Media Freedom and Political Debate in the Digital Era

This article examines the impact of online expression on theories of media freedom. While media freedom has generally been justified instrumentally, the opportunities for expression via the Internet may require greater emphasis on the interests of the individual speaker. Despite this development, this article shows how a small number of speakers will still command a much wider audience and have greater influence over political debate. For such speakers the approach to media freedom devised in the mass media era will remain applicable.     

自我选择与人的自由阈限

选择的实质是自我自由的表现,选择体现着自我的自由,而自我存在则支托着自我自由的选择.因此,客观存在以及自我的责任、信念、诚实、互助表征着自我选择的实存.然而,这种自我选择中的自由并不是无任何阈限的,选择总会受到自我自由度的限制.但是,作为自我的自由权利只能受到限制而从根本上是无法剥夺的,否则,自我存在就成为虚无.自我选择无非就是自我存在的不断充实,它体现了自我存在的人生价值和意义.

State-backed discrimination against Shia Muslims in Malaysia

This article traces the origins of legalized discrimination, religious hatred, and systematic marginalization of a community of Malaysian Muslims – the Shias – perpetuated in the name of Islam. It demonstrates how a central government-derived fatwa (religious legal opinion) banning Shi’ism and the propagation of Shia teachings in the country since 1996 has been used to justify a range of human rights violations, not limited to the religious freedom of this minority group. Apart from Syariah legislation, the state has utilized this fatwa alongside other tools, including the religious bureaucracy and the media, to persecute Shia in Malaysia. Anti-Shia efforts are also supported and propagated by non-state Islamists who often work hand-in-hand with state actors.     

浅谈夫妻约定财产制

婚姻作为男女双方以永久共同生活为目的,自愿缔结的两性关系,在法律上必将产生一定的身份关系和以此为基础的财产关系即夫妻财产关系。夫妻财产制度是《婚姻法》中的一项重要内容。2001年4月28日修正后的《婚姻法》完善了夫妻财产制度,尤其是明确规定了夫妻约定财产制。这是我国婚姻立法一次大的进步,但该法经过几年的实施也暴露出一些缺陷和不足,亟待解决。     

最低消费标准的法经济学分析及规制——以餐饮业为主要分析对象

关于最低消费标准的争议在理论界一直存在。细究之，餐饮业设置最低消费标准有收回成本的合理性基础，一味地采取禁止型规制并不能很好地保护消费者的利益。因此应将重点放在标准的合理设定和消费者的知情权的充分保障上。依此类推。在规制其他行业的最低消费标准时，立法者与司法者也同样应当谨慎对待。     

Civil society and the contemporary threat to religious freedom in Bangladesh

ABSTRACT

Against the international backdrop of rising religious tensions, this article explores contemporary civil society views on religious freedom in Bangladesh. It uses critical frame analysis of the corpus of civil society organizations’ (CSOs) submissions to the United Nations’ third cycle Universal Periodic Review (UPR), 2013–18. It provides a timely assessment of Bangladesh’s fulfilment of international obligations on religious freedom, and shows how the politicization of religion and the resultant conflict between ‘secularism’ and ‘extremism’ have been fuelling inter-communal tensions and religious intolerance. In particular, CSOs’ UPR submissions present powerful accounts of the principal human rights pathology affecting the country today, religious-based violence. This is accompanied by a narrative of police malpractice, judicial failings, discrimination, oppression and incitement. A further key finding is ‘situated knowledge’ or first-hand accounts of legal restrictions and government repression of civil society organizations. Consonant with the classical work of liberal theorists, we argue that unprecedented importance now attaches to safeguarding civil society criticality in order to defend religious freedom and uphold human rights in the Republic.     

我国商法的核心价值:逻辑展开与实践应用

总纲性规范的缺失以及以之为载体的商法核心价值的模糊是我国商事司法实践中法律适用困境的重要原因。为使我国商法理论研究与商事立法、司法等实务活动获得确定的价值指引，有必要对我国商法核心价值的逻辑展开及实践应用进行系统研究。商法的核心价值曾被普遍界定为效率或效益，但基于正本清源，应将其界定为自由，其内容主要表现为强化私法自治与经营自由。商法中自由价值的边界应立足于秩序价值进行界定。在商事立法、监管及审判活动中，应立足于自由与秩序的平衡，使商法核心价值的得到合理应用。

两岸关于旅游合同最新立法例的比较研究——以祖国大陆《旅游法》的制定为中心

以祖国大陆《旅游法》的制定与实施为标志,旅游合同于祖国大陆终于实现了规范化。而将其与1999年我国台湾地区"民法"新增有关旅游合同之法规则进行对比,可发现二者在总的立法体例、主要规制的内容上有很大的相似性,但在缔约双方一些具体权利义务的分配上仍有差异。如祖国大陆《旅游法》所规定的旅行社告知义务内容的明文化、因旅游者原因所产生合同解除权的列举式立法、旅游合同违约无过错责任原则的缓和、惩罚性损害赔偿的引入;我国台湾地区"民法"债编规定的旅行社对旅游者购物瑕疵之协助及处理义务。而这些细微的差别也为两岸旅游合同法的相互借鉴与改进预留了空间。
