强化政协民主监督职能的理性思考

民主监督职能薄弱,是人民政协事业的焦点问题之一。本文从政协民主监督的内涵出发,对政协民主监督的优势和限度进行了法理辨析,阐述了加强政协民主监督的重要意义,提出了当前强化民主监督的措施:通过对法律、政策和机制的改进与完善,优化民主监督环境;通过开展对执政党的监督、开展不可行性论证、发挥政协组织化作用以及加强与其他监督形式的整合,激发政协民主监督职能的活力。     

罢工权入宪的正当性分析

2008年以来,罢工现象凸显。这就使得立足现实,系统的探讨罢工权是否应该入宪成为一个紧迫的话题。我国宪法对罢工权并无明确规定,但是在现行体制下,不管是从法的角度还是看现实中的处理,罢工权在我国也有一定的正当性的根据。但是,罢工权成为宪法基本权利仍有其特殊意义。在我国罢工权入宪不存在理论上和现实的阻碍和冲突,罢工权入宪不仅正当而且可行。因此,为更好的应对可能越来越多的罢工现象,应当将罢工权写入宪法,以便立法更好的调整其中涉及的各种关系。     

论用人单位内部劳动规章内容的合法性

用人单位内部劳动规章具有法律效力的要件之一是内容合法。内部劳动规章内容的合法性意味着内部劳动规章不得违反劳动法强制性规范,不得侵犯劳动者作为公民的基本权利,不得违反劳动合同和集体合同。     

试论弗·道格拉斯的女权思想

弗·道格拉斯不仅是19世纪美国黑人的著名领袖,也是美国女权运动的先驱者之一。他以美国《独立宣言》所宣称的人人生而平等和代议制政府原则为基础,把黑人解放和妇女解放思想巧妙地结合起来,变成有机的整体。但是,道格拉斯首先是一位黑人领袖,他在两者不能兼顾的时候,总是优先考虑黑人的解放问题,这就注定了他的女权思想的局限性,与女权运动领导人的关系也不可能一帆风顺,而是既有冲突,也有合作。     

尊重主权保护人权--透过国际关系看主权与人权

人权是人类社会发展到较高级阶段,人类自我意识提高的必然产物,"人权"概念的出现和人权的发展都离不开国家主权,主权原则既是人权国内管辖和国际保护的依据,又是人权领域开展国际合作的基本条件,主权是人权保护的基础.     

National Security, Terrorism and Constitutional Balance

The 'war on terrorism' engages all the institutions of the state. A constitutional structure devoted to protection of liberty must place a paramount value on separation of powers, and a parliamentary democratic constitution should ensure that the ultimate locus of responsibility rests in the legislature, the only branch which has a direct connection to the citizens. However, in an ironic reversal of practice that prevailed before the coming of mass democracy, Parliament in the UK since the early twentieth century has largely accepted a supine role compared to the executive in matters of 'national security'. The judiciary, despite the enactment of legally enforceable human rights, has also manifestly failed to exercise its proper function of curbing abuses of state power. The result is an over-mighty executive, able to draw upon the deference of other branches of government in prosecuting the 'war on terrorism' on the battlefield and in the statute book, which has trampled on individual rights with virtually no check or counte-balance. Some principles by which the balance might be restored are suggested.     

关于改善公安执法环境的思考

公安执法环境是公安机关行使权力、履行职责的社会土壤,执法环境的优劣直接影响着公安机关的工作成效。我们在对一线民警的执法环境进行调研的基础上分析了影响公安执法环境的现实因素,并就如何改善公安执法环境和加强民警执法保障提出一些建议。     

论警察权行使与人权保障的关系

警察权与人权有着密切的关系 ,即警察权是普遍人权得以保障的前提 ,警察权是对部分人权的限制 ,警察权要受到人权的制约。警察权行使与人权保障存在冲突 ,表现为警察权侵犯人权 ,警察权的行使遇到阻碍。因此要协调好警察权行使与人权保障的关系 ,可以从以下几个方面去考虑 :即加强对警察权行使的监督 ;加强正面宣传 ,使公众理解、配合和支持警务工作 ;加强对公众的法制教育 ,提高公众的守法意识 ;提高警察队伍素质和警察执法水平 ;各级党委和政府应明确警察的职责     

论公民的劳动权

劳动权是国际人权公约确定的基本人权之一 ,是我国法律保护的公民的基本权利。明确国际公约和我国法律中劳动权的内涵 ,是保护公民享有这一国际普遍确认的人权的基础。     

Death and injury caused by land mines in Burma

One hundred and eighty-eight Burmese refugees in Thailand were interviewed. One hundred and five of those interviewed had knowledge of a total of 313 persons who had been exposed to land mine explosions. Twenty-three of the interviewed were land mine survivors. They were all male, aged between eight and 68 years, and all except one had been injured between 1986 and 1997. Fifteen of the 23 were civilians, eight were guerilla soldiers who were injured either in battle or while deploying or disarming land mines. Those who had stepped on land mines were all crus or femur amputated and had several scars on the lower limbs, abdomen and some also on the forearms. Those who had handled a land mine had lost either fingers or hands and one also lost both eyes. This study shows that the frequency of land mine accidents in Burma has been underestimated and that the mortality is high. The study also supports the general impression that many victims are civilians.
