Abstract The ECB has two mandates its primary and secondary mandate. Its primary mandate has been the focus of many discussions but its secondary mandate is less frequently discussed. Nevertheless this mandate has important objectives and should not be considered obsolete. This article examines the legal status of the secondary mandate of the ECB with regard to climate change. In particular this article will consider the role of the secondary mandate with regard to the Digital Euro and energy targets. The Digital Euro can be used as a monetary tool and improve payment systems. However, depending on its design the Digital Euro can use a considerable amount of energy. This article concludes that if the design of the Digital Euro does not impact the monetary objectives, the secondary mandate of the ECB determines the design of the Digital Euro.
欧洲央行有两个使命:主要使命和次要使命。它的主要任务是许多讨论的焦点,但次要任务较少得到讨论。然而,这项任务具有重要的目标,不应被认为是过时的。本文考察了欧洲央行在气候变化方面的次要任务的法律地位。特别是,本文将考虑关于数字欧元和能源目标的次要任务的作用。数字欧元可以用作货币工具,改善支付系统。然而,根据其设计,数字欧元可以使用相当多的能源。本文的结论是,如果数字欧元的设计不影响货币目标,则欧洲央行的次要任务决定了数字欧元的设计。

The Divisible College: A Day in the Lives of Public International Law 可分割学院:国际公法生命中的一天

This is an article about two things. First, the bifurcation of public international law (PIL) into two distinct forms: The material and the narrative. And second, the methodological fragmentation of international lawyers into discrete communities. After setting the substantive fragmentation of PIL as the context of analysis, I deploy Susan Marks’ concept of “false contingency” to distinguish material and narrative PIL. I briefly examine each, and their interactions, before turning to a specific manifestation of material PIL that I call the Global Legal Order (GLO).I then sketch the radical indeterminacy of narrative PIL, its manifestations in the ontological indeterminacy of the commonly accepted sources of PIL, and its source in PIL’s lack of authority and institutionalization. This contrasts with the determinacy and authority of the GLO. Next, I turn to the “fragmentation” of international lawyers into distinct “communities of practice.” In fact, this process turns out to be one of agglomeration, international lawyers are constructed within communities of practice, which glom together to create the appearance of PIL.Finally, I turn to how these communities function by pitting “performances of legality” in “vicarious litigation,” using the Chagos Islands case as an illustration. This is contrasted with the functioning of the operative legal system that is the GLO. I examine the constituent institutions of this system, and how they operate together to produce direct and indirect governance in under-developed states. In practice, this policy imposition immiserates states and antagonizes local populations. It necessitates oppressive governance which entails what narrative PIL determines to be “human rights abuses.”
这是一篇关于两件事的文章。首先,国际公法分为两种不同的形式:材料和叙述。第二,国际律师在方法上分散成不同的群体。在将PIL的实质碎片化设置为分析语境后,我运用苏珊·马克斯的“虚假偶然性”概念来区分材料性PIL和叙事性PIL。在转向我称之为全球法律秩序(GLO)的物质PIL的具体表现之前,我简要地研究了每一种及其相互作用。然后,我勾勒出叙事PIL的根本不确定性,它在普遍接受的PIL来源的本体论不确定性中的表现,以及它在PIL缺乏权威和制度化中的来源。这与GLO的果断性和权威性形成了鲜明对比。接下来,我将国际律师的“碎片化”转变为不同的“实践社区”。事实上,这个过程是一个聚集的过程,国际律师是在实践社区中构建的,这些社区聚集在一起,创造了PIL的外观。最后,我以查戈斯群岛案件为例,通过将“合法性表现”与“替代诉讼”对立起来,来探讨这些社区是如何运作的。这与GLO的运作法律制度形成了鲜明对比。我研究了这个体系的组成机构,以及它们如何共同运作,在欠发达国家产生直接和间接治理。在实践中,这种政策的强制执行使各州陷入困境,并与当地民众对立。它需要压迫性的治理,这就意味着PIL所认定的“侵犯人权”

Urbanizing Human Rights Law: Cities, Local Governance and Corporate Power 城市化的人权法:城市、地方治理与企业权力

