On 15 March 2019, a Facebook Live video was broadcast from Christchurch, New Zealand, documenting a terror attack which resulted in the death of fifty-one people. This attack highlighted a weakness in social media protections and a gap in legislation globally. In response, the Criminal Code Amendment (Sharing of Abhorrent Violent Material) Act 2019 (Cth) seeks to make internet service and social media providers accountable for the removal of abhorrent and violent content. This legislation sent waves through the international community, attracting criticisms for its fast adoption, perceived unrealistic obligations and harsh penalties, as well as its broad extraterritorial reach. This article will explore these criticisms. It asks, how is the Act exercising extraterritorial jurisdiction? Is there an unrealistic burden created? And if there is a breach, who will be charged? The article concludes that if these challenges are not adequately addressed, the Act will not only fail to achieve its goal of reducing the accessibility of abhorrent violent material, but will also pose a serious threat to the protection of human rights.
2019年3月15日,一段来自新西兰克赖斯特彻奇的脸书直播视频记录了一起导致51人死亡的恐怖袭击。这次袭击凸显了社交媒体保护的薄弱环节和全球立法的空白。作为回应,《2019年刑法修正案(分享虐待暴力材料)法》(Cth)试图让互联网服务和社交媒体提供商对删除令人憎恶的暴力内容负责。这项立法在国际社会掀起了波澜,因其迅速通过、被视为不切实际的义务和严厉的惩罚以及其广泛的域外影响而招致批评。本文将探讨这些批评。它问道,该法案是如何行使域外管辖权的?是否产生了不切实际的负担?如果有违规行为,谁会受到指控?文章的结论是,如果这些挑战得不到充分解决,该法案不仅无法实现减少令人憎恶的暴力材料可及性的目标,而且还会对保护人权构成严重威胁。

Is Natural Law Timeless? 自然法是永恒的吗?
Pub Date : 2021-01-05 DOI: 10.53300/001c.18651
J. Crowe
Natural law theories hold that human action is oriented towards certain intrinsic goods and governed by practical principles accessible to us by virtue of our nature. These goods and principles make up the content of natural law. This essay argues that both the content of natural law and our understanding of its requirements evolve throughout human history. This represents a diachronic, rather than synchronic, understanding of natural law. This perspective is contrasted with the ‘new natural law theory’ of Germain Grisez and John Finnis, which depicts natural law as timeless and unchanging. Finnis seems to think that natural law does not change because it exists in the mind of God; however, a belief in God as the source of natural law is equally consistent with a diachronic perspective. I defend this view through reference to the writings of Thomas Aquinas and the structure of the biblical narrative.
自然法理论认为,人类的行为以某些内在的利益为导向,并由我们的本性所能获得的实际原则所支配。这些善和原则构成了自然法的内容。本文认为,自然法的内容和我们对自然法要求的理解都是在整个人类历史中不断发展的。这代表了对自然法则的历时性理解,而不是共时性理解。这种观点与Germain Grisez和John Finnis的“新自然法则理论”形成对比,后者将自然法则描述为永恒不变的。芬尼斯似乎认为自然法则不会改变,因为它存在于上帝的心中;然而,相信上帝是自然法则的来源同样与历时观点一致。我通过引用托马斯·阿奎那的著作和圣经叙事的结构来捍卫这一观点。

Prosecution of Wartime Environmental Damage by Non-State Parties at the International Criminal Court 国际刑事法院对非缔约国战时环境损害的起诉
Pub Date : 2020-11-05 DOI: 10.53300/001c.17931
J. Schaffer
This article presents a novel way of prosecuting wartime environmental damage committed by non-state parties to the Rome Statute at the International Criminal Court. The current legal framework applicable during armed conflicts has many gaps and weaknesses, leaving the environment as a silent victim. The stringent threshold that must be met before environmental damage is prohibited under international humanitarian law has failed to offer any real protection, particularly in non-international armed conflicts, despite their growing prevalence. Furthermore, destruction of the environment has not materialised as a distinct crime in international law; rather, it is treated as a material element or underlying act of other crimes in the Rome Statute. Where states involved in armed conflicts are not party to the Rome Statute, individuals can seemingly enjoy impunity for serious environmental harm arising during the conflict. This article will illustrate how individuals from non-state parties could face criminal responsibility for environmental crimes where one element of the crime, namely environmental damage, is committed on the territory of a state party. This offers a novel, albeit limited route for addressing the gaps in the current law.
这篇文章提出了一种在国际刑事法院起诉《罗马规约》非国家缔约方战时环境破坏的新方法。目前适用于武装冲突的法律框架存在许多漏洞和弱点,使环境成为沉默的受害者。在国际人道主义法禁止环境破坏之前必须达到的严格门槛未能提供任何真正的保护,特别是在非国际武装冲突中,尽管这种冲突日益普遍。此外,破坏环境在国际法中并没有成为一种独特的罪行;相反,在《罗马规约》中,它被视为其他罪行的物质要素或根本行为。在卷入武装冲突的国家不是《罗马规约》缔约国的情况下,个人似乎可以对冲突期间造成的严重环境损害逍遥法外。这篇文章将说明非国家缔约方的个人如何因环境犯罪而面临刑事责任,因为犯罪的一个要素,即环境破坏,是在缔约国领土上犯下的。这为解决现行法律中的空白提供了一条新颖但有限的途径。

