EU Accession to the ECHR: Between Autonomy and Adaptation

After the European Union's accession to the European Convention on Human Rights the EU will become subject to legally binding judicial decisions of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) and participate in statutory bodies of the Council of Europe (Parliamentary Assembly; Committee of Ministers) when they act under the Convention. Convention rights and their interpretation by the ECtHR will be directly enforceable against the EU institutions and against Member States when acting within the scope of EU law. This will vest the ECHR with additional force in a number of Member States, including Germany and the UK. All Member States will further be subject to additional constraints when acting under the Convention system. The article considers the reasons for, and consequences of the EU's primus inter pares position under the Convention and within the Council of Europe, and the likely practical effect of the EU's accession for its Member States.     

论法国民法典的宪法化

《法国民法典》具有极为崇高的地位,为形成和维系大革命以来的法兰西社会提供了重要的法律基础。但20世纪80年代以来,法国宪法法院通过合宪性审查不断使民法典受到宪法规范的约束、辐射和渗透,实现了路易·法沃赫教授所说的“宪法化”。30余年的宪法化进程使民法与宪法的关系进入了一种规范语境,民法典在规范上已经受到宪法的切实约束,同时,民法典作为“真正宪典”的社会作用也逐渐被人权宣言所取代。在探讨民法与宪法的关系时,“民法典是真正宪典”这一社会学命题不应错误地扩大到规范领域,更不能不顾时代变迁,忽视宪法化的时代背景。     

Religion in the Workplace: Eweida and Others v United Kingdom

The European Court of Human Rights judgment in Eweida and Others v United Kingdom dealt with the increasingly controversial questions of religious symbols at work and the clash between free conscience and anti‐discrimination norms. In a change of approach, it held that the right to resign could no longer be seen as adequate protection for religious freedom and that workplace norms that restrict religious liberty must satisfy a proportionality test. However, it accorded a wide margin of appreciation to States in reconciling freedom of conscience and freedom from discrimination, ruling that the importance of non‐discrimination could justify a failure to exempt a religious individual from complying with a policy forbidding discrimination on grounds of sexual orientation.     

Los cuidados de salud para los ancianos. Entre las limitaciones presupuestarias y el derecho a un mínimo existencial

The author contextualizes the effects of the realities of public finances on the (legislative) creation and judicial review of healthcare for the elderly. He establishes the relationship between economic factors and the conflicts arising out the claims and expectations of individuals, on the one hand, and the healthcare provided for by law, the public budget and administrative procedures. The author considers that the lack of financial resources and budgetary resources, while threatening to impose limitations on the judicial protection of such rights, is not necessarily an obstacle to the enforceability of healthcare rights, nor does it prevent the exercise of any other subjective rights created by law. Finally, the author points out the need for a better understanding of the expression an existential minimum (existenzminimum).     

论中国公民海外权益保护权—以利比亚撤侨为视角

中国公民海外权益保护权是中国公民在海外依法享有的一项宪法基本权利,有自己独立的特征。党和国家一贯重视保护中国公民在海外的正当权益,并不断加大保护力度,尤其体现在利比亚大撤侨的全过程中。保护海外中国公民权益,是我国国家性质、国家主权属性的内在要求,也是我们党的执政理念和维护人权的法治精神的重要体现。当然,保护海外中国公民合法权益工作还存在一些不足,值得我们认真总结和反思。

学生诉讼权宪法保障问题思考——以美国斯坦福大学《学生司法宪章》为例

斯坦福大学《学生司法宪章》在校园司法工作中,一方面始终将受指控学生的诉讼权利保护置于首位,另一方面又充分尊重了学生的诉讼参与权。《学生司法宪章》不仅为受指控学生制定了十方面共二十二项诉讼权利,也为司法过程中的其他诉讼参加人规定了七个方面共十四项诉讼权利,而且这些权利设定都以美国宪法《权利法案》为基础,通过这些逻辑严密的诉讼程序充分保障亍学生的诉讼权利,也体现了权利平等、正当程序、人民主权的宪政思想。