Abstract This article considers ways in which human rights law ought to respond to a growingly urban global order of blurred private—corporate—and state power. Fragmented and dispersed power comes together, in different configurations of public and private, in the cities and towns of the world. For this reason, local government presents the appropriate scale at which to re-conceptualize the operation of international human rights norms, also against private power. This requires engaging not only with the reach and leanings of international human rights standards but also with the manner in which they are rendered applicable, through domestic constitutional law, against state and non-state actors at a local scale. The urbanization of human rights law accordingly also requires a second look at the powers, competencies and responsibilities of urban local government under domestic constitutional law.
摘要本文探讨了人权法应该如何回应日益模糊的私人、企业和国家权力的全球城市秩序。支离破碎和分散的权力汇聚在一起,以不同的公共和私人结构,在世界的城市和城镇。出于这个原因,地方政府提供了适当的规模,以重新概念化国际人权规范的运作,也反对私人权力。这不仅需要考虑国际人权标准的范围和倾向,还需要考虑通过国内宪法使这些标准在地方范围内适用于国家和非国家行为者的方式。因此,人权法的城市化也需要重新审视城市地方政府根据国内宪法的权力、能力和责任。

Conflicting Conceptions of Hate Speech in the ECtHR’s Case Law 欧洲人权法院判例法中仇恨言论概念的冲突
IF 1.3 Pub Date : 2022-12-01 DOI: 10.1017/glj.2022.81
S. Sottiaux
Abstract This article argues that the ECtHR uses two conflicting tests to assess the same types of hate speech. This results in legal uncertainty at best, and arbitrariness and double standards at worst. To remedy the present situation, I propose a two-track strategy. To begin with, the Court should abandon its “bad tendency” approach, a test prone to abuse by governments to silence political dissent under the guise of fighting hate speech, for a set of uniform criteria to assess hate speech-restrictions, in line with its current incitement approach. In addition, however, to compensate for the loss of protection against severe forms of vilification which do not meet the incitement-criteria, the Court should formulate a new category of unprotected speech, to be defined as intentional intimidation or harassment.
摘要本文认为,欧洲人权法院使用两种相互冲突的测试来评估相同类型的仇恨言论。这将导致法律上的不确定性,而最坏的结果是随意性和双重标准。为了扭转这种局面,我建议采取“双轨战略”。首先,最高法院应该放弃其“不良倾向”方法,这是一种容易被政府滥用的测试,以打击仇恨言论为幌子压制政治异议,而应该采用一套统一的标准来评估仇恨言论的限制,与目前的煽动方法一致。然而,此外,为了补偿对不符合煽动标准的严重诽谤形式的保护的损失,法院应制定一种新的不受保护的言论类别,将其定义为故意恐吓或骚扰。

“Good” Court-Packing? The Paradoxes of Constitutional Repair in Contexts of Democratic Decay “好”的法庭包装?民主衰退背景下的宪法修复悖论
IF 1.3 Pub Date : 2022-10-01 DOI: 10.1017/glj.2022.75

Abstract U.S. debates on reforming the Supreme Court, including controversial arguments to break the norm against court-packing to repair the democratic system, have generally focused on historical precedents and the domestic system, with scant comparative analysis. However, the U.S. debate raises fundamental questions for comparative constitutional lawyers regarding the paradoxes of constitutional repair in contexts of democratic decay, framed here as a distinct category of constitutional transition. This study argues that sharpening our analytical tools for understanding such reforms requires a novel comparative and theoretical approach valorizing the experiences of Global South states and drawing on, and connecting, insights across four overlapping research fields: Democratic decay, democratization, constitution-building, and transitional justice. The article accordingly pursues comparative analysis of the legitimacy of court-packing through case-studies of Turkey and Argentina to offer a five-dimensional analytical framework: (i) democratic context; (ii) articulated reform purpose; (iii) reform options; (iv) reform process; and (v) repetition risk. In doing so, this article seeks not to present a rigid check-list for evaluating the legitimacy of contested reforms, but rather, to foreground important dimensions of reforms aimed at reversing democratic decay as an emergent global challenge for public law meriting closer attention.
美国关于改革最高法院的辩论,包括打破常规反对法院填塞以修复民主制度的争议性论点,通常集中在历史先例和国内制度上,缺乏比较分析。然而,美国的辩论为比较宪法律师提出了一个基本问题,即在民主衰退的背景下宪法修复的悖论,在这里被框定为宪法过渡的一个独特类别。本研究认为,提高我们的分析工具以理解这些改革,需要一种新的比较和理论方法来评估全球南方国家的经验,并借鉴和联系四个重叠研究领域的见解:民主衰退、民主化、宪法建设和过渡时期司法。因此,本文通过对土耳其和阿根廷的案例研究,对法院包装的合法性进行比较分析,以提供一个五维分析框架:(i)民主背景;(ii)明确的改革目的;改革方案;改革进程;(五)重复风险。在这样做的过程中,本文试图不提供一个严格的检查清单来评估有争议的改革的合法性,而是将旨在扭转民主衰退的改革的重要方面作为值得更密切关注的公法的新兴全球挑战。

