Extending the Reach of Human Rights to Encompass Victims of Rape: M.C. V. Bulgaria

This note analyses a recent case of the European Court of Justice in which the applicant, a 14-year old rape victim, alleged that Bulgarian criminal law violated her rights under Articles 3 and 8 of the European Convention of Human Rights in pursuing a practice of only prosecuting rape where there was evidence of the use of physical force and active resistance. In upholding the applicant’s claims, the Court re-affirmed the positive obligation on states to adopt measures to ensure that fundamental rights under the Convention were secured. In particular, in the case of rape, this required the enactment and application of criminal laws effectively prescribing all acts of non-consensual sex and not just those involving physical violence. In this way the Court affirmed not only that rape was, in essence, a violation of personal sexual autonomy but also that legal systems which failed adequately to protect against all forms of rape risked operating in breach of Convention obligations.Application no. 39272/98, 4 December 2003.     

宗族弱化与村民自治关系研究--以武汉市屏风村为例

如何看待村治中的宗族,以及如何在村民自治不规范时适当地强调宗族的正面效果,是当代农村问题研究的学者和政府权力应当深思的问题.和历史上的宗族相比较,现在的宗族处于一种明显弱化的状态.在转型时期,许多农村处于一种缺乏强制力的失范与失序状态.不仅村民自治这种制度供给未能树立应该有的权威,连宗族这种传统文化的整合形式也未能发挥作用.村民自治,一方面需要良好的制度环境,另一方面还需要村民本身的文明素质.     

A Pretty Fine Line: Life, Death, Autonomy and Letting it B

The cases of Diane Pretty and Ms B. raise crucial issues about decision-making and autonomy at the end of life. Ms B. was permitted her wish to die rather than live permanently dependent upon a ventilator because her case was constructed as one about withholding consent to medical treatment, which every adult with capacity has a right to do. Mrs Pretty, however, sought active intervention to end her life. Requiring assistance to die, and claiming that this was her human right, she sought an assurance that her husband would not be prosecuted if he helped her. Her claim was rejected and the assurance refused. The cases prompt questions about the nature of autonomy, the influence of others and the different way sin which medical and legal decisions are made. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.
