Abstract The paper discusses the problem of non-recognition of civil confiscation orders in Europe. Despite the breakthrough in international cooperation in the freezing and confiscation of crime proceeds in the criminal law domain, the formal approach in some European states destroys the potential of one of the most advanced instruments against crime proceeds—civil confiscation orders. The study offers a comparative analysis of the concepts of the confiscation of crime proceeds within and outside the frameworks of criminal proceedings. The analysis serves as the basis for the discussion of whether there is reasonable ground for the formal distinction between these concepts. The author concludes that the formal elimination of the civil confiscation orders has no substantial background. The analysis of both extended powers of confiscation in the criminal law domain in Europe and the Lithuanian Law on Civil Confiscation in the light of principles of proportionality and fair proceedings shows that civil confiscation regimes outside the framework of criminal proceedings may provide adequate safeguards to those provided in the confiscation regimes within criminal proceedings. The paper contributes to the discussion that is relevant to any European state that considers enacting or amending the civil confiscation legal framework or the legal regulation on recognising and executing crime proceeds confiscation orders. The paper elaborates on the approach that could enhance cooperation among European states in the prevention of organised crime.
摘要本文讨论了欧洲不承认民事没收令的问题。尽管在刑法领域冻结和没收犯罪所得的国际合作取得了突破,但一些欧洲国家的正式做法破坏了打击犯罪所得的最先进工具之一——民事没收令的潜力。该研究报告对刑事诉讼框架内外没收犯罪所得的概念进行了比较分析。该分析是讨论这些概念之间是否有合理的正式区别的基础。提交人的结论是,正式取消民事没收令没有实质性背景。根据相称性原则和公平程序对欧洲刑法领域的扩大没收权和立陶宛《民事没收法》进行的分析表明,刑事诉讼框架之外的民事没收制度可以为刑事诉讼中没收制度提供充分的保障。该文件有助于与任何考虑颁布或修订民事没收法律框架或关于承认和执行犯罪所得没收令的法律法规的欧洲国家相关的讨论。本文阐述了加强欧洲国家在预防有组织犯罪方面合作的方法。

Abstract The pandemic affected the access to justice situation in terms of the never rapid shift to digitalisation of legal services, and in this article, we evaluate whether artificial intelligence (AI) and its state-of-the-art technologies like machine learning and human language technologies have the potential to improve access to legal services. For this purpose, we not only examine and identify problematic areas, but also share the empirical data and insights of the practical application of AI technologies, especially human language technologies. In the first part of the article, we explore how the internet has created the foundations for a new paradigm of society including institution law. The second part of the article is devoted for analysis of challenges for access to justice in post pandemic world. In the third part, we elaborate on questions about technical feasibility, legal and moral acceptability of the digitalisation of legal services. Then follows the case analysis of the practical application of human language technologies in legal domain.
从法律服务从未快速转向数字化的角度来看,疫情影响了诉诸司法的情况,在本文中,我们评估了人工智能(AI)及其最先进的技术(如机器学习和人类语言技术)是否有可能改善获得法律服务的机会。为此,我们不仅研究和识别问题领域,还分享人工智能技术,特别是人类语言技术的实际应用的经验数据和见解。在文章的第一部分,我们探讨了互联网如何为包括制度法在内的一种新的社会范式创造基础。本文第二部分专门分析大流行病后世界中诉诸司法的挑战。第三部分阐述了法律服务数字化的技术可行性、法律和道德可接受性等问题。然后对人类语言技术在法律领域的实际应用进行了案例分析。

Problems of the Application of Recourse Against a Person Who Has Caused Damage by Illegal Acts in Criminal Proceedings: The Case of Lithuania 刑事诉讼中对违法行为人追索权的适用问题——以立陶宛为例

Abstract The need to compensate for material and moral damage caused to a person is a constitutional principle, which is implemented in Article 6.272 of the Civil Code of the Republic of Lithuania, establishing the non-contractual liability of the State for damage caused by pre-trial investigation officers, a prosecutor, a judge, or a court (hereinafter referred to as the “Officials”). Furthermore, Article 6.272(4) of the Civil Code provides that if the damage is caused by the intentional actions of the Officials, the State shall acquire the right of recourse in accordance with the procedure laid down by law. In Lithuania, the number of cases of compensation for damage caused by unlawful acts of the Officials is increasing, while the recourse procedure has not yet been applied even though 20 years have passed since the above-mentioned rule of the Civil Code came into force. The authors of the article search for the answer why the recourse procedure is not applied in practice by analysing the legal regulation of the regression and the content of intentional fault using theoretical, comparative, linguistic, historical, jurisprudence analysis, and related legal methods.
对个人造成的物质和精神损害进行赔偿是一项宪法原则,《立陶宛共和国民法典》第6.272条规定了国家对预审调查人员、检察官、法官或法院(以下简称“官员”)造成的损害承担非合同责任。此外,《民法典》第6.272(4)条规定,如果损害是由官员的故意行为造成的,国家应根据法律规定的程序获得追索权。在立陶宛,对官员的非法行为所造成的损害进行赔偿的案件数目正在增加,尽管《民法典》的上述规则生效以来已经过去了20年,但仍未适用追索程序。本文运用理论分析、比较学分析、语言学分析、历史学分析、法理学分析等相关法学方法,对故意过错回归的法律规制和内容进行了分析,以寻求追索程序在实践中不适用的答案。