A Kantian Moral Cosmopolitan Approach to Teaching Professional Legal Ethics 职业法律伦理教学的康德道德世界主义方法

Abstract This article argues that given the globalization of legal education and legal services, professional legal ethics should incorporate not only a cosmopolitan dimension but also sentiments such as compassion, respect, and sensitivity for human suffering. Inspired by the philosophy of Immanuel Kant and his theory of education, this article seeks to address some of the limitations of the professional codes of conduct for barristers and solicitors, in England and Wales, by applying a moral cosmopolitan approach to the teaching of professional legal ethics. This normative approach is underscored by a commitment to moral duties to persons irrespective of their nationality, gender, religion, or any other defining characteristic. These duties include promoting client autonomy and engaging in law reform. This article also argues that Clinical Legal Education programs are an appropriate methodology for teaching moral cosmopolitan ethics.
摘要本文认为,在法律教育和法律服务全球化的背景下,职业法律伦理不仅应包含世界性的维度,还应包含同情、尊重和对人类苦难的敏感等情感。受伊曼纽尔·康德哲学及其教育理论的启发,本文试图通过将道德世界主义方法应用于职业法律伦理的教学,来解决英格兰和威尔士大律师和律师职业行为准则的一些局限性。这一规范性做法的强调是,无论国籍、性别、宗教或任何其他决定性特征如何,都要对个人承担道德义务。这些职责包括促进客户自主权和参与法律改革。本文还认为,临床法律教育项目是教授道德世界伦理的合适方法。

The Emergence of the Established “By Law” Criterion for Reviewing European Judicial Appointments 确立的欧洲司法任命审查“章程”标准的出现
IF 1.3 Pub Date : 2022-10-01 DOI: 10.1017/glj.2022.71
H. Karlsson
The “established by law” criterion recently emerged as an independent element of Article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), through the European Court of Human Rights’ (ECtHR’s) judgment in Ástráðsson v. Iceland. The criterion imposes the obligation on states to appoint judges in accordance with the respective legal framework. Its emergence occurred at a precarious moment in European intergovernmental politics, with illiberal governments in several European states exhibiting tactics aimed at softening obstacles to their governing powers, upheld by their respective judiciaries. Through a dialog between the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) Court, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU), and the ECtHR, the “established by law” criterion has now emerged in the European constitutional repository for thwarting such tactics. In this article, the story of this development is told through highlights from the case law of the European supranational courts and through the Icelandic backstory of the Ástráðsson case. This story reveals important nuances in how the case law needs to be understood with regards to the constitutional forces at stake. The conceptual approach of the ECtHR in Ástráðsson is also analyzed in context with Lon Fuller’s rule of law principle of congruence, which provides a framework for evaluating the merits of the Court’s tactic.
最近,通过欧洲人权法院在Ástráğsson诉冰岛案中的判决,“依法确立”标准成为《欧洲人权公约》第6条的一个独立要素。该标准规定各国有义务根据各自的法律框架任命法官。它的出现正值欧洲政府间政治的不稳定时刻,几个欧洲国家的非自由政府表现出旨在软化其执政权障碍的策略,这些障碍得到了各自司法机构的支持。通过欧洲自由贸易联盟(EFTA)法院、欧盟法院(CJEU)和欧洲人权法院之间的对话,“依法确立”的标准现在已经出现在欧洲宪法库中,用于挫败这种策略。在这篇文章中,通过欧洲超国家法院判例法的亮点和Ástráğsson案的冰岛背景故事,讲述了这一发展的故事。这个故事揭示了如何理解涉及宪法力量的判例法的重要细微差别。还结合Lon Fuller的一致性法治原则分析了Ástráğsson案中ECtHR的概念方法,该原则为评估法院策略的优点提供了一个框架。

The Enemy Within? Article 259 TFEU and the EU’s Rule of Law Crisis 内部的敌人?第259条TFEU与欧盟的法治危机
IF 1.3 Pub Date : 2022-10-01 DOI: 10.1017/glj.2022.72

