物权冲突法中的意思自治与第三人利益保护——兼评《涉外民事关系法律适用法》第三十七条、第三十八条

物权法在本质上属于强行法的范畴,但在某些方面呈现出一定程度的任意法性质,涉外物权的法律适用亦可在一定范围内适用意思自治原则。但基于物权的绝对权、对世权性质,涉外物权法律关系在适用意思自治原则时应同时注意对第三人利益的保护,从而维护正常的市场交易秩序。我国《涉外民事关系法律适用法》应作出相应的完善,在规定意思自治原则的同时应关注第三人利益保护。     

返还原物请求权适用诉讼时效问题探究

返还原物请求权作为物权请求权的一种重要类型应否适用诉讼时效制度,学界看法并不统一,立法也未予以明确,司法实践中对同类型案件的处理结果也不尽一致,世界其他国家和地区的做法,对我国相关立法的完善提供了借鉴。     

公诉案件刑事和解制度再考察

刑事和解制度是一项发源于我国本土,有效解决社会矛盾,提高刑事司法效率的刑事案件解决方案。其在坚持国家追诉这一原则的基础上,兼顾被害人、犯罪人和国家三方利益,使被害人在刑事诉讼中的利益得到最大程度的保障,保证了刑事案件处理的结果实质公平。若要全面把握新刑诉法关于公诉案件刑事和解制度的规定,应从公诉案件刑事和解的范围、条件、主体以及刑事和解对刑事案件最终处理结果的影响等四个方面入手。     

发展与嬗变:中国刑事诉讼法治化40年

我国1979年通过的《刑事诉讼法》在经历了1996年、2012年和2018年三次重大修订后,逐步进入法治化、民主化、科学化轨道,成为中国特色社会主义法律体系中的重要组成部分。回顾我国刑事诉讼法治化的全程,健全与完善人权保障制度、建立多元诉讼程序体系、实现程序正义是其主线。其间,刑事诉讼程序法治化伴随着我国改革开放的进程,并逐渐实现了立法设计与司法改革、立足国情与借鉴域外、经验主义与理性主义的融合。     

Promoting the Modernization of China’s Governance System and Capacity in Line with the Rule of Law

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) held in 2012, XI Jinping, General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee, has made a series of vital expositions on the promotion of modernization of the national governance system and capacity in line with the rule of law. The law is the most important tool for governing a country, and the rule of law supports the national governance process and capacity. Promoting the rule of law on all fronts is an essential requirement for developing socialism with Chinese characteristics and promoting the modernization of the national governance system and capacity. Comprehensive law-based governance in all areas should be promoted to advance the modernization of national governance. Furthermore, law-based thinking and methods should be used to address difficulties and challenges faced in this modernization process.     

Criminal Justice Statistics—An Evolution

The origins of the Bureau of Justice Statistics and criminal justice statistics in general go back 150 years, but the U.S. President's Commission on Law Enforcement and Administration of Justice in 1967, along with subsequent panels and commissions, added urgency and specificity to the work to be done to improve our understanding of the operation of the criminal justice system and of crime. Criminal justice statistics have the potential to be used to shape and evaluate specific policies and programs when the statistics are timely, accurate, and relevant to the decisions being made for policy formulation or evaluation. The full development of effective criminal justice statistics on crime and the administration of the justice system can provide for informed decision making and more insightful resource allocation. In this article, I summarize the historical progressions and evolution of criminal justice statistics in light of the changes affecting the justice environment and propose future work.

Should Law track Morality?

Does the moral status of an action provide in itself a non-instrumental, pro-tanto reason for a corresponding legal status—a reason that applies regardless of whether the law promotes a value that is independent of the law, such as preventing wrongdoing or promoting utility or distributive or retributive justice, regardless of the consequences of doing so? While the relation between morality and law is a familiar topic, this specific question is rarely discussed explicitly. Yet it seems to be controversial. The article highlights and considers this question, while focusing on the criminal law. It concludes that the answer is negative—there is no necessary relation between morality and law in this respect. Rather, there is a reason in favor of incorporating morality into the law only when this incorporation promotes a moral value that is independent of the law.     

论人权和刑事司法的关系

人权是人基于自然属性和社会属性而产生的所有人共同的需求,人权是一种由法律、习惯所确认的社会关系。国家是保障人权的主体和责任者,人权在不同的时代、不同的社会中有所不同,但基本人权应当得到保障。刑事司法权利不仅保护犯罪嫌疑人和被告人,而且对国家、社会和每个人都有保障作用。人权和刑事司法国际准则是有紧密联系的两个要领,文章对刑事司法国际准则的适用性等问题进行了开拓性研究     

论量刑建议权的行使与强化刑事审判监督

量刑建议权是检察机关公诉权的重要组成部分,是检察机关公诉部门在公诉工作中行使公诉职能的特定方式,也是强化刑事审判监督、规范审判机关量刑活动的有力、有效途径。量刑建议制度的建立与完善,量刑建议权的正确、有效行使,不仅将促使审判机关量刑活动的规范化,一定程度上提高司法裁判的稳定性,而且也将促使检察机关自身在行使公诉职权时提高办案质量,在检、法的相互制约中实现司法公正。量刑建议制度的建立与量刑建议权的履行,为检察机关和审判机关提供了一个刑事审判中针对量刑活动博弈论辩的平台。
