America First? Trump,Crime, and Justice Internationally

ABSTRACT

“America First,” as presented by President Trump, argues for an international strategy that persistently places America’s interests above those of anyone or anything else. Consequently, Trump has reshaped the international perceptions of the United States and has created more difficulties for the U.S. in coordinating of global leaders in resolving complex issues in the world. This essay reflects on how Trump and the United States are viewed internationally, the impacts of Trump’s anti-immigrant and pro-White nationalist rhetoric, Trump’s responses to humanitarian crises around the globe, and the potential impact of Trump’s stance on global climate change. Given these considerations, it is questionable whether “America First” policy has made “America Great Again” in the eyes of the world.     

Two sides of the same coin: can campaigns generate support for both human rights and retributive violence?

ABSTRACT

Do framing strategies that are effective at encouraging pro-social behavior, such as participation in human rights campaigns, also mobilize support for violence within the same subjects? We use an experimental research design to examine individuals’ reactions to personal, humanizing narratives about past victimization. Participants are randomly assigned to one of eight treatment groups, which variously highlighted the humanity of the subject, the intensity of the past violence, and/or an evocative photograph of the subject that underscores her loss and vulnerability. We expect narratives that emphasize the subject’s humanity will encourage the audience to see the subject as innocent and as a victim, but also to feel angry about her experience. As a result, individuals will be more likely to defend the subject’s human rights, and to condone her use of retributive violence. We find that humanizing narratives lead respondents to simultaneously support a human rights appeal on the subject’s behalf and her use of retributive violence. Perceiving the subject in the narrative as innocent or as a victim mediates these effects, but anger often does not.     

浅谈我国公民基本权利的法律保障

公民基本权利是表明权利人在国家生活基本领域中所处的法律地位的权利。宪法对公民的基本权利的确认,从立法上反映了公民在国家生活中的地位,从而体现了国家的本质。要使公民基本权利得到有效保障,既要靠宪法和具体的法律、法规,又要靠增强公民的权利、义务观念,有效遏制违法行为来实现。     

论劳动者安全健康权益的保障

保证生命安全是人的最基本需求。“安全发展”体现了科学发展观“以人为本”的本质特征。目前我国安全生产形势十分严峻,伤亡事故频发、职业危害严重,劳动者安全健康合法权益受到侵害。只有实现安全发展,劳动者的生命安全得到切实保障,社会才能和谐稳定,经济才能持续发展。因此,构建社会主义和谐社会,必须从保障劳动者安全健康切身利益这一现实问题入手。     

论侦查机关的告知义务

刑事追诉机关在初次讯问犯罪嫌疑人或对其羁押时,应当告知其享有的诉讼权利.这是受刑事追究者获得告知的权利,也是刑事追诉机关的告知义务.现代人权保障制度的发展,不仅要求侦查、检察机关履行告知义务,而且应当依法允许犯罪嫌疑人行使其诉讼权利,并为其权利的实现提供保障.以侦查阶段的初次讯问为对象,对告知义务进行考查,比较美英加法德等国以及我国台湾刑事诉讼法对初次讯问时的告知义务的规定,剖析我国相关法律规定的问题所在,进而对完善我国侦查阶段初次讯问时的告知义务提出了建议.     

从《治安管理处罚法》的出台管窥我国的法治进程

《治安管理处罚法》的出台是我国治安管理领域的一次重要变革,它所反映出的对公民人权的保障,对警察权力的规范和制约以及对程序法制的重视,无疑是我国法治文明的巨大进步。但是它自身立法模式的相对滞后以及一些具体内容在理论界所引起的争论,也反映出我国的法治进程还有很长的路要走。     

论警察在执法过程中的权益保护

在执法过程中经常发生警察权益受侵害的情况,为了维护警察的合法权益,应进一步建立健全法律法规、设立专门的警察权益保障机构。同时,警察执法要配备非杀伤性的控制性警械,要增强自我维权意识。     

Forced Migration Studies: Could We Agree Just to 'Date'?

This essay questions the soundness of a scholarly shift awayfrom ‘refugee studies’ in favour of ‘forcedmigration studies’. It contends, first, that subsumingrefugee studies into the broader framework of forced migrationstudies may result in a failure to take account of the specificityof the refugee's circumstances which are defined not just bymovement to avoid the risk of harm, but by underlying socialdisfranchisement coupled with the unqualified ability of theinternational community to respond to their needs. Second, itargues that forced ‘migration’ (rather than, forexample, forced ‘migrant’) studies encourages afocus on a phenomenon rather than on the personal predicaments,needs, challenges, and rights of refugees themselves. It maythus contribute to a lack of criticality in relation to policieswhich subordinate refugee autonomy to the pursuit of more systemicconcerns. The first concern is illustrated by reference to theemergence of the ‘internally displaced persons’category, the second by reference to the determination to findand mandate ‘durable solutions’ to forced migration,including to the movement of refugees.     

酷刑性质探析

从联合国《禁止酷刑和其他残忍、不人道或有辱人格的待遇或处罚公约》中的酷刑定义入手,对酷刑的性质进行了深入挖掘,得出了三点结论,即酷刑是一种严重侵犯人权的行为、酷刑是一种滥用国家权力的行为、现代酷刑是一种犯罪。作者希望通过对酷刑性质的挖掘,加深对酷刑行为的理解,促进反酷刑目的的实现。     

论地役权对物权法定原则之补充

物权法定原则是物权法制度中的一项重要原则,主要是指物权的种类和内容由法律直接规定,当事人不能自由创设,也不能变更.这一原则在很大程度上限制了当事人在土地利用中的协议自由.地役权的客体范围广泛,权利内容也不确定,为当事人灵活协议、更好地进行土地资源利用提供了空间,对物权法定原则起到很好的补充作用.随着物之利用形式的不断变化和创新,地役权的优越性已日益体现.
