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 Place for Custody Evaluations in Family Peacemaking

Custody evaluations can serve the dual purpose of providing neutral, objective information to the court while also contributing to the possibility of earlier settlement, which coincides with the therapeutic jurisprudence goal of more positive outcomes for children and families. Research suggests that most cases settle after custody evaluations. However, most of the literature is focused on the use of custody evaluations for litigation. Evaluators, attorneys, and mental health consultants can influence parents to focus more on children's needs and less on their conflict as they go through the evaluation process. This article urges family courts to develop processes and require professionals to learn skills needed for an interdisciplinary process to utilize evaluations in peacemaking.

Key Points for the Family Court Community:
• All custody evaluation processes should aim to reduce and/or shorten children's exposure to parental conflict.
• Evaluators, attorneys, and mental health professional consultants should use the evaluation process to influence parents to be more aware of their children's needs and less invested in their adversarial positions.
• Evaluators should learn to write and orally present information and state opinions with consideration of the parents themselves as consumers of the custody evaluation as well as the court.
• Attorneys and mental health professional consultants should help clients review the report, process their emotional reactions, and consider their options for settlement versus litigation in terms of emotional and financial costs to the family.
• Court processes should be developed to contain the time and cost of custody evaluations and provide dispute resolution after custody evaluations.

     

中日东海争端中自然延伸原则的重要地位——基于权利和划界规则之间关系的视角

在法律适用上,当双方大陆架权利主张不同时,权利界限的划定问题产生的前提是这两个权利主张必须是等价的,相对抗的,并因此导致权利主张重叠。否则,通过大陆架权利制度已经分出权利主张之优先顺序,划界将不成为问题。更没有必要(尽管不妨碍)适用划界规则。中日争端的主要矛盾在于明确权利制度中不同权利主张的法律上的效力而非划界规则的适用。中方的东海大陆架自然延伸到冲绳海槽这一权利主张,无论在法律上还是在事实上都有充分的依据,其重要性应该得到充分的认识。

纠纷解决与和谐社会

和谐社会并不是没有纠纷的社会,而是要从法律的角度把不和谐的纠纷控制在最小的范围内,使社会呈现出稳定而有序的状态。诉讼虽然是现代社会中纠纷解决机制中的最主要的纠纷解决方式,但其并不是唯一的纠纷解决机制。通过诉讼与人民调解等非诉讼纠纷解决机制的科学配置及时的化解社会矛盾是实现和建构和谐社会的关键所在。     

论医患冲突中的权利限制

医患冲突的频繁发生有多种原因,但医患权利内容的混乱、错位以及模糊不清所导致医患权利配置的不平衡、不协调是很大的因素,使得医患双方在权利行使过程中无所适从,从而导致冲突的一再发生。有效地规范医患双方权利,特别是对权利的有效限制,是解决医患冲突的重要手段。     

重构公正行政复议程序制度 保障行政复议公正解决行政争议

反司法化定位下的现行行政复议程序过于简化与内部行政化,欠缺程序公正的基本制度要素,不利于公正解决行政争议。要提升行政复议解决行政争议的有效性,必须开展以提升程序公正性为重心的系列公正程序制度改革,将体现程序公正的基本要素引入行政复议中,在行政复议中确立公正程序的各项基本原则,切实保障申请人的各项程序权利,在此基础上完成正当行政复议程序制度重构,具体包括回避制度、复议案件公开审理制度、言词辩论制度、复议决定说明理由制度等。     

Faster and as Satisfying: An Evaluation of Alaska's Early Resolution Triage Program

The Alaska Court Early Resolution Program (ERP) addresses many issues – self‐representation in divorce and custody cases, triaging to determine the appropriate resolution approach, the importance of early intervention and the desire to use a simplified process and a problem‐solving approach. This article reports on an evaluation of the Anchorage ERP. It found different outcomes for ERP cases that settled than comparable cases that proceeded on the regular trial process track with respect to the following outcomes:

• time to disposition,
• number of staff processing steps and associated completion time, and
• number of motions to modify filed within two years of the disposition.

     

多元化纠纷解决机制探析——兼论我国ADR之构建

多元化纠纷解决机制,是对世界各国普遍存在的、民事诉讼制度以外的非诉讼纠纷解决方式的忌称。其兴起与发展除了来自诉讼的压力及其固有弊端外,一个重要原因是现代社会和当事人在利益、价值观、偏好和各种实际需要方面的多元化,本质上需要多元化的纠纷解决方式,需要有更多的选择权。我国拥有建构多元化纠纷解决机制的深厚的文化传统和大量可利用的资源,但由于市场经济尚未充分发展、法治尚不健全,许多现代型的ADR仍不成熟．因此,我国在借鉴外因ADR经验的同时,更要立足本国国情,构建一个包括协商、调解、仲裁、和解等多种方式组成的多元化纠纷解决机制,使社会通过纠纷的解决回归和谐。     

作为村庄纠纷处理人的乡村混混探析——兼论小戚族的村庄基础

传统的观点认为,有乡村混混介入就是乡村社会灰色化,乡村社会灰色化就是乡村混混或者混混式的行动捣鬼的结果。在对乡村混混作了学术梳理后,通过个案分析表明,乡村混混与乡村社会灰色化并不存在必然对应的关系。重新认识了原子化村民的行动逻辑,并且试图用"小戚族"的概念详细解释有乡村混混介入村庄纠纷事件的处理逻辑,从而指出可能存在乡村混混的"身份"与"角色"之不统一。
