Are today's authoritarian leaders doomed to be indicted when they leave office? The Russian and other post-Soviet cases

The attitudes of leaders toward their personal future are very important to domestic and international politics. These views are particularly vital in the case of leaders of non-democratic regimes who could face legal prosecution for their corrupt acts or violations of human rights in their own country and abroad. In spite of these fears, however, the leaders in many authoritarian societies trespass laws, both domestic and international, in order to preserve their power and enrich their families. They expose themselves to the danger of the prosecution after they leave office or lose control of the regime. In this context, the author pays special attention to Vladimir Putin's political future and to the developments in Russia, which favor and disfavor his continued stay in power after 2008.

“中国梦”的国际评价述略

党的十八大以来,“中国梦”不但引起了国内的热议和讨论,还赢得了国际社会的广泛关注.究其原因,与中国的国际影响力,新一届中国领导人的政治宣言以及“中国梦”所体现出的道路自信、理论自信、制度自信是分不开的.国际社会对“中国梦”进行了高度的评价,体现出广泛的认同感,但是国际社会对“中国梦”也存在一些疑惑.我们应该继续增强“中国梦”的有效认同,同时要积极化解疑惑,构建良好的国际环境.总之,实现“中国梦”要充分利用国际机遇,积极应对国际挑战,在国际环境中历练自身,成就梦想.     

国际疾病分类（ICD）的发展史

通用、统一的疾病分类就像是自然科学领域里的标准度量衡一样,不可或缺。疾病分类不仅可供医护人员使用,还可为司法鉴定、健康保险机构、国防卫生服务系统、公共卫生管理等作为评价健康状况的“度量衡”。受人类认识水平及科学发展的客观规律影响,疾病分类标准的制定与完善就注定不是一劳永逸的,它需要一代又一代的科研人员不断的进行修订与调整。作为国际通用的疾病分类,更加需要国际组织与各国家和地区的通力合作。随着我国经济、社会与医疗卫生事业的发展,对统一的疾病分类标准需求将更加广泛《,国际疾病分类》不仅在公共卫生领域,还将在司法鉴定领域发挥至关重要的作用。     

纽伦堡审判在当代国际人权保护中的作用

纽伦堡审判犹如当代国际人权法发展历程上的里程碑,它将自然法思想引入到以法律实证主义为基础的实在法中,突破了国家主权在国际人权保护中形成的障碍,明确了个人应承担的国际法责任与义务,使个人成为国际法的不法主体,进而使法律的“应然”与“实然”结合在一起。联合国发扬光大了纽伦堡审判的精神和实质,使国际人权法成为国际法中的一个重要分支,从纽伦堡审判到《国际刑事法院规约》的生效,后者目前所遇到的问题与60年前的情况相似,它是否能如设计者所希望的那样还需大国在其中发挥更大的作用。     

The ‘wanted’ children. Experiences of Hungarian children living with Belgian foster families during the interwar period

Transnational adoption and child migration are often regarded as recent phenomena, yet there is a long history of children travelling without their families, settling and integrating in a foreign culture and environment. In the 1920s, thousands of Hungarian children went to Belgium for a six-month holiday within the framework of a humanitarian project. Although they were supposed to return to Hungary after their vacation, some of them stayed indefinitely with their Belgian families. By analyzing oral testimonies of the now elderly ‘children’ about their migration and childhood experiences in Belgium, we explore how they construct and reconstruct concepts such as childhood, vulnerability, and loyalty commitments, and show the crucial importance of maintaining birth family ties for the future development of transnationally adopted children.     

国际法律秩序与中国的和平发展

本文试图围绕中国的和平发展与和平崛起,就中国融入国际体制这样一个热点问题,从国际法律秩序的角度谈一点个人见解。从法律的角度考察,国际体制可以归结为国际法律秩序。当代的国际法律秩序,主要包括共存法与合作法两大部分。一个国家,不论它是主动还是被动、情愿还是不情愿,都生活在这个国际法律秩序中。中国的明智选择是,顺应时代潮流,融入主流社会,借助国际法维护自身利益,同时促进国际社会的和平与发展;主动参与国际规则的制定,在国际规则中体现本国的意愿和利益;在承认和尊重现状的前提下致力于改进和完善现行国际法律秩序。实践证明,改革开放以来的中国正是实践了这样一种战略选择,这也成为中国实现和平崛起的坚实基础。
