Backups and the right to be forgotten in the GDPR: An uneasy relationship

The recent enforcement of the GDPR has put extra burdens to data controllers operating within the EU. Beyond other challenges, the exercise of the Right to be Forgotten by individuals who request erasure of their personal information has also become a thorny issue when applied to backups and archives. In this paper, we discuss the GDPR forgetting requirements in respect with their impact on the backup and archiving procedures stipulated by the modern security standards. We specifically examine the implications of erasure requests on current IT backup systems and we highlight a number of envisaged organizational, business and technical challenges pertained to the widely known backup standards, data retention policies, backup mediums, search services, and ERP systems.     

The right to be forgotten: The Israeli version

The right to be forgotten and erase, originally introduced in the well-known case of Google Spain, has caused considerable legal debates on both theoretical and procedural issues. The Israeli Supreme Court has also just recently considered the issue when it was asked to enforce the right to be forgotten of an Israeli advocate, Jonathan Miller, and delist harmful information which appeared in a Google search, and was in truth related to a different adv. Jonathan Miller. The plaintiff relied on the Israeli Prohibition of Defamation Law. Liability was denied on the basis that the information was indeed true, and thus- justified. We suggest in this article that the court should have imposed liability in negligence, an open ended general tort that mainly applies when particular torts fail to supply a reasonable and just solution in new factual situations due to change in social, economic and technological circumstances.     

论刑事诉讼程序的完善

与国外发达法律体系相比,我国刑事诉讼的程序设计仍存在诸多缺陷和完善改进的空间:(1)无罪推定原则并未被正式规定和完全认同;(2)沉默权在我国应及早确立;(3)在程序法上,应把客观事实与法律事实加以区分,法律真实才是司法诉讼证明的首要任务;(4)简易程序的设计必须符合正当程序理念。     

洗钱罪及其防范

近年来,国内外犯罪分子在我国领域内的洗钱活动越来越猖獗,犯罪形式越来越多样化,犯罪后果也越来越严重。由于洗钱犯罪通常具有跨国性、隐蔽性等特点,往往涉及多个国家的不同司法体系,存在司法管辖上的“涉外因素”和“灰色区域”,致使司法机关的调查取证工作更加艰难;又由于该罪立法上存在缺陷、防控机关间缺乏协调、国际间协作有待加强等因素,造成了对洗钱犯罪打击不力。因此,必须根据当前新形势的发展完善洗钱立法,密切国内外防控机关间的合作,以加强洗钱罪的预防和控制。     

无罪推定原则研究

无罪推定原则作为刑事诉讼中的一个重要原则 ,对于确保被告人在审判中受到公平对待、参与法庭判决制作和保障人权具有重要意义。其思想在我国古代已有体现 ,但真正现代意义的无罪推定原则是近代资产阶级大革命胜利的成果。我国现行法律还没有确立完全意义的无罪推定 ,但吸收了其合理内核。在正确理解无罪推定原则时 ,我们应注意该原则与实事求是、沉默权、传统法律观念和配套法律制度等问题的关系     

The history of women in science a seminar at the University of Regensburg,FRG

We provide here an outline of a course on the role of women in the history of the natural sciences. All students and members of faculty were free to attend. We report our experiences in teaching the courses and some of the literature used. The conclusions we came to on researching this topic are summarised. A combined historical and biographical approach was the most useful. We divided history into epochs in which we examined the cultural political and religious roles of women in society. Then we reported on important women scientists in each period, looking at their autobiographies and summarising, where possible, their scientific contributions. We discussed how the contributions of women scientists are forgotten or suppressed and ways in which the course participants themselves had internalised the ‘androcentric’ view of science. The most important finding for us was that throughout history women scientists were numerous, gifted—and forgotten.     

教育本质探讨思路的探讨

教育本质问题是教育理论研究中的一个疑难症。这一疑难症无法根治的主要原因在于人们把教育本质的探讨分为“教育是什么”和“教育应该是什么”两个问题 ,这样就出现了两大类本质 :一类为真实存在的、客观的东西 ;另一类为应当存在的、带有规范性、价值性的、主观的东西。这两种观点都违背了唯物辩证法关于本质具有客观性的基本原理。教育本质探讨思路不是“教育是什么”和“教育应当是什么”的探讨 ,而是“教育在辩证理性上是什么”的探讨。这种探讨应遵循三个“一”:本质一类(客观的本质 )、方向一致 (先找到列宁讲的初级本质 )、思路一条 (从抽象到具体的辩证法 )。     

"一事不再罚"原则在税务行政处罚中的运用

"一事不再罚"原则是行政处罚的一项重要原则。在我国《行政处罚法》中,"一事不再罚"原则有其特殊的内涵;借鉴 刑法罪数形态理论,可将"同一个税务违法行为"(即"一事")分为五类;不同种类的税务违法行为应适用不同的税务行政处罚;"一 事不再罚"原则适用也有例外。     

新时代统筹推进思想建党与制度治党的价值意蕴和实践路径

统筹推进思想建党与制度治党是新时代党中央管党治党的重要方略,标志着中国共产党对党自身建设规律的认识达到了新高度。思想建党和制度治党是耦合共生、相互统一的辩证关系,二者统筹并进彰显了马克思主义执政党建设的内在要求,是加强党的全面领导的现实要求,更是全面从严治党的必然选择。积极探索二者协同发力的实践路径,始终坚持以人民为中心的价值旨归,遵循实事求是的基本原则,推进思想建党和制度治党融会贯通,将长效监督作为统筹推进思想建党和制度治党的根本保障,对于推进新时代党的建设伟大工程具有重要意义。
