La constitucionalización del derecho en méxico

In this essay I defend the idea that the mexican legal order has been partially constitutionalized since the amendment to the first article of the Constitution in june 2011. I argue that some conditions of a constitutionalized legal system can be found in this rule. An analysis of those conditions is carried out through the work and in the end I discuss the matter of whether this constitutional change amounts to a new legal paradigm.     

美国联邦巡回上诉法院特色机制及对我国的借鉴

设立知识产权专门法院以审理知识产权案件的做法是当今国际主流,然而我国自拥有知识产权制度以来,便始终处于面向“三审合一”模式的缓慢衍进之中。我国知识产权专门法院体系随着《关于在北京、上海、广州设立知识产权法院的决定》的施行虽有渐成之势,但是仍未能触及设立全国性知识产权法院的问题。鉴于中美两国知识产权环境的相似性以及密切的贸易关系,我国在知识产权法院的创设问题上可以借鉴“美国模式”的经验。了解围绕联邦巡回上诉法院而建立的美国诉讼体系,对解决我国所面临的“司法与行政双轨制”“循环诉讼”以及知识产权法官选任等问题具有相当价值。     

中国拥有钓鱼岛主权的证据链构造

传统上,对于钓鱼岛主权归属问题,我国学界通常以历史证据和地图证据主张作为论证的逻辑起点,缺乏结合证据规则进行的论证。在论证钓鱼岛主权归属问题时,应当对证据主张的逻辑与证据链构造逻辑予以区分,并可借鉴国际法院适用的证据分量大小认定规则,确立“历史证据/相关条约”作为论证钓鱼岛归属中国的逻辑进路,辅之以其他层级关键证据,赋予其决定性分量,以构造出拥有钓鱼岛主权层级结构分明、环环相扣的完整证据链,历史证据与《开罗宣言》《波茨坦公告》等国际条约共同确证了钓鱼岛主权回归中国,构筑证明钓鱼岛主权属中国所有的总证据链的第一子证据链;中国对钓鱼岛进行有效管辖及其相关证据构成第二子证据链;中国、日本和第三方证明钓鱼岛主权归属中国的地图等证据,构成第三子证据链。     

论国际海洋法庭的临时措施

根据国际法有关规定,国际海洋法法庭应当事人的请求,可以采取临时措施。该法庭自设立以来,共处理了十三个案件,其中三个案件涉及到临时措施。然而迄今为止,很少有人对此进行系统的研究。本文拟以三个案例的比较分析为基础,探讨国际法中有关临时措施程序的规定在实践中的应用。     

Public commitment strategies in intergovernmental negotiations on the EU Constitutional Treaty

We analyze the impact of public commitment strategies as bargaining tools in the negotiations on the EU Constitutional Treaty using a sequential-bargaining model with incomplete information. The analysis suggests selection bias in observable public commitments with respect to the kind of issues that are publicly challenged as well as the kind of governments that will ‘go public’. Public commitments are more likely under high uncertainty over audience costs. Further, the effect of public commitments on the duration and outcome of negotiation is conditional as well. In our empirical analysis, where we analyze the intergovernmental stage of the negotiations on the European Constitutional Treaty, we find strong empirical support for each of our theoretical predictions. Governments were most likely to commit publicly if they represented a domestic constituency that was negative about the EU Constitution and, at the same time, contained many undecided respondents. Moreover, these public commitments were generally quickly accommodated. In contrast, public commitments were less likely to lead to any changes if they were made by governments representing a domestic constituency that was relatively positive about the draft Constitution or negative and decided. In the latter case, however, public statements made bargaining deadlock more likely.

人民法院提起民事审判监督程序的两个问题

民事诉讼法将人民法院提起民事审判监督程序的条件规定为“确有错误” ,违背了诉讼法的基本原则 ,不利于纠正错误 ,也与其他法律规定相抵触 ,立法上应作出具体规定 ,以便于实务中操作。人民法院对本院已经发生法律效力的判决、裁定 ,发现确有错误 ,其提起再审程序的主体既不是本院院长 ,也不是本院审判委员会 ,而只能是人民法院
