WTO争端解决机制的证明责任分配规则研究

GATT时期,专家组曾明确指出,＂援引例外的缔约方应对其满足例外所有条件承担证明责任＂,另外从一些专家组报告中还可以推断出＂申诉方对被诉方违反GATT的事实负证明责任＂。WTO成立后,＂申诉方承担被诉方违反WTO规则的证明责任＂以及＂被诉方对例外或者肯定性抗辩负证明责任＂成为专家组和上诉机构分配证明责任的一般规则。但是＂申诉方承担被诉方违反WTO规则的证明责任＂有可能被滥用,例外条款的辨别也存在难度。＂主张事实的一方应提供证明＂以及＂当事方应合作提供证据＂作为证明责任分配的特殊规则,可以在一定程度上解决上述一般规则的问题。     

群体性劳动争议解决机制研究

随着改革开放的不断深入和我国市场经济的快速发展,日益增多的集体劳动争议、群体性劳资纠纷使当下我国劳动纠纷案件成为了热点,主要表现在集体性讨要拖欠工资、双倍工资、经济补偿金以及要求补缴社保等领域,如果没有一个有效的解决机制控制问题的蔓延,则容易造成更大的集体性纠纷。当前,我国尚未建立起发达的社会诚信考察制度,加之法治监督环节的疏漏,致使本已繁多的集体劳动纠纷,变得涉案当事人众多、案情复杂多样、社会关注度高、涉及问题敏感。因此,尽快研究群体性劳动争议解决机制,十分必要。     

集体劳动争议的实证分析——基于全国31个省市区的数据

近年来,我国集体劳动争议案件明显上升,我国劳动关系正从"个别调整"向"集体调整"转变,探究集体劳动争议的预防与处理机制具有重要意义.我国近年来集体劳动争议状况显示,已实施职工合理化建议数以及建立劳动争议调解委员会数与集体劳动争议案件数量呈负相关关系.因此,在集体劳动争议处理中实行民主参与和重视调解机制有利于减少集体劳动...     

《劳动合同法》执行过程中疑难问题探讨

2008年以来,随着《劳动合同法》、《劳动争议调解仲裁法》的实施,特别是《劳动合同法实施条例》的颁布施行,虽然澄清了《劳动合同法》中的一些模糊问题,但是,围绕企业规章制度、双重劳动关系、经济补偿金和赔偿金的计算、追索加班费的举证责任和加班工资基数,以及社会保险争议等问题,人们的认识和仲裁、司法的审理和执行仍比较混乱。因此,有待于通过进一步学习劳动法律,在实践中对《劳动合同法》及《实施条例》执行过程中的某些疑难问题做进一步探讨。     

国际投资法制多边化发展趋势研究

从1948年<哈瓦纳宪章>到WTO的TRIMS,国际投资法制经历了从多边投资条约的失败到双边与区域性投资协定繁盛这样一个发展过程,但是国际投资法制多边化进程从来也没有停止过.晚近国际投资法制一致性发展的需要、投资者与国家及国际组织的努力推进,使得国际投资多边法制建设产生了可能性也具有可行性.未来多边投资条约中的重要问题...     

Hybrid processes within parenting plan assessments: Rationale and an illustrative model

Parenting plan Assessments, also known as child custody evaluations, are forensic psychological investigations into the needs of children, the parenting capacities of their caregivers, and the resulting fit between the children's needs and caregiver capacities. Typically, they result in recommendations that are, in the opinion of the assessor, formulated to meet the best interests of children regarding a parenting plan, child sharing, parental responsibilities and ancillary services that are likely to support the children's optimal functioning as well as the functioning of the now reconfigured family. Such assessments are part of a pathway to untangling conflicts between the parents regarding the most appropriate parenting plan for the reconfigured family. Paradoxically, the assessment process can exacerbate the conflict, entrench parental polarization, and create lingering feelings of helplessness, frustration, and disempowerment in the parents. This article provides a rationale for the use of a hybrid process that incorporates alternative dispute resolution as an integrated part of the parenting plan assessment and provides an illustrative model of such a hybrid process.     

Training parenting plan evaluators: Looking towards the future

Standards of practice for parenting plan evaluations continue to evolve, informed by advances in research and the development of innovative, evidence-based approaches to assessment and intervention. Parenting plan evaluators are asked to inform the court, parents, and other professionals on how to address the complex needs of increasingly diverse families amid reorganization, high conflict, and crisis. How can we attract and properly train new mental health professionals to do important work in an increasingly strained adversarial system? How can evaluators keep up with these advances over the course of their careers? How can they deepen and refine their skills to work with a diverse array of individuals, family constellations and an enormous range of family circumstances? And how can evaluators care for their own well-being and their colleagues? In this article, the authors describe a multi-dimensional approach to training both new and experienced custody evaluators that includes imparting baseline knowledge on how to conduct quality parenting plan evaluations as a starting point. We discuss a variety of modalities and approaches that can enable evaluators to deepen and expand their skills over the years, contribute to the diverse community of family law professionals, and manage the exceptional demands of working in this field.     

It's just so difficult to get anything done: Teen mental health in the family court setting

Navigating the family court setting to protect teen mental health, meet teens' mental health needs, and promote resilience and coping skills is challenging. We have tools that can help us meet that challenge. That toolkit includes: expanding who is involved in the work to develop a parenting plan or treatment plan; not reducing the case to a one-dimensional fact pattern; restructuring family court proceedings for ongoing problem-solving, providing protections for the teen's privacy; using consensual dispute resolution and adjudication on parallel tracks; and educating the decision makers through expert declarations and Brandeis briefs (even at the trial court level).
