Body scanners versus privacy and data protection

In recent history, the world has experienced dramatic events which have had a substantial effect on the balance between human rights protection and security measures. Body scanners installed at airports are intended to protect our lives. But at the same time they have a serious impact on privacy and data protection. The international legislation allows limiting people’s rights and freedoms, but only if it is in accordance with the law and is proportionate and necessary for national security, public safety and for the protection of the rights and freedoms of others. Do body scanners respect these principles? The article examines the current situation, its background and future prospects. It discusses and analyzes the key terms and legal instruments, problems, disputes and proposed “safeguards”. The work concludes by pointing out the unlawfulness of current regimes and sets forth perspective on the possible solutions.     

公开选拔党政领导干部制度有效性的文献综述

公开选拔党政领导干部制度作为干部人事制度的重要组成部分,其有效性问题值得我们关注,将这一问题分解为"公开选拔制度能做什么"和"公开选拔制度做了什么"问题分别从规范研究和经验研究两个方面,对相关研究进行综述,通过分析,可得出"公开选拔制从应然状态是非常有效的,但是从实然角度来看其作用有限,因此该制度有效性上无法作出定论"的结论。因此,未来研究框架是将应然状态看作是公选制度的收益,将实然状态中的各种因素视作是公选制度的成本,进而通过成本收益的方式来分析公开选拔制度的有效性问题。

Identity crisis: Global challenges of identity protection in a networked world

Modern identity is valuable, multi-functional and complex. Today we typically manage multiple versions of self, made visible in digital trails distributed widely across offline and online spaces. Yet, technology-mediated identity leads us into crisis. Enduring accessibility to greater and growing personal details online, alongside increases in both computing power and data linkage techniques, fuel fears of identity exploitation. Will it be stolen? Who controls it? Are others aggregating or analysing our identities to infer new data about us without our knowledge or consent? New challenges present themselves globally around these fears, as manifested by concerns over massive online data breaches and automated identification technologies, which also highlight the conundrum faced by governments about how to safeguard individuals' interests on the Web while striking a fair balance with wider public interests. This paper reflects upon some of these problems as part of the inter-disciplinary, transatlantic ‘SuperIdentity’ project investigating links between cyber and real-world identifiers. To meet the crisis, we explore the relationship between identity and digitisation from the perspective of policy and law. We conclude that traditional models of identity protection need supplementing with new ways of thinking, including pioneering ‘technical-legal’ initiatives that are sensitive to the different risks that threaten our digital identity integrity. Only by re-conceiving identity dynamically to appreciate the increasing capabilities for connectivity between different aspects of our identity across the cyber and the physical domains, will policy and law be able to keep up with and address the challenges that lie ahead in our progressively networked world.     

Russian PNR system: Data protection issues and global prospects

The usage of Passenger Name Record (PNR) for security purposes is growing worldwide. At least six countries have PNR systems; over thirty are planning to introduce them. On 1 December 2013, a Russian PNR system will be implemented. But enhanced collection of personal data leads to increased surveillance and privacy concerns. Russian authorities state that passengers' rights will be respected, but a closer look at the Russian regime reveals a number of critical points. From a global perspective, the Russian regime is only one of many PNR systems, including new ones to come in the future. Apparently, for the majority of them, similar challenges and problems will apply. At the same time, for the EU, with its strict data protection requirements, PNR requests by third countries (i.e. non-EU countries) create conflicts of laws. In order to resolve them, the EU concludes bilateral PNR agreements. However, the current deals, especially the one between the EU and the USA, involve a number of weaknesses. Accepting the latter, and having a pending proposal on the EU PNR system, the EU has weakened its position in negotiations with third countries. How will the EU deal with the Russian as well as with all the future requests for PNR? This paper provides legal analysis of the Russian PNR regime, pointing out common problems and giving prognosis on the global situation.     

电子数据认证的价值选择与制约机制——以刑事诉讼为视角

在对电子数据的认证中,现代技术因素增强了人们对此类证据的信赖程度,强化了裁判者的内心确认,也导致案件的证明过程中,认为电子数据的证明力一般大于其他传统证据。在诉讼中应避免过于追求电子数据的证明效果,在认证时有必要进行公共性价值衡量,使法律规范与诉讼行为获得合理性契合,保证电子数据在刑事证据领域的有序合法运用,使这种新兴证据种类得以规范和完善。     

司法公信力的缺失及重构——基于典型案例的分析

当前,我国司法公信力不高,仍然存在案结事未了、同案不同判等非正常现象。司法公信力具有信用与信任双重维度。影响我国司法公信力的因素主要包括体制缺陷、司法不独立、同案不同判等。因此,提高我国司法公信力,一方面应紧抓司法公信力的信用与信任双重维度,注重从改革传统法院体制、践行司法为民理念、提高办案效率和完善裁判文书制作,另一方面应规范媒体监督、加大普法教育。