Out with the Old, in with the Alternative: A Critical Examination of How Lawyers Can Use Alternative Fee Arrangements to Satisfy Increasingly Powerful Clients 旧的退了,替代的进了:对律师如何使用替代收费安排来满足日益强大的客户的批判性审查
Pub Date : 2020-10-06 DOI: 10.53300/001C.17541

This article examines law firms’ need to replace the billable hour with alternative fee arrangements and discusses the ethical and managerial hurdles they will face when making this transition. It analyses the characteristics of client demand for legal pricing models and determines that client demand can only be satisfied by firms that implement alternative fee arrangements. This proposition is supported by research which suggests that alternative fee arrangements optimise firm profitability and enable firms to retain their clients whose bargaining power has been enlarged by technology. Finally, this article provides practical guidance on factors firms must consider when adopting alternative fee arrangements, specifically legal ethics issues and managerial challenges that must be addressed when implementing disruptive innovations. Ultimately, the author intends to highlight the industry-wide misalignment between client demand and the billable hour, and persuade firms to optimise their profitability and chances of survival by adopting alternative fee arrangements.
本文探讨了律师事务所用替代收费安排取代计费时间的必要性,并讨论了他们在进行这一转变时将面临的道德和管理障碍。它分析了法律定价模型的客户需求特征,并确定只有实施替代费用安排的公司才能满足客户需求。这一主张得到了研究的支持,该研究表明,替代费用安排优化了公司的盈利能力,并使公司能够留住其议价能力因技术而扩大的客户。最后,本文就企业在采用替代费用安排时必须考虑的因素提供了实际指导,特别是在实施颠覆性创新时必须解决的法律道德问题和管理挑战。最终,作者打算强调整个行业客户需求和计费时间之间的不一致,并说服公司通过采用替代费用安排来优化其盈利能力和生存机会。

Making Rights Real: The Promise and Potential Pitfalls of the Human Rights Act 2019 (Qld) 使权利成为现实:《2019年人权法案》的承诺和潜在缺陷(昆士兰州)
Pub Date : 2020-06-08 DOI: 10.53300/001C.13243
S. McDougall
The commencement of the Human Rights Act 2019 (Qld) on 1 January 2020 heralded a new era in public sector decision-making in Queensland, and the community has high expectations of a regime that obliges the three arms of government to consider people’s human rights when performing their functions. How do we achieve the Act’s objective of building a genuine human rights culture within the public sector? How can the Act make a real difference to the lives of those people most in need of human rights protection? This article, written by the Queensland Human Rights Commissioner, addresses these questions and provides an overview of the Queensland Human Rights Commission’s plan for the successful implementation of the Act in Queensland. The article is an edited version of a Twilight Seminar presented to the Faculty of Law at Bond University on 6 February 2020.
《2019年人权法》于2020年1月1日生效,预示着昆士兰公共部门决策进入了一个新时代,社区对一个要求政府三部门在履行职责时考虑人民人权的制度寄予厚望。我们如何实现该法案在公共部门建立真正的人权文化的目标?该法案如何才能真正改变那些最需要人权保护的人的生活?这篇文章由昆士兰人权专员撰写,阐述了这些问题,并概述了昆士兰人权委员会在昆士兰成功实施该法案的计划。这篇文章是2020年2月6日在邦德大学法学院举行的暮光之城研讨会的编辑版。

