The Future Climate Regime: A Regional Comparison of Proposals

This paper compares and clarifies differences revealed in proposals from different regions on a future multilateral climate regime, after the year 2012. More than 100 articles in English were collected, categorized according to the lead authors region, and then reviewed to identify the general tendencies of each region. Proposals on emission allocation rules were the most popular in Europe, while rules related to international emissions trading dominated proposals from the United States. Few articles came from other Annex I countries, but these generally provided only the most basic aspects of a future regime. Meanwhile, concerns for equity and the relevance of any new regime in terms of sustainable development were clear in proposals from non-Annex I countries. Differences among regions were considered to be a reflection of current circumstances in each authors region. The capacity and culture of authors in some regions were considered to be other possible factors in differences. The paper concludes that recognition of regional background that formulate respective preferences and concerns regarding a future climate regime will be important to help reach a multilateral agreement in future official negotiations.     

试论我国刑法关于贿赂犯罪之立法完善——以《联合国反腐败公约》为视角

论战后日本谋求成为“普通国家”的方略

二战结束后,日本为争取成为"普通国家",一直试图修改"和平宪法"第九条,以拥有对外战争的权力,努力删除联合国宪章中的"敌国条款",摘掉"战败国"的帽子,并力图成为联合国安理会常任理事国。但日本能否成为"普通国家",关键在于日本能否反省侵略历史以取得亚洲邻国的信任。     

联合国人道主义干涉的法律思考

20世纪末以来出现了不同于19世纪单方面人道主义干涉的干涉行动,即以安理会为主导的联合国人道主义干涉,其合法性依据主要在于对宪章第39条的合理解释,其在实践中面临的安理会授权难题也可以通过安理会改革的方式获得解决。     

攻击联合国人员和有关人员犯罪的国际法控制

长期以来,国际社会一直致力于通过立法来惩治针对联合国人员和有关人员的恐怖袭击活动。1998年生效的《国际刑事法院罗马规约》将攻击联合国人员和有关人员的罪行纳入法院管辖范围。2003年《安理会第1502号决议》进一步完善了规约的规定,并要求各国也在国内立法惩处这类犯罪。     

THE ROHINGYA CRISIS: WHY THE WORLD MUST ACT DECISIVELY

The dimensions of the crisis generated by the systematic persecution and expulsion of Rohingyas by the Myanmar authorities have been a sustained subject for global debate in these present times. The refusal of the Myanmar government to heed the world's warnings, its obfuscations in the matter of following through on the recommendations of the Annan Commission, and the dogged reluctance of Aung San Suu Kyi, once an ardent advocate of democracy and human rights in her country, to speak up for the Rohingyas have left the international community deeply disappointed. And disturbing too is a report by UN investigators on human rights abuses in Myanmar's Rakhine state. The problem does not look about to be resolved any time soon, with more than 750,000 Rohingyas taking refuge in neighbouring Bangladesh, pushing social dynamics in an already over-populated country to the edge. The fear is that the crisis could fester before getting dangerously out of hand, unless the global community goes for decisive action.     

反腐败的国际立法浅析

腐败是各国国内常见的一种违法现象,本质上属于各国国内管辖的事务。在全球化的背景下,腐败呈现出许多新的特点,反击腐败,单靠一国或几国的力量是无法取得良好的效果的。联合国在近年来积极投身于建立反击腐败的国际合作机制,制定和通过了《联合国反腐败条约》。     

论非政府组织与联合国关系的现状及改革前景

作为一种有别于国家和政府间组织的第三类国际行为体,非政府组织与联合国之间已经建立起紧密的联系机制。非政府组织通过提供咨询、参与联合国会议、执行和监督联合国决策等方式,在联合国体系内发挥着日益重要的作用。但是,非政府组织这一新生的民间组织力量的合法性如何、其影响力应当如何发挥等问题,则引起国际社会的诸多争议。以何种方式将非政府组织纳入联合国改革的框架内,是近些年学术界密切关注的焦点。     

Review and Analysis on UN Security Council＇s Anti- Terrorism History

联合国宪章为安理会采取包括动用武力在内的强制行动打击国际恐怖主义提供了隐含的法律依据,如果国际恐怖主义达到危及国际和平与安全的程度,安理会就可以采取包括动武在内的强制行动介入反恐斗争。事实上,安理会已多次采取强制行动来打击国际恐怖主义。从法理方面分析,安理会可以授权以武力打击国际恐怖主义。打击国际恐怖主义与人权的国际保护并不矛盾;而保护人权,正是反恐的主要目的之一。     

The Watercourses Convention,Hydro-hegemony and Transboundary Water Issues

The 2014 entry into force of the UN Watercourses Convention of 1997 could institutionalise water law globally, thereby countering hydro-hegemonic approaches. However, since the Convention is out of date; has been ratified by only 36, mostly downstream countries; does not require amendments of pre-existing treaties; and has no Conference of the Parties to ensure that it becomes a living treaty, its actual influence in addressing the evolving problems in transboundary river basins remains minimal. Nevertheless, it is not unimaginable that with an appropriate follow-up to this Convention, it could be converted into a living and relevant framework convention in the future.
