert Pell.     

法律文书学在我国法学本科教育中的地位应予提高

与社会实际生活中人们愈益重视法律文书的作用形成鲜明对比的是,我国法学本科教育中却不甚重视法律文书学的教学,以致在一定程度上影响了法学本科毕业生的就业率。导致法学教育界轻视法律文书学的根本原因,是没有认清法律文书学的课程价值。因此,要提高法律文书学在我国法学本科教育中的地位,首先必须明确其价值,其次还应借鉴国外法学教育中重视法律文书学教学的有关经验,并在此基础上采取相应的改善措施。     

卓越法律人才培养中法律文书学师资队伍建设的困境与对策

重理论教学而轻实践技能的训练导致法科毕业生职业能力难以满足用人单位选人用人之需和建设社会主义法治国家之需是以往我国法学教育的一大硬伤。因此,摆脱这种困境的关键措施之一是加强实践性教学,使法学教育职业化以训练学生的法律职业能力。这就急需师资队伍的实践化。法律文书学课程既可以综合训练学生的法律思维能力、法律解释能力、法律推理能力、法律论证能力和法律事实探知能力,也可以训练学生的法律文书制作技能,可现在该课程的师资队伍却存在着某些不尽如人意之处,难以满足法学教育职业化的需要,所以,应当采取有力措施加强其师资队伍建设。     

欧美竞争中立政策对我国国有企业影响研究

欧美竞争中立政策将对未来我国的国有企业发展形势产生重大影响。当前在美国力推"跨太平洋战略经济伙伴关系协定"以及经合组织国家重点关注竞争中立的情况下,我国经贸关系发展的空间有面临被严重挤压的风险。国有企业的竞争中立政策将成为我国一个无法回避的议题。应该正确面对竞争中立政策,制定出符合我国国情的竞争中立措施并以此进一步推动国有企业的改革进程。     

中国知识分子眼中的纳粹奥运会——以储安平的奥运系列报道为例

1936年的柏林奥运会,充满种族歧视与狂热的领袖崇拜,为纳粹党进一步实行种族主义与对外扩张创造了思想和舆论条件。柏林奥运会被视为一届与奥运精神背道而驰的极权主义运动会,是奥运史上的致命错误。然而,在储安平眼中,柏林奥运会却是一次和平、友好、博爱的盛会。储安平赞赏希特勒的国家动员能力和德国民众服从领袖的表现,认为德国冲破《凡尔赛和约》的束缚,实为获得伟大的民族解放,应该为中国仿照。此种认知偏差及产生的原因,值得重新审视。

The San Francisco Peace Treaty and the Disposal of the Japanese Territory

As the San Francisco Peace Treaty has violated the principle of "not making a separate armistice or peace with the enemy" and denied the allies’ provisions for the disposal of Japanese territory, it is illegal and invalid, and cannot form the Japanese "legal basis" for their so-called Diaoyu Islands being Japan’s "inherent territory."
