WHERE IS THE VILLAGE GOING? MAINTAINING AND INCLUDING CULTURAL STRENGTHS TO PROTECT CHILDREN ORPHANED IN KENYA

This article is the result of a master's thesis about children and their universal right to be included in a family environment. This is not only protected under international law, but also intuitive to human beings. HIV‐AIDS continues to threaten lives of children, particularly in sub‐Saharan Africa in the form of orphaning. Looking at a case study from Kenya, it is revealed that, while legal protection is yet to be fully realized in the state, strong cultural norms of value are alive. Currently, the extended family system is the greatest protection to children orphaned or at risk of being orphaned. However, this system was made invisible in the domestic laws of Kenya under the Children Act 2001. This neglect calls for questions not only regarding the protection cultural norms may offer, according to the best interests of children, but also as to the cultural environment being created with the new law.

收回死刑复核权面临的难题及其破解

It is of great significance for the Supreme Court of China (SCC) to take back the power of having judicial review for death sentences. For that purpose, first, we have to amend the procedures for judicial review for death sentences, including precisely defining the responsibility of the SCC to review death sentences, determining appropriate modes of review, prescribing the time limit of review, allowing the participation of defense lawyers and prosecutors, etc. Second, we must also amend the appellate procedures for capital cases, including holding hearings, comprehensive trial of key cases, and adjusting the time limit for the second instance. Third, we must improve relative systems that can directly affect the trial quality of capital cases, including the improvement of evidentiary rules, the reform of judicial committees, and the forbiddance to change an original sentence into a death sentence.

析我省刑事附带民事执法从宽执行新规定

2007年6月,云南省高级法院、省检察院、省公安厅、省司法厅联合出台的《关于在刑事执法活动中贯彻宽严相济刑事司法政策的实施意见》规定:法院在审理刑事附带民事案件时,被告人行为危害不大,只要积极赔偿被害人,取得被害人谅解的,法院在量刑方面从轻考虑。这一规定,有利于解决法院"执行难"的问题,有利于化解被告人与被害人双方之间的矛盾,起到了法律效果和社会效果的统一。     

论当代中国共产党人的马克思主义观

在当前国际国内全新的历史背景下,中共十七届四中全会提出大力推进马克思主义中国化、时代化、大众化。这既是当代中国共产党人的马克思主义观的集中体现和庄严宣示,也是当前推进马克思主义理论创新的重大任务和根本目标导向。中国特色社会主义理论既是马克思主义中国化、时代化、大众化的理论结晶,又是在新的历史起点上推进马克思主义三化的理论指导。因此,以我们正在做的事情为中心,着眼于马克思主义理论的应用,着眼于对实际问题的理论思考,着眼于新的实践和新的发展,立足中国国情、研究中国问题、反映时代精神、回答时代课题、引领时代潮流,关注大众需求、回应大众关切、解答大众困惑,乃是当代中国共产党人深入推进马克思主义中国化、时代化、大众化的必由之路。     

《刑法》第358条刑罚适用问题探讨

《刑法》第358条的设置为学者诟病。组织卖淫罪的组织性界限不明,但当我们将组织卖淫罪限定在满足场所条件和人员规模条件后,各罪的界限开始清晰。组织卖淫罪的客观行为涵盖了强迫行为。当组织卖淫活动中出现强迫行为时,应以组织卖淫罪认定。本条规定的五项加重情节全部适用于组织卖淫罪,第（二）项至第（五）项适用于强迫卖淫罪。加重情节“强奸后迫使卖淫的”之强奸行为与卖淫行为存在顺承关系。强迫幼女卖淫无需对“幼女”的明知。在认定淫业犯罪时,应放弃对卖淫次数的评价。
