保障精神和智力障碍人的生命与尊严

与近年残疾人事业在一些领域所取得的巨大进步相比，目前我国精神和智力障碍人的人权保障仍面临着十分严重的挑战。精神和智力障碍人与其他人一样，享有生命、自由与尊严。评价一个社会文明和进步的标志不是社会中的强者享有怎样的待遇，而是社会中的弱者得到什么样的照顾和帮助。精神和智力障碍人作为社会中的最弱者，其人权保障水平在一定程度上是一个社会文明和进步的标尺。要通过一切形式的人权教育，提高政府和整个社会对精神和智力障碍人的尊重，认识到精神和智力障碍人与其他人一样是人权的主体，与其他人一样享有生命、自由和尊严。     

Developing a Model Intervention to Prevent Abuse in Relationships Among Caribbean and Caribbean-American Youth by Partnering with Schools

SUMMARY

This paper proposes a model intervention to prevent relationship abuse among Caribbean and Caribbean-American adolescents. Specifically, the model partners with a high school with a strong Caribbean student population and incorporates education, prevention and intervention, as the three core components. This paper highlights the importance of working with young people in a school setting, working with young people before they have fully tackled the developmental task of defining norms of and values in relationships, utilizing culturally competent staff and specialized programming, and emphasizing the need for early intervention in the instances of adolescent relationship violence before its evolution into adult domestic violence. The model proposed serves as an outline for further development of culturally-specific and competent interventions to prevent and address relationship violence among adolescents.     

Trafficking in persons in Australia: myths and realities

In Australia, despite greater public awareness and acknowledgement of the problem by government agencies, trafficking in persons remains a phenomenon poorly understood and researched. The true extent of Australia's human trafficking problem is not fully known, largely due to the clandestine nature of this phenomenon. Anecdotal evidence, media reports, and statistical estimates without proper evidentiary bases are the only sources of information currently available about trafficking in persons in Australia. This article produces a more accurate assessment of the scale of trafficking in persons in the light of the open source evidence, thus contributing to the understanding of the immediate problem, and paving the way for further research on the many facets and aspects associated with trafficking in persons in Australia and elsewhere. The article calls for further research into trafficking and greater openness from relevant stakeholders, in order to clarify the facts about trafficking in Australia, and to help to dispel the myths and misconceptions that abound in discussing this issue.     

Autonomy of Art or the Dignity of the Artwork

Abstract

In this essay I want to show that while the concept of autonomy can hardly make a meaningful contribution to the understanding of contemporary artworks, the concept of the dignity of artwork can make such a contribution.

论服刑人员回归保护的基本要件

服刑人员回归社会是一个必然性的问题。服刑人员回归社会的适应能力的强弱，将直接或间接地影响到社会的安全与稳定、影响到社会主义和谐社会的构建。因此，认真分析当前服刑回归人员在社会上的主要问题，找准服刑回归人员影响社会稳定与社会不和谐的原因、进一步探讨服刑人员回归社会保护所应具备的基本要件、在理论与实践上探索培养服刑人员回归社会适应能力的途径与方法，会有效预防重新犯罪、促进社会和谐发展。     

港澳特区间《关于移交被判刑人的安排》之考察与启示

香港特别行政区政府与澳门特别行政区于2005年5月20日签订《关于移交被判刑人的安排》。该安排立法根据明确,具备坚实的现实基础,符合司法实践的要求,且突破了过去区际刑事司法协助的范围,将我国区际刑事司法协助从狭义的层面推进到了广义的层面。从内容上看,该安排比较全面地确立了区际被判刑人移交的基本规则,较为充分地体现了互相尊重司法权和刑事管辖权的精神,对于大陆与港澳特区乃至台湾地区开展区际被判刑人移交的刑事司法协助活动具有很强的示范意义。     

见义勇为立法比较研究

对古犹太法、英美法、大陆法系主要国家、社会主义国家、中国的见义勇为立法进行比较研究,得出不同法域的见义勇为立法涵盖范围不同、立法重心不同的结论.阐述上述差异的原因,评价道德法律化运动对见义勇为立法的影响,研究中国的见义勇为立法人性标准设定过高与警力不足问题的关联以及见义勇为立法实效问题.     

从《残疾人权利公约》反思国际人权机制

2007年3月起开放签字的《残疾人权利公约》是联合国体系在保护人权领域的最新努力。与以往的多数人权条约一样,《残疾人权利公约》列举了具体权利、构划了报告体制,同时通过任择议定书设计建立一套来文制度。这意味着在国际人权法上又添加了一套体制。虽然从权利保护发展本身看,这一公约的出现丰富了联合国体系的人权保护内容,但是从国际法治的理念上看,它是国际法不成体系的特征的继续与延伸,本质上不仅无益于国际法治的完善,而且有可能进一步提高国际法维护人权各个环节的成本。现阶段有必要考虑将包括人权、环境等领域的规范进行编纂,将相应机构进行整合,以推进国际法治的目标。     

The German Civil Code of 1896: An Economic Interpretation

The 19th century has seen some large codifications, several of which such as the Code de Napoleon of 1804 and the German Civil Code of 1900 have shown remarkable longevity. This article deals with the economists' influence on the German Civil Code of 1900. It is argued that the economists played an important role in re-shaping the Code, that this was even a concerted effort, and that Otto von Gierke's legal doctrine proved to be particularly viable for the introduction of economic ideas into legal reasoning.