A Quiet Harbour: Finding a Balanced Approach to the Copyright Liability of Online Service Providers 一个安静的港湾:寻找一种平衡的方法来解决在线服务提供商的版权责任
Pub Date : 2020-02-10 DOI: 10.53300/001C.11885
S. Alexander
The United States, via the Online Copyright Infringement Liability Limitation Act, provides a safe harbour from copyright liability for online service providers. This safe harbour has been described as one of the laws that ‘built’ Silicon Valley. Despite the experience in the United States, Australia has not extended its own copyright safe harbour provisions to online service providers. This article seeks to understand the underlying reasons for such different approaches by adopting a comparative analysis methodology. After reviewing the legislative history and case law in the United States and in Australia, this article presents evidence suggesting copyright safe harbours support innovation. As such, this article contends there is a need to reconsider the scope of Australia’s copyright safe harbour. However, it is also demonstrated that the approach taken by the United States has not been without its flaws and, therefore, rather than a complete adoption of this position, Australia should consider a more ‘balanced’ approach—namely, extending the copyright safe harbour, while also introducing amendments to bring clarity and balance to the safe harbour provisions.
美国通过《网络版权侵权责任限制法》为在线服务提供商提供了一个免于承担版权责任的安全港。这个安全港被描述为“建立”硅谷的法律之一。尽管有美国的经验,澳大利亚并没有将其版权安全港条款扩展到在线服务提供商。本文试图通过采用比较分析方法来理解这种不同方法的根本原因。在回顾了美国和澳大利亚的立法历史和判例法后,本文提出了证据,表明版权安全港支持创新。因此,本文认为有必要重新考虑澳大利亚版权安全港的范围。然而,这也表明,美国采取的方法并非没有缺陷,因此,与其完全采取这一立场,澳大利亚还应该考虑一种更“平衡”的方法,即扩大版权安全港,同时提出修正案,使安全港条款更加明确和平衡。

Evolution and Complementarity? Traditional and Complementary Medicine as Part of the International Human Rights Law Right to Health 进化与互补?作为国际人权法健康权一部分的传统医学和补充医学
Pub Date : 2020-02-06 DOI: 10.53300/001C.11881
Angela Doolan, G. Carne
In International Human Rights Law, the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights defines the right to health as the right of everyone to the enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health. Millions of people use traditional and complementary medicine (‘T&CM’) to realise their right to health. This article analyses whether the scope of the right to health includes T&CM. Although not expressly provided for in the legally binding treaties, there is substantial evidence in international law to infer a right to T&CM as part of the right to health. The article analyses some of the failings of T&CM policy and regulation in Australia and offers a draft convention article in the recently proposed Framework Convention on Global Health (‘FCGH’) which codifies an express and legally binding right to T&CM. This would assist States Parties address the policy, legislative and regulatory gaps that currently exist regarding T&CM. A clear duty imposed on States Parties would ensure everyone including indigenous peoples have access to quality, safe, culturally appropriate, and effective T&CM health care facilities, goods and services. States Parties including the Australian Government might then more effectively harness the potential contribution of T&CM, and fundamentally reorientate health systems towards significantly more cost-effective wellness and people centred health care in realising the right to health for all.
在《国际人权法》中,《经济、社会、文化权利国际公约》将健康权定义为人人享有能达到的最高标准身心健康的权利。数以百万计的人使用传统和补充医学来实现他们的健康权。本文分析了健康权的范围是否包括T&CM。尽管具有法律约束力的条约中没有明确规定,但国际法中有大量证据表明,T&CM权利是健康权的一部分。本文分析了澳大利亚T&CM政策和监管的一些缺陷,并在最近提出的《全球卫生框架公约》(“FCGH”)中提供了一个公约条款草案,该条款将T&CM的一项明确且具有法律约束力的权利编纂成法典。这将有助于缔约国解决目前在T&CM方面存在的政策、立法和监管空白。缔约国承担的明确义务将确保包括土著人民在内的每个人都能获得高质量、安全、文化适宜和有效的T&CM医疗保健设施、商品和服务。然后,包括澳大利亚政府在内的缔约国可能会更有效地利用T&CM的潜在贡献,并从根本上重新调整卫生系统,使其在实现全民健康权方面实现更具成本效益的健康和以人为本的医疗保健。

