刑事和解与刑法基本原则的协调性

刑事和解是一种在非刑罚化、被害人保护、犯罪人再社会化等方面均极具创意的新制度。刑法基本原则是我国刑事司法过程中应恪守的重要原则。刑事和解与刑法基本原则关系问题是完善刑事和解所必需的基础性理论。不容否认,刑事和解与刑法基本原则之间存在冲突,然而系统论证之后可以得出二者间存在着协调可能性且协调性占主导地位。

40 YEARS OF CHINESE REFORM AND OPENING UP ALONGSIDE CHINESE CONSTITUTIONAL STUDY

China has a long history of constitutional jurisprudence, bearing different academic missions in different eras. China’s constitutional jurisprudence, characterized by its academic logic and principled nature, has not only facilitated social development and progress but also actively played academic functions during the Chinese reform and opening up. This paper considers the social changes during the last 40 years of the policy’s implementation as the background and, by employing standardized and literature analysis methods, combs the main progress and evolution of the knowledge system during the 40 years of constitutional jurisprudence study, followed by a look into its future.     

中国宪法惯例问题辨析

中国是具有宪法典的国家,而没有所谓的不成文宪法。中国的宪法惯例必须紧紧围绕和依赖宪法规范才能存在和发展,如果主要的宪法规范都无法实施,宪法惯例一说就大为可疑,因为惯例是规范的"润滑剂"而非"溶化剂"。在这个意义上,宪法惯例和政治惯例不可混为一谈。至于中国宪法的实施途径,首要在于宪法的法律化和违宪审查机制的建立,那些零星、有争议的宪法惯例是无法独当宪政建设之重任的。宪法惯例的不恰当泛化,已构成对宪法规范性的直接挑战,因而有必要重申宪法的规范性。总之,寻求对中国宪法实施问题的解释,最紧要的不是去寻找和确认业已存在哪些宪法惯例,而是要去追问和探求是否存在宪法惯例发展的土壤和机制。

The Convention Experience: Between Rhetoric and Participation

Abstract

This article investigates the participation of interest groups in the EU's Constituional Convention and their contribution to the debate on participatory democracy and EU governance. I argue that the constitutional moment prompted interest groups to define their priorities beyond focused policy issues to include wider principles of governance. While the Convention process was more inclusive that any previous treaty reform procedure, its institutional set up was a constraint to improving citizen participation either directly or via interest groups. The Convention reproduced a model of closed elitist politics which did not communicate sufficiently with the citizens, while the role of interest groups was restricted by a Convention designed as a drafting phase in preparation for the real decisive phase during the IGC. Despite the impact of specific domestic contexts, the ‘no’ votes in France and the Netherlands proved that civil society and participation were rhetorical devices deployed during the Convention to gain legitimacy rather than a genuine move towards a more pluralistic EU democracy capable of deploying effective mechanisms of active citizen participation.     

《专属经济区航行与飞越指南》述评

外国在沿海国专属经济区海上和空中进行情报搜集和军事活动成为沿海国的重大关切。《专属经济区航行与飞越指南》就国家之间在专属经济区的权利和义务关系中的一系列重大现实问题设置了一套可供适用的准则。它是建立在《联合国海洋法公约》、国家实践和演进中的"软法"基础上的非拘束性规范。     

论刑法作为宪法的罚则及二者的关系模式

目前关于宪法和刑法关系的表述,是一种基于宪法文本的解读,没有论及当前的法律设计是否合理。宪法是法律世界的统领,为个人权利对抗刑罚权力提供平台,形成对刑法审视,并且贯穿定罪和量刑两大根本领域。具体而言,对宪法秩序的破坏是犯罪行为具有严重社会危害性的指针和标准;只有宪法才能说明刑罚的正当性来源于人民。因此,刑法是宪法的一种罚则,宪法在由精神、原则和规范所组成的框架内指引着刑法的创设和发展。
