文莱华人现状分析

文莱现有华人3.76万,集中在城镇居住,是文莱城市化水平最高的族群.在"马来、回教、君主"政治制度框架下,华人的公民权受限制,加入其国籍非常难,没有政治诉求的机会;在经济领域里马来人优先,但华人有较大发展空间;在社会生活领域,华人可组建社团,参与公众活动,政府允许华文教育生存发展;华人宗教信仰自由,可维持华人意识和华族认同,但必须效忠苏丹;华人和马来人能和睦相处,没有种族纠纷.

国际法的起源和新发展

国际法是有关国家之间的法律,它源远流长,但直到17世纪主权国家的产生,国际法才得以正名并名副其实地出现在国际舞台上,并随着国际社会的发展而丰富和充实,对维护世界和平,调节国家民族之间矛盾,促进世界发展起着积极的作用。然而国际法也有它天生的瑕疵,不仅国际法林林总总不可能十全十美,而且对违法者(特别是大国)其约束力也是很有限的。

“附加程序”的法律评析:从WTO石棉案开始

"附加程序"是WTO争端解决制度采信"法庭之友"提交的陈述的证据规则,其产生根源在于对"法庭之友"制度的引入与控制的制度根源、上诉机构"造法"权力的扩张与自制的权力根源和贸易自由化与环境保护的价值困境所造成的价值根源。同时,推进、制衡和增加透明度是"附加程序"三项尤为重要的法律功能。"附加程序"说明法律程序的合理与完善是争端解决和价值权衡的一种新的路径,在带来启发的同时它还引发了一些问题值得进行继续关注和研究。     

External Intervention in Ethnic Conflict

Recently, ethnicity has received greater attention from international conflict scholars. This study explores a new aspect of how ethnic composition of states and the power of ethnic kin affect external state interventions in ethnic conflicts. Here it is hypothesized that states with dominant ethnic groups but still-significant ethnic minorities are expected to be more prone to intervention in ethnic conflict than states without one of these two characteristics. A new measure is proposed to capture such variation in ethnic composition more precisely. Looking at large-N panel data, it is found that ethnically fractionalized states with dominant ethnic groups are indeed the most likely to intervene in ethnic conflicts. Additionally, the power of the embattled ethnic kin minority, as determined by its settlement patterns in the host state, also increases the likelihood of intervention. Traditional variables like proximity and capability retain statistical significance. However, ethnic variables have the strongest effects on interventions in ethnic conflict.     

Mentally ill offenders eligible for diversion at local court in New South Wales (NSW), Australia: factors associated with initially successful diversion

Diversion away from the criminal justice system and into mental health treatment services is a key strategy for addressing the well-established burden of mental illness suffered by those presenting to court. While mental health courts, court liaison and court diversion services have been developed in many jurisdictions internationally, there is limited research evidence to support their effectiveness in identifying those with mental health need and achieving successful diversion. The Statewide Community and Court Liaison Service in New South Wales, Australia, identifies mentally ill offenders likely to meet legal eligibility criteria for diversion at the busiest local courts across the state. Utilising data collected by mental health clinicians working in the service, 8317 individuals were identified as being eligible for court diversion on at least one occasion during the study period (1 July 2008 and the 30 June 2015) and 57.3% were subsequently diverted by Magistrates. Successful diversion at this first step was associated with being female, older, of non-Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander background, and having a serious mental illness, replicated when stratified by sex and by Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander background. There may be barriers to mental health diversion at court for individuals with particular socio-demographic characteristics which future service developments may need to take into account.
