对依法加大打击"洗钱"犯罪力度的思考

“洗钱”既是一种犯罪行为,又是使犯罪规模升级和恶性膨胀的重要根源,危及国家金融安全和社会治安稳定。为有力打击和遏制“洗钱”犯罪,必须加深对“洗钱”犯罪问题的认识,在用足用好现行法律打击“洗钱”犯罪的基础上,通过进一步加强“反洗钱”立法,构建我国“反洗钱”的情报网络和惩治机制。     

端正执法思想坚持执法为民

公安执法工作中存在的一些不公正和不文明现象的原因是多方面的,但执法指导思想不端正则是最根本的思想根源。因此,端正执法指导思想,坚持执法为民,是当前亟待解决的重要课题。坚持执法为民,必须摒弃不良的执法思想;必须树立正确的执法观念;必须贯彻严格、公正、文明的原则。     

Cap-and-trade or carbon taxes? The feasibility of enforcement and the effects of non-compliance

One of the proposed alternatives to Kyoto’s cap-and-trade approach is a regime based on an internationally harmonized carbon tax. In this paper, we consider and compare the enforcement problems associated with a tax regime and a cap-and-trade regime, respectively. The paper tries to convey two main points. First, both types of regime require an_. effective enforcement mechanism. However, such a mechanism is unlikely to be adopted as part of a regime with full participation, because the political process leading up to its adoption tends to water down the enforcement mechanism to a point where it no longer has much bite. And even if this is somehow avoided, countries expecting compliance to be difficult or costly will almost certainly decline to sign—not to mention ratify—the resulting agreement. Second, the implications of non-compliance in a tax regime differ in important ways from the corresponding implications in a cap-and-trade regime. In a cap-and-trade regime emissions trading can make inaction legitimate for buyers of emission permits. In particular, overselling of permits by one (or a few) permit exporting countries might completely undermine the regime’s environmental effect. In a tax regime, by contrast, one country’s non-compliance can not make inaction by other countries legitimate. It follows that an agreement based on a harmonized carbon tax will always have some effect, provided that at least one country complies.     

论仲裁裁决的撤销与不予执行——兼谈中国《仲裁法》的修改

仲裁裁决的撤销与不予执行制度是法院对仲裁进行司法监督的重要方式。本文在探究该制度在我国的来源、仲裁制度的价值以及对各国仲裁监督制度进行比较后认为,新修订的《仲裁法》不应再拘泥于1991年修订的《民事诉讼法》的规定,特别是“双轨制”和实体审查的规定,在平衡公正与效率两个原则的前提下,顺应国际立法潮流,实行仅对仲裁裁决的程序事项进行司法审查的制度,在撤销和不予执行仲裁裁决制度上实行“单轨制”,本文在文末进一步提出了具体的修改意见。     

从美国的环境执法看非强制行政

在环境执法领域,美国行政机关充分运用市场机制等经济协调手段、金融手段以及行政奖励诱导和鼓励投资者遵守环境法规,并通过信息公开加强执法者与管理者的交流、沟通,促进、鼓励公众参与环境立法和执法,这种非强制行政执法模式取得了良好成效。美国的非强制行政理论与模式对于我国建立以人为本的行政执法机制、促进法律运行的现代化有重要借鉴意义。     

行政执法案卷评查制度研究

行政执法案卷评查,是我国推行依法行政中需要解决的重要问题。从各地方的实践来看,行政执法案卷评查制度虽然已经取得了巨大进展,但还存在许多问题,我们应该认识到行政执法案卷评查制度的重要性,进一步完善、健全该制度。     

Reengineering the Child Support Scheme: An Australian Perspective on the British Government's Proposals

After years of problems with the Child Support Scheme in Britain, the Government has decided to attempt reform again, less than four years after a previous major change was implemented in 2003. The author evaluates these reform proposals, drawing upon his experience in leading a recent major review of child support policy in Australia. While many of the reform measures offer a sensible way forward for child support policy, Britain risks going backwards in terms of community acceptance of the child support obligation. The Government needs to consider the likely impact of its policy settings on private agreements about child support. Ways are proposed both to protect the Treasury and to promote the wellbeing of children by adopting different policy settings that ensure the resident parent has an incentive to bargain for the level of child support required by the new formula. The new formula itself is evaluated in the light of the international research on the costs of children. Ways are also suggested for developing a co-ordinated approach across government to the provision of support services for parents who do not live together.     

WTO框架下完善我国知识产权滥用规制制度的若干思考

防止滥用知识产权是WTO框架下的TRIPs协议确立的一项基本原则。我国对于知识产权滥用的规制既要充分利用TRIPs给予成员的立法空间,又要符合TRIPs协议的要求。我们应该就TRIPs协议中已经规定的对限制竞争行为的禁止、专利强制许可、滥用知识产权执法程序等几个方面来建立和完善规制知识产权滥用的制度,以全面履行TRIPs协议。     

政治合法性视野下的警察执法规范问题研究

执法规范化建设是公安部部署推进的"三项建设"之一,也是全面提升公安工作水平的重要抓手。从政治合法性理论的演进分析,警察执法规范需要遵循"正当性"和"合理性"。当前警察执法的规范准则呈现多元化特征,警察执法规范的多元化标准在实践中存在诸多冲突,为此,要从警察执法的价值导向、裁量基准的制定、警察内部执法监控的强化等路径进一步规范警察的执法行为。     

我国执行当事人变更和追加制度之检视

民事诉讼中的当事人恒定原则与诉讼承担制度存在区别。在执行程序中,执行当事人随时可能因各种原因发生变化,从而产生执行当事人的变更和追加问题。我国的执行当事人变更和追加制度还存在一系列问题,应采取措施进一步完善这一制度。
