云南回族教育的传统与走向

回族教育从回族形成时即开始.云南回族教育与其他地区的回族教育一样,走过了家庭教育、经堂教育到国民教育的发展过程,但是这三个过程又从来没有因为后者的出现而摒弃前一种教育形式,而是三种教育并存,所不同的是,在不同的社会发展阶段所占的比重和教育的主要内容不同而已.当代云南回族的教育,有其先进和发展迅速的一面,也有着观念和行动上落后的弊端.回族教育要与时代合拍,只有进行创新和改革,才能培养出高层次的人才.     

WTO义务减让表的解释问题

本文论述WTO减让表的法律解释问题。专家组和上诉机构对减让表的解释仅仅局限于《维也纳条约法公约》31、32、33条的运用,而忽略了减让表谈判、草拟、缔结的单边性,导致减让表的解释面临重重困境。本文梳理了专家组、上诉机构在个案中解释减让表的具体步骤,指出减让表解释目前面临困境的根源,提出减让表解释可以援用其他的解释方法。减让表解释的研究意义主要在于开阔眼界,认识到发挥WTO裁判机构司法能动性的重要意义,促进法律解释学的发展以及国际法最终体系化的发展。

德国是如何帮助弱势群体的

社会救助--让人过有尊严的生活 在德国居留的难民,上世纪90年代每个月可以从德国政府得到700至800马克的补贴,比起他们的生活水平,我们这些领奖学金的学生真算是弱势群体了.到大学注册之前,我必须为自己申请一份比较便宜的医疗保险,因为德国的医疗保险,不仅是全民的,而且受法律约束.

Commentary on the Newly Implemented Amendment Ⅷ to the Criminal Law Concerning Children’s Rights in China

Thus, it helps to safeguard the rights of juveniles and strengthens criminal law protection of their rights and interests.