Abstract This article explores the role which Member State-led infringement proceedings can play in overcoming the EU’s rule of law crisis, and hypothesizes that it can prove helpful in breaking the current impasse. It begins by understanding why the EU’s “traditional” rule of law enforcement mechanisms—such as Article 7 of the Treaty on European Union (TEU) and the recent rule of law conditionality regulation—have failed (Section 2), before exploring how infringement proceedings operate, what their shortcomings are, and why Scheppele’s proposed “systemic infringement proceedings” are important (Section 3). It then seeks to apply said findings to the rule of law crisis, using two recent developments as an example: The oral proceedings of Commission v. Poland (Régime disciplinaire des juges) and a recent vote by the Dutch Parliament compelling its government to take Poland before the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) (Section 4). Finally, it explores the broader constitutional implications of relying on Article 259 Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) to overcome the rule of law crisis: It discusses Kochenov’s notion of “biting intergovernmentalism”, what Article 259 illustrates about the European Union’s (EU) hybrid constitution, and how intergovernmental legal instruments can facilitate further European integration (Section 5). It concludes by restating and summing up article’s hypothesis.
摘要本文探讨了成员国主导的侵权诉讼在克服欧盟法治危机方面可以发挥的作用,并假设这有助于打破目前的僵局。它首先要理解为什么欧盟的“传统”执法机制——如《欧盟条约》第7条和最近的法治条件监管——失败了(第2节),然后探讨侵权诉讼是如何运作的,它们的缺点是什么,以及为什么Scheppelle提出的“系统性侵权诉讼”很重要(第3节)。然后,它试图将上述调查结果应用于法治危机,并以最近的两个事态发展为例:委员会诉波兰案的口头诉讼(司法制度)和荷兰议会最近的一次投票,迫使其政府将波兰提交欧盟法院(CJEU)(第4节)。最后,它探讨了依靠《欧盟运作条约》第259条来克服法治危机的更广泛的宪法含义:它讨论了科切诺夫的“尖锐的政府间主义”概念,第259条对欧盟混合宪法的说明,以及政府间法律文书如何能够促进欧洲进一步一体化(第5节)。最后对文章的假设进行了重述和总结。

Promoting Constitutional Literacy: What Role for Courts? 促进宪法素养:法院的作用是什么?
IF 1.3 Pub Date : 2022-10-01 DOI: 10.1017/glj.2022.73

Abstract This article explores the role of constitutional judges in advancing constitutional literacy, understood as knowledge relating to the functioning of the constitutional order. Part of the inquiry is descriptive and geared towards identifying the modalities that courts today use to cultivate such literacy among the public, or segments thereof. The article also poses normative questions about literacy-boosting efforts. How do these relate to “typical” judicial functions? Are courts well-placed and equipped to disseminate constitutional knowledge? Based on an analysis of judicial practices, it is suggested that lay individuals are increasingly treated as a key constituency by courts, warranting the development of specially curated initiatives crafted with the values of inclusion, accessibility, and transparency in mind. This manifests notably in a turn to social media use and an incipient embrace of legal design thinking. The available literacy-boosting modalities are not without flaws, however, and we should be cognizant of limits regarding what can realistically be expected of courts in furthering popular constitutional knowledge. Notwithstanding room for improvement in the design and delivery of constitutional literacy, the existing judicial efforts when viewed in their entirety should be evaluated positively as making a meaningful contribution in meeting people’s interests in greater constitutional knowledge.
本文探讨了宪法法官在提高宪法素养方面的作用,宪法素养被理解为与宪法秩序运作有关的知识。调查的一部分是描述性的,旨在确定法院今天用来培养公众或部分公众的这种素养的方式。这篇文章还提出了关于提高识字率的规范性问题。这些与“典型的”司法职能有什么关系?法院是否具备传播宪法知识的条件和装备?基于对司法实践的分析,我们认为非专业人士越来越多地被法院视为一个关键的支持者,因此有必要在考虑到包容性、可及性和透明度的价值观的基础上,制定特别策划的倡议。这主要体现在对社交媒体的使用和对法律设计思维的初步接受上。然而,现有的提高识字率的方式并非没有缺陷,我们应该认识到法院在促进大众宪法知识方面的实际期望是有限的。尽管在设计和提供宪法知识方面还有改进的余地,但从整体上看,现有的司法努力应该得到积极的评价,认为它们在满足人民对更多宪法知识的兴趣方面作出了有意义的贡献。
