Justice,Fairness, and World Ownership

It is a central tenet of most contemporarytheories of justice that the badly-off have aright to some of the resources of the well-off.In this paper, I take as my starting point twoprinciples of justice, to wit, the principle ofsufficiency, whereby individuals have a rightto the material resources they need in order tolead a decent life, and the principle ofautonomy, whereby once everybody has such alife, individuals should be allowed to pursuetheir conception of the good, and to enjoy thefruits of their labour in pursuit of suchconception. I also endorse the value offairness, whereby the right person orinstitution makes the decision as to whether tobring about justice.I show that justice and fairness can besatisfied only if we all enjoy a combination ofprivate and collective rights over the world.In making that case, I shall argue that the setof ownership rights I advocate differs fromreadily available conceptions of restrictedprivate ownership in two important respects.First, it is such that in some circumstances,two individuals or more can have control rightsover the same property at the same time, not,as is standardly the case in legal systems, bycontracting with one another (through gifts andjoint purchase), but simply on grounds ofjustice. Second, it allows that, if necessary,property-owners be expropriated from theirproperty without compensation.     

论所有权的限制

所有权是一种最为完备、最为充分的物权,所有权制度是物权制度的核心。但任何一项权利都不 是绝对的,所有权也应受到一定的限制。从所有权限制的背景考察和法理基础出发,阐释所有权 应受限制之理由,并对我国所有权限制之状况进行了总结,并指出对所有权的限制与法律规定所 有权制度的目的是一致的,设定所有权的目的是为了解决资源的有限性和人的欲望的无限性引 起的人与人之间对物关系的紧张性,那么对所有权进行限制同样离不开这一目的。     

The Frontiers of Legal Analysis: Reframing the Transition in Northern Ireland

British constitutional legal discourse is structurally limited in its capacity to capture the complexity of the Good Friday Agreement. Rather than assessing the Agreement in narrow devolutionary terms, it should be seen as a hybrid domestic and international law instrument, making an important contribution to accepted international law norms in relation to self-determination. The Agreement transforms and partly transcends the Northern Ireland conflict by substituting political contestation for violent conflict, and by defining the modalities of conducting that contestation. This analysis complements classical international law perspectives, and opens up the application of legal discourses associated with 'transitional justice' to the legal and political transformation in Northern Ireland. These discourses focus on the problem of reconciling the demands of peace with the imperatives of justice. The Agreement sits squarely in this terrain with its provisions on 'dealing with the past' and 'institutional legacies'. The insights gained here challenge orthodox thinking about conflict-management and the ongoing political process.     

民族民间传统文化保护的法哲学考察——以知识产权基本理论为研究范式

《乌苏里船歌》案被认为是中国司法部门就民族民间传统文化保护诉讼进行审理的代表性案件。该案件虽然早已有了明确的结论 ,但它对我国民族民间传统文化保护的价值取向、研究进路、模式选择等仍在产生着深刻的影响 ,因此引起了知识产权理论界的关注。虽然既有的知识产权基本理论范式能够对民族民间传统文化保护的正当性提供一定程度的证明 ,但运用各种传统理论论证民族民间传统文化保护的正当性还存在着诸多的困境。“权利弱化与利益分享理论”则为建构民族民间传统文化的知识产权保护体系提供了新的理论基石。

民事行为能力制度的反思与重构

有关民事行为能力制度,我国采取德国法的三级制,除此种立法例之外,还有日本、法国民法所采用的两级制。三级制的立法存在种种缺陷:不能给予民事行为能力欠缺者合理的保护;缺乏对这一群体意思自治的尊重;阻碍了法律行为的生效和交易效率。因此,建议我国民法典采用日本、法国的两级制,并完善相关的配套制度。

作为对《城市生活无着的流浪乞讨人员救助管理办法》的反思,在对制度本身的功能定位基础上,以"流浪乞讨人员获得救助权"为视角展开分析,其结论是制度的完善应围绕获得救助权的保障和实现加以架构,合理界定权利主体和救助条件,明确救助机构的职责和权限,实行分类救助和先行救助,完善权利救济制度。

解读“国家尊重和保障人权”——析宪法修改对刑事诉讼法再修改的影响

修改后的宪法确立了“国家尊重和保障人权”原则。从修宪的背景、修宪的精神以及立法机关的解释可以解读出 ,该原则强调人权的个体性、非工具性和非功利性。我国现行刑事诉讼法的目的具有极强的功利性 ,对权利保障的规定具有浓厚的工具色彩。因此 ,刑事诉讼法再修改时 ,应当以修宪所确立的人权保障内涵和要求为检视标准 ,重新界定刑事诉讼法的目的 ,确立或修改相关的诉讼原则、制度和规则。
