War of Race? War of Culture? War of Canon?——With Reference to the Debate Between Rita Dove and Helen Vendler

November 2011 witnessed the rise of an unprecedented debate at the American poetry forum. The parties involved are the U.S. former poet laureate, African American woman poet, Rita Dove, and the most distinguished contemporary American critic Helen Vendler. The cause of the debate is the publication of The Penguin Anthology of Twentieth-Century American Poetry edited by Rita Dove. For a while, newspapers, magazines and the internet have been heated by the fires between Dove and Vendler, as well as their followers. However, underlying this sound and fury, three frequently appeared key words remind us that this debate is a unique multi-dimensional American cultural war. It is the exteriorization of the interweaving and conflicting of racism, multiculturalism and cosmopolitanism which coexist in the deep vein of American social culture and ideology.     

In search of international criminal justice in Africa: What role for the United Nations?

The International Criminal Court (ICC) ran into considerable controversy almost immediately after its creation. More than 10 years later, the tension between the court and the AU is palpable. The court’s perceived political prosecutions as well as procedural flaws in light of the power bestowed on the UN Security Council under Article 13(b) of the Rome Statute are some of the areas of contention. However, despite the obvious flaws of the ICC, there is also widespread scepticism that the AU can be trusted to mobilise sufficient political will to deliver justice on the continent, more so in cases where the perpetrators are sitting heads of state or government. In lieu of cooperation with the ICC and the UN, can the AU deliver justice to victims of gross human rights abuses? Are extraordinary African Chambers such as the one created in Senegal to try the former Chadian dictator Hissene Habre an alternative to the ICC? This article argues that it is only through a partnership of convenience between the AU and the UN that victims of human rights abuses on the continent can access justice. Furthermore, the article opines that calls for African states to withdraw from the ICC en mass must be vigorously opposed.     

试论我国刑事侦查阶段犯罪嫌疑人的人权保障

刑事司法保障是人权保障的重要机制,在刑事司法领域,从国家追究犯罪的效果这个角度来看,侦查程序可以看作是整个刑事诉讼的基础。从人权保障的角度来看,刑事被追诉者的各种权利保障在侦查阶段是最薄弱的,所以侦查程序也可以看作是刑事司法人权保障关键。而我国的侦查程序尚未完善,还存在许多不利于人权保障的问题,因此,加强司法监控,完善侦查监督机制,扩大律师在侦查阶段的参与范围和参与权,强化刑事被追诉人的权利保障,明确其真正法律意义上的诉讼地位,切实深入贯彻无罪推定原则,将侦查法制化,从而实现刑事司法领域人权的有效保障。

儒家现代化转型的困境与社会主义新文化的优越性

随着20世纪中国社会的经济、政治、文化的变革,传统儒家文化现代化问题被提出,其在社会转型中的成功与否直接关系到自身的消亡与复兴,由此并产生了新儒家思想。但是传统儒家文化在现代化转型中有着难以克服的困难,新儒家思想缺乏实现的必要条件。社会主义新文化是植根于人民的生产、生活之中,建立在现代化中国基础之上,适应中国现代社会的发展需要,占主体地位的新型思想文化,是马克思主义中国化的成果。其＂立国之本＂的主体地位有着历史、现实和群众的基础,传统儒家思想和新儒家思想无法挑战与取代。     

核损害赔偿的基本原则

核能的和平发展和利用,是20世纪人类最重大的科技成就之一。核电站于上世纪50年代左右开始起步,到本世纪已经达到了商业化发展的水平,成为一种具有吸引力的能源。但是,核能的和平利用在给人类社会带来巨大好处的同时,也伴随着巨大的风险。随着前苏联切尔诺贝利和日本福岛等重大核事故的不断发生,核安全特别是核损害赔偿问题日益引起国际社会的广泛关注。通过对与核损害赔偿有关的国际公约和各国国内法进行系统整理,总结出核损害赔偿的基本原则,可为我国制定《核安全法》提供有益的经验。     

非法吸收公众存款罪定量要素初探--以罪名限缩适用为视角

定量要素是指刑法规定中反映危害行为对法益造成损害的量的要素。非法吸收公众存款罪作为经济犯罪的典型罪名，其社会危害性必须达到一定量的程度才具有可罚的违法性。本罪的定量要素包括犯罪数额、犯罪数量、犯罪行为特征等。行为构成犯罪需同时满足法律规定的数额条件和对象数量条件；集资行为给存款人造成的损失数额不是犯罪构成要件要素，但可作为量刑因素予以考虑；对非法吸收公众存款行为的利诱性、社会性必须进行程度的判断，在此基础上才能进一步认定行为构成要件的符合性。     

《共产党宣言》对当代中国马克思主义大众化的启示

《共产党宣言》对当代中国马克思主义大众化的启示主要体现在以下几个方面：马克思主义理论工作者应当对社会现实问题高度关注，并站在人民群众的立场上来剖析社会现实；他们不断地从改革发展的实践中汲取理论创新的动力，能够经常性地进行自我批判；他们应保持对社会思想潮流变化的敏锐性，敢于应对各种反马克思主义的社会思潮的诘难和挑战；当代中国的马克思主义不仅需要在本国范围内传播与应用，而且需要通过语言转化来实现向外的扩散与传播；用通俗易懂的语言来阐释马克思主义中国化的理论成果；利用更多的媒体，尤其是新兴的互联网媒体来传播马克思主义中国化的理论成果。
