论立案审查程序中的人权保障

刑事案件立案审查阶段公民人权的保障,无论是立法、司法的实践,还是理论研究本身,都没有予以足够的重视。公民在立案审查程序中的人身权利缺乏有效保障的情况比较严重。其深层的原因依然是打击犯罪与保障人权之间的利益冲突。缺乏严格的法律约束的法外审查,一方面实现着诉讼程序难以完成的揭露和证实犯罪的任务,另一方面又极易违背刑事诉讼法保障人权的宗旨,抵消刑事诉讼程序本身所企求实现的部分价值。为此,应当将健全刑事诉讼法制,维护公民诉讼中合法权益的努力延伸到立案前司法机关对案件的审查过程。     

水工程与水权

水工程涉及多种民事权利类型 ,水权只是其中一类。水工程的所有权或者用益权自身不包含、不产生水权 ,水工程用益权与水权各为独立的权利 ,所谓水利工程供水水权概念易生误会 ,应弃之不用。水工程所有权原则上归投资者享有 ,于是有必要承认地方所有权、部门所有权、法人所有权。南水北调涉及水资源所有权、水权、水工程所有权、水工程用益权 ,不可一律归结为水权。     

改革发展中的劳动就业与工会的维权工作

就业是民生之本。改革以来,中国在劳动就业方面取得了突出的成就,初步形成了市场导向的就业机制。受人口增长的历史影响,中国当前和今后长时期将面临严峻的就业挑战。当前中国就业环境的变化特征是:劳动力供求矛盾突出,"强资本弱劳工"格局日趋明显;就业结构性矛盾严重,弱势劳工群体问题凸显;劳动力流动性增强,劳动关系的安全性下降;城镇失业率迅猛上升,社会保障亟待完善。劳动就业方面的这些变化特征要求今后工会工作应以中华全国总工会提出的"积极促进就业,稳定就业岗位,减少失业"为中心,在新的起点上,以新的思路、新的标准、新的要求实现新的突破,更好地维护职工的劳动权益。

对《女职工劳动保护规定》的修改建议

1988年的《女职工劳动保护规定》是符合当时历史条件的,但从目前现实情况看,其适用主体、原则、范围、具体内容、法律救济途径、法律责任等规定都需要重新审视,应当进行全面修改。     

自由·人权·法治——人性的解读

自由是基于人类本性的一种需要 ,而人满足需要的特有方式又决定了“凡是自由 ,皆有限度” ;反映人类共有需要的人权 ,不完全等同于可能包含个人特征的“个人权” ,一国人权的具体内容取决于该国最大限度满足公民需要的客观条件 ;以保护、发展基本人权为核心的现代法治必须以反映人类共性的社会基本伦理为基础。     

关于“唯一指定产品”称号的法律思考

“唯一指定产品”称号已频繁出现于各种广告之中 ,其在社会经济生活中的广泛适用 ,对活跃市场经济具有不可或缺的作用。“唯一指定产品”称号在本质上应属于商誉权 ,国家应适时立法对其进行依法保护。     

评“人权高于主权”

近年来西方某些国家炮制了一种所谓"新干涉主义"理论,并在国际关系中执意加以推行.这一论调的症结在于歪曲了人权与主权的关系,“人权高于主权”不仅与“新干涉主义”相表里,而且是它的核心.文章分析了“新干涉主义”及其“人权高于主权”理论出笼的背景、内涵和实质,指出它标志着霸权主义的新发展.     

The Queen and the `Bolton Seven'

This note examines the case of a group of gay men who, having engaged in consensual sexual acts together, became known as the `Bolton Seven' following their conviction in 1998 for offences of buggery and/or gross indecency. More particularly the note scrutinises the implications of the ages of the participants (one of whom, at 17 , was unable to give lawful consent to sexual intercourse with a man) in the light of the enactment of Part I of the Sex Offenders Act 1997 which introduces a system of compulsory registration by some convicted and cautioned sex offenders with the police (including men convicted of, or cautioned for, buggery or gross indecency). The note explores the justification for inclusion of these offences within the remit of the1997 Act together with the cultural construction of gay men as predatory and as constituting a risk to younger members of society. It also analyses some of the effects of the registration requirement in terms of it constituting a potential violation of fundamental rights such as equality and respect for private life. This discussion is located particularly within the context of the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights and the introduction of the Human Rights Act 1998 in the U.K..

Patricia Williams: Inflecting Critical Race Theory

Critical Race Theory (C.R.T.) has developed out of a deep dissatisfaction that many black legal scholars in the U.S. felt with liberal civil rights discourse, a discourse premised upon the ideals of assimilation, ‘colour-blindness’ and integration. In addition, the emergence of the Critical Legal Studies movement provided Critical Race theorists with an innovative lexicon and practice which allowed them to develop a critique of traditional race analysis and U.S. law. Patricia Williams has played a key role in the formation of the C.R.T. movement and is concerned with many of the C.R.T. themes: the understanding that traditional civil rights law has benefited whites more than blacks, the ‘call to context’, and the critique of liberalism by the assertion that racism is routine and not aberrational. Following the C.R.T. belief that form and substance are connected, Williams has also extended the boundaries of another C.R.T. theme by (largely) eschewing the conventional genre of legal writing in much of her work, including her two books, The Alchemy of Race and Rights and The Rooster's Egg. This was one of the issues Williams discussed in an interview that commenced when she visited Britain in 1997 to deliver the Reith Lectures.
