对我国地方立法中职务犯罪预防措施的评价——以《联合国反腐败公约》为视角

《联合国反腐败公约》在强调打击腐败犯罪的同时，更强调对腐败犯罪实施综合预防战略。《公约》设立专章，对预防腐败措施作了系统的规定。目前，我国尚无预防腐败措施方面的中央级专门立法，但是，许多省、自治区、直辖市和较大市都进行了预防职务犯罪的地方立法。以《公约》为参照，借鉴国际经验，检视我国地方立法中职务犯罪预防措施，有利于促进我国预防腐败的制度建设和工作机制的进一步完善。     

Evaluating population structure of Ecuador for forensic STR markers

The continuous admixture events among Europeans, Native Americans, and Africans occurred differently throughout the Ecuadorian territory, creating a diversified genetic composition. Therefore, to evaluate how the genetic diversity is partitioned along the country for 15 STRs, 842 admixed-population samples were analyzed. We also evaluated the effect of applying an adjustment for population structure when estimating LRs using a national database. The results showed that to accurately assess forensic evidence, the use of a national database may be justified with the application of an appropriate adjustment for population structure.     

《烟草控制框架公约》第11条对我国烟草制品包装的影响及对策研究

《烟草控制框架公约》是在世界卫生组织主持下通过的第一份国际条约,第11条对烟草制品包装和标签作出详尽而严格的规定.为了履行公约义务,我国对现有相关立法进行调整和完善,通过制定《境内卷烟包装标识的规定》等国内法,总体达到《公约》的要求.我国烟草行业要将“做精做强”作为应对《公约》的最根本的措施,积极应对挑战,在挑战中求发展.     

论著作人格权保护在美国的演绎

著作人格权作为一种非财产性权利,是作者享有的基于作品产生的人格利益.著作人格权制度是版权体系和作者权体系的分水岭所在.现行美国《版权法》第106条之2保护“某些作者的署名权及其保护作品完整权”,可是美国真的保护著作人格权吗？最初,美国延续版权体系的传统,无论是在版权法案中还是在司法实践中都不保护著作人格权制度.直到1988年,美国加入《伯尔尼公约》后,为了履行公约义务不得不在其版权法案中加入著作人格权的保护条款,但在司法实践中,美国仍遵循版权是财产权的理念,通过对作者和作品范围严格限定并未真正保护著作人格权.     

INTERNATIONAL PARENTAL CHILD ABDUCTION: WHY WE NEED TO EXPAND CUSTODY RIGHTS PROTECTED UNDER THE CHILD ABDUCTION CONVENTION

The Child Abduction Convention, an international treaty, protects custody rights internationally among its member states by providing a remedy of return in cases where a child was wrongfully removed in violation of a parent's custody right. There is no such remedy for the violation of a parent's access (or visitation) rights. A ne exeat clause in a child custody agreement restrains a custodial parent from removing a child from a predetermined jurisdiction (such as a particular country) and can be issued when there is a risk that the custodial parent might flee to another country with the child(ren). Currently there is a circuit split within the United States as to whether a ne exeat right coupled with the right of access should equal a protected custody right under the Convention. Most international courts protect the ne exeat right under the Convention; however some do not. A ne exeat right should convey a protected custody right for policy reasons. The beneficial implications of a ne exeat right creating a protected custody right under the Child Abduction Convention clearly outweigh the detriments. While there is no instant solution to the inconsistencies among various courts in interpreting the Child Abduction Conventions’ scope in regard to a ne exeat right, there are ways to resolve the problem. If consistency in judicial interpretation cannot be achieved, a movement needs to be initiated to create a protocol to the Child Abduction Convention to further explain the scope of custody rights and ne exeat rights under the Convention.     

两岸三地间航空运输法律性质分析

我国现已加入<华沙公约>、<海牙议定书>以及<蒙特利尔公约>三大国际航空公约,并且对港澳台地区适用上述公约作出了特殊声明.<蒙特利尔公约>是对<华沙公约>体系下的航空法律制度的大变革.大陆地区与港澳台地区间的航空运输的性质决定了其法律适用的范围.因而,确定两岸三地间航空运输的法律性质就显得尤为重要.     

Ballistic fingerprinting databases

This article discusses a number of questions regarding the setting up of ballistic fingerprinting databases, consisting of ammunition components fired by all the firearms held in legal possession. These questions can be classified into three categories--the efficiency of the database, forensic issues, and practical issues to be dealt with. The current New York State legislation is used as an illustration of the choices to be made when setting up a ballistic fingerprinting database. Three important arguments are formulated against the installation of a ballistic fingerprinting database.     

《联合国反腐败公约》与刑事诉讼法再修改

《联合国反腐败公约》是联合国反腐败领域的第一个重要公约,加入和实施该公约对于我国的刑事司法改革和反腐败斗争必将产生深远影响。该公约的基本精神是“强化严惩犯罪的力度,保障正当程序的底线”。我们应当以此次刑事诉讼法再修改为契机,适时调整我国的刑事司法制度,与公约的要求相适应,以使我国的刑事诉讼法更趋于合理和科学。     

The Enjoyment of Rights and Freedoms: A New Conception of the 'Ambit' under Article 14 ECHR

Article 14 of the European Convention on Human Rights, as applied by the UK judiciary under the Human Rights Act 1998, is in danger of becoming as 'parasitic' as it is often described. Judges have inappropriately narrowed the scope of the 'ambit' of other Convention articles, and thus limited the number of claims to which Article 14 can apply, by defining it according to considerations more properly weighed in a justification analysis incorporating proportionality. The emerging approach departs from Strasbourg jurisprudence, and fails to give full effect to the language and intent of Article 14. This trend need not continue. This article begins the process of fashioning a new conception of the ambit of Convention articles: one that could change the fortunes of Article 14 cases in the UK, but that flows naturally from the precedents of the European Court of Human Rights, and gives effect to the spirit of the HRA.