Treating Vulnerable Consumers ‘Fairly’ When They Make a Complaint About Banking or Finance in Australia 弱势消费者投诉澳大利亚银行或金融时“公平”对待他们
Pub Date : 2020-01-08 DOI: 10.53300/001c.11636
Tania Sourdin, Mirella Atherton
The Australian Financial Services Reform Act 2001 (Cth) requires that licenced banking and financial services providers establish internal dispute resolution (‘IDR’) systems complying with requirements promulgated by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (‘ASIC’). In addition, licence holders are required to be members of an ASIC approved External Dispute Resolution (‘EDR’) scheme so that if a complaint is not resolved following the use of internal mechanisms, an external dispute resolution facility is available for most banking consumers. In late 2018, a new EDR body was established, the Australian Financial Complaints Authority (‘AFCA’), to deal with external complaints. The 2018 Royal Commission into the banking and finance sector uncovered significant issues in terms of the banking and financial sector and raised a number of serious concerns that were largely linked to how consumers contracted with banks and other organisations however information about existing complaint handling arrangements was limited. In particular, there was little demographic information about consumers who use IDR and EDR arrangements or what factors may be relevant in terms of the settlement of complaints and disputes. In this regard, currently sections 912A(1)(g), (2) of the Corporations Act direct the form of AFSL holders’ IDR and EDR systems, but they do not impose any obligations on AFSL holders in terms of conduct when providing the systems. In terms of consumers more generally, it is unclear how many consumers could be classified as ‘vulnerable’ and may settle a dispute on less favourable terms because the impact of proceeding may place them in an even more disadvantageous position. It is suggested that better reporting in relation to IDR and EDR activity together with targeted independent advocacy services and training of relevant staff in respect of the Australian Consumer Law could assist consumers and enable more effective reporting of misconduct issues.
《2001年澳大利亚金融服务改革法》(Cth)要求持牌银行和金融服务提供商建立符合澳大利亚证券和投资委员会(ASIC)颁布的要求的内部争议解决(IDR)系统。此外,许可证持有人必须是ASIC批准的外部争议解决(“EDR”)计划的成员,以便如果投诉在使用内部机制后无法解决,则大多数银行消费者可以使用外部争议解决设施。2018年底,澳大利亚成立了一个新的电子数据处理机构——澳大利亚金融投诉管理局(AFCA),负责处理外部投诉。2018年皇家委员会对银行和金融业的调查发现了银行和金融业的重大问题,并提出了一些严重的担忧,这些问题主要与消费者与银行和其他组织签订合同的方式有关,但有关现有投诉处理安排的信息有限。特别是,几乎没有关于使用IDR和EDR安排的消费者的人口统计资料,也没有关于在解决投诉和争端方面可能涉及哪些因素的资料。在这方面,目前《公司法》第912A(1)(g),(2)条指导了AFSL持有人的IDR和EDR系统的形式,但它们没有对AFSL持有人在提供系统时的行为施加任何义务。就更普遍的消费者而言,目前尚不清楚有多少消费者可以被归类为“弱势群体”,并可能以不太有利的条件解决争端,因为诉讼的影响可能使他们处于更不利的地位。报告建议,更好地报告IDR和EDR活动,同时提供有针对性的独立宣传服务,并对有关工作人员进行《澳大利亚消费者法》方面的培训,可以帮助消费者,使其能够更有效地报告不当行为问题。

In addition, licence holders are required to be members of an ASIC approved External Dispute Resolution (‘EDR’) scheme so that if a complaint is not resolved following the use of internal mechanisms, an external dispute resolution facility is available for most banking consumers. In late 2018, a new EDR body was established, the Australian Financial Complaints Authority (‘AFCA’), to deal with external complaints. The 2018 Royal Commission into the banking and finance sector uncovered significant issues in terms of the banking and financial sector and raised a number of serious concerns that were largely linked to how consumers contracted with banks and other organisations however information about existing complaint handling arrangements was limited. In particular, there was little demographic information about consumers who use IDR and EDR arrangements or what factors may be relevant in terms of the settlement of complaints and disputes. In this regard, currently sections 912A(1)(g), (2) of the Corporations Act direct the form of AFSL holders’ IDR and EDR systems, but they do not impose any obligations on AFSL holders in terms of conduct when providing the systems. In terms of consumers more generally, it is unclear how many consumers could be classified as ‘vulnerable’ and may settle a dispute on less favourable terms because the impact of proceeding may place them in an even more disadvantageous position. It is suggested that better reporting in relation to IDR and EDR activity together with targeted independent advocacy services and training of relevant staff in respect of the Australian Consumer Law could assist consumers and enable more effective reporting of misconduct issues.","PeriodicalId":33279,"journal":{"name":"Bond Law Review","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44192363","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Trustee Rights and Powers: A Taxonomical Analysis 受托人的权利和权力:分类分析
Pub Date : 2020-01-08 DOI: 10.53300/001C.11637
Chris T S Chiam
This article examines what differences there are, if any, between the rights and powers of a trustee. Although these terms are commonly applied to distinguish between various aspects of trusteeship, there is no clear explanation of the basis of this taxonomy. This article argues that there is no conceptual difference between these two terms, and that they should merely be seen as labels of convenience and convention. As a result, the law should be understood as giving trustees a range of abilities, with there being no principled difference between what are commonly called rights and powers. This conclusion not only answers an unresolved taxonomical issue, but may also have implications for statutory interpretation and the constraints that trustees have when they exercise functions vested in them.
本文探讨了受托人的权利和权力之间的差异(如果有的话)。尽管这些术语通常用于区分托管的各个方面,但对这种分类法的基础没有明确的解释。本文认为,这两个术语在概念上没有区别,它们只应被视为方便和惯例的标签。因此,法律应该被理解为赋予受托人一系列能力,通常所说的权利和权力之间没有原则上的区别。这一结论不仅回答了一个尚未解决的分类学问题,而且可能对法定解释和受托人行使赋予他们的职能时所受的约束产生影响。
