Digital Wiretap Warrant: Improving the security of ETSI Lawful Interception

Lawful Interception (LI) of data communications is an essential tool for Law Enforcement Agencies (LEA) in order to investigate criminal activities carried out or coordinated by means of Internet. However, the ability to secretly monitor the activities of citizens also has a great impact on civil rights. Therefore, democratic societies must prevent abuse and ensure that LI is only employed in specific cases with justifiable grounds or a probable cause. Nowadays, in many countries each interception must be authorized by a wiretap warrant, usually issued by a judge. However, this wiretap warrant is merely an administrative document that should be checked by the network or service operator before enabling the monitoring of its customers, whose communications are later handed over to a LEA in plaintext. This paper proposes the idea of employing a Digital Wiretap Warrant (DWW), which further protects the civil liberties, security and privacy of LI by ensuring that monitoring devices can only be enabled with a valid DWW, and by encrypting the captured data so only the authorized LEA is able to decrypt those communications. Moreover, in the proposed DWW framework all digital evidence is securely time-stamped and signed, thus guaranteeing that it has not been tampered with, and that a proper chain of custody has been met. In particular this paper proposes how to apply the DWW concept to the lawful interception framework defined by the ETSI LI Technical Committee, and evaluates how the additional security mechanisms could impact the performance and storage costs of a LI platform.

Community-based Justice and the Protection of Women＇s Rights： A Case of Woman Pursuing Separation in the Republic of China

女权保护不仅是立法的任务，更须在司法中得到落实，如何适用法律对妇女权利保护至关重要。在民国一起妇女诉请别居案中，虽然《中华民国民法》并未规定别居制度，按照民法传统理论，当事人不能享有诉请别居的诉权。然而在南京国民政府时期，司法官秉持社会本位司法理念，突破法律常规，以保护妇女权利的社会价值共识指导司法过程，赋予妇女诉请别居的诉权，并在别居后的权利义务安排上予以照顾，从而使妇女权利得到了保护。

对侦查阶段律师辩护人身份确立的思考

新修正的《刑事诉讼法》在许多方面对侦查工作加强了制约监督,切实体现了尊重和保障人权理念。侦查机关和侦查人员应当顺应时势,牢记尊重和保障人权,转变旧的侦查理念和模式,积极适应侦查阶段律师辩护人身份的确立,不断提高侦查工作质量,切实提高新形势下诉讼效益。这无论从查明案情,还是从打击犯罪方面以及提高侦查公信力方面来说都是非常必要的,而且是非常迫切的。     

Two sides of the same coin: can campaigns generate support for both human rights and retributive violence?

ABSTRACT

Do framing strategies that are effective at encouraging pro-social behavior, such as participation in human rights campaigns, also mobilize support for violence within the same subjects? We use an experimental research design to examine individuals’ reactions to personal, humanizing narratives about past victimization. Participants are randomly assigned to one of eight treatment groups, which variously highlighted the humanity of the subject, the intensity of the past violence, and/or an evocative photograph of the subject that underscores her loss and vulnerability. We expect narratives that emphasize the subject’s humanity will encourage the audience to see the subject as innocent and as a victim, but also to feel angry about her experience. As a result, individuals will be more likely to defend the subject’s human rights, and to condone her use of retributive violence. We find that humanizing narratives lead respondents to simultaneously support a human rights appeal on the subject’s behalf and her use of retributive violence. Perceiving the subject in the narrative as innocent or as a victim mediates these effects, but anger often does not.     

论我国农村土地征用程序的法治化

土地是我国最为宝贵的稀缺资源,也是农民最基本的生产资料,是农村发展和稳定的基础.在我国当前的农村土地征用过程中,行政主体具有极大的自由裁量权.公正的程序是防止权力专横和权力滥用的屏障,也是保障农村、农民土地所有权和使用权的基本要求.当前我国应当从公开性、公正性入手,构建一个科学、合理的土地征用程序,以平衡公共利益和个人利益,实现社会公平正义,带动农村经济和社会稳定、健康发展.     

全面落实农民公民权利的行动纲领——《中共中央国务院关于推进社会主义新农村建设的若干意见》的宪政解读

公民权利是宪法对人权的确认和保障,公民权利主体具有普遍性.我国宪法规定公民权利主体包括农民在内的所有中华人民共和国公民.宪法规定了广泛的公民权利,实施权利需要配置资源,在我国工业化进程中,宪法规定的农民的公民权利被搁置,造成农民公民权利的贫困.社会主义新农村建设,根本的就是解决农民问题,实现农民权利的问题.《中共中央 国务院关于进一步推进社会主义新农村建设的若干意见》是新时期国家全面落实农民公民权利的行动纲领.     

信息技术发展与广播组织权利保护制度的重塑

当代信息技术的飞跃发展使盗播广播节目更加容易,广播组织的邻接权受到了日益严重的侵权威胁,以《罗马公约》为基础的广播组织权利保护制度越来越不能适应信息技术发展的要求。世界知识产权组织主持并拟定了保护广播组织权利的新方案,扩大了广播组织的权利,但该方案也遭到了来自广大发展中国家及一些发达国家政府、企事业单位的强烈批评。我国应当密切关注国际广播组织权利保护的最新动向,对我国著作权法做及时的修改,在保护广播组织权利的同时注意维护社会公众正当的利益。