Child Right to Privacy and Social Media – Personal Information Oversharing Parents 儿童隐私权与社交媒体——父母过度分享个人信息
Q3 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2021-12-01 DOI: 10.2478/bjlp-2021-0012
Anna-Maria Iskül, Kristi Joamets
Abstract Many parents (over)share personal details regarding their children in social media without thinking that this can negatively affect the wellbeing of their child and put him/her at risk. Furthermore, parents forget that they are not owners of their children’s data but just the legal representatives of the child with an obligation to act only for the best interests of the child. A child’s right to privacy and the protection of his/her data is regulated in international, EU and national level, however, this is not enough to avoid malpractice of the data of a child. This article analyses social media dangers and whether parental actions result in privacy and online safety violations focusing on legal regulations and their interpretations in international, EU and national level exploring child’s right to privacy, consent of the child and the right to be forgotten.
许多父母(过度)在社交媒体上分享孩子的个人信息,却没有想到这会对孩子的健康产生负面影响,使孩子处于危险之中。此外,父母忘记了他们不是孩子数据的所有者,而只是孩子的法定代表,有义务只为孩子的最大利益行事。儿童的隐私权和数据保护在国际、欧盟和国家层面都有规定,但这还不足以避免儿童数据的滥用。本文分析了社交媒体的危害,以及父母的行为是否会导致隐私和网络安全的侵犯,重点是国际、欧盟和国家层面的法律法规及其解释,探讨了儿童的隐私权、儿童的同意权和被遗忘权。

You Shall Not Pass: The Strategic Narratives Defining Russia’s Soft Power in Lithuania 《你不能通过:界定俄罗斯在立陶宛软实力的战略叙事》
Q3 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2021-12-01 DOI: 10.2478/bjlp-2021-0008

Abstract The article argues that states’ narratives about themselves and each other, shaped by the foreign policy decision-makers, create filters for the achievement of soft power goals. A state agent can shape narratives that can be rejected by the state’s target’s society because they would undermine dominating biographical and strategic narratives of the state target. The empirical analysis of the narratives of the president, minister of foreign affairs, and spokesperson of the MFA of Russia illustrates how Russia prevents itself from soft power expansion by “othering” Lithuania. At the same time, analysis of the narratives of presidents and the minister of the foreign affairs of Lithuania illustrates how they shield society from Russia’s narratives and, thus, soft power while searching for “sameness” with the Euro-Atlantic partners.
摘要文章认为,由外交政策决策者塑造的国家关于自身和彼此的叙事,为实现软实力目标创造了过滤器。国家代理人可以塑造可能被国家目标社会拒绝的叙事,因为它们会破坏国家目标的主导传记和战略叙事。对俄罗斯总统、外交部长和外交部发言人的叙述进行的实证分析表明,俄罗斯如何通过“他者化”立陶宛来防止自己的软实力扩张。与此同时,对立陶宛总统和外交部长的叙述的分析表明,他们如何在寻求与欧洲-大西洋伙伴“相同”的同时,保护社会免受俄罗斯的叙述,从而保护软实力。

Protection of Human Dignity at the End of Life of the Terminally Ill: Ethical and Legal Considerations about the Law and Policy on Advance Directives in Lithuania 在临终病人生命的尽头保护人的尊严:立陶宛关于预先指示的法律和政策的伦理和法律思考
Q3 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2021-12-01 DOI: 10.2478/bjlp-2021-0009

Abstract Recently amended legal regulations established the opportunity of application of advance directives for terminally ill patients in Lithuania. Provisionally, advance directives should enhance patient’s rights while making complex end of life decisions, however, implications for legal and moral responsibility to empower a patient’s autonomy are not clearly established yet. The article discusses the legal and ethical justification of implementation of advance directives and, in their absence, the surrogate decision making for the best interests of the patient and the best representation of the patient’s will. The reflections of recent empirical studies indicate the importance of a patient-centered approach that can provide the hints for harmonization of the national legal system, including a supportive decision-making culture, raising public awareness and confidence, more effective professional communication, and broader public involvement into end-of-life deliberations. Analysis of legal and ethical arguments imposes the conclusion that the specific question of respect of dignity in the end of life is not just a problem of health care management or the quality of health care services, but a fundamental challenge of human rights that should be discussed at the policy decision making level. Overall, we assume that application of advance directives should be elaborated in accordance with the case-law of the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), the ideals of welfare society, and other national laws as well as public interests.
摘要最近修订的法律法规为立陶宛的绝症患者提供了适用预先指令的机会。暂时而言,在做出复杂的临终决定的同时,预先指令应该加强患者的权利,然而,赋予患者自主权的法律和道德责任的含义尚未明确确立。文章讨论了执行预先指令的法律和伦理理由,以及在没有预先指令的情况下,为了患者的最大利益和患者意愿的最佳代表而做出的替代决策。最近的实证研究反映了以患者为中心的方法的重要性,这种方法可以为国家法律体系的协调提供线索,包括支持性的决策文化、提高公众意识和信心、更有效的专业沟通以及更广泛的公众参与临终审议。对法律和伦理论点的分析得出的结论是,生命终结时尊重尊严的具体问题不仅是医疗保健管理或医疗保健服务质量的问题,而且是人权的根本挑战,应在政策决策层面加以讨论。总的来说,我们认为预先指令的适用应根据欧洲人权法院的判例法、福利社会的理想、其他国家法律以及公共利益进行阐述。

The Good Faith Based Approach as a Legally Acceptable Intervention in Freedom of Contract to Protect Consumers’ Rights When Banks Unilaterally Close Accounts 以诚信为基础的方法:银行单方面关闭账户时对合同自由保护消费者权利的法律上可接受的干预
Q3 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2021-12-01 DOI: 10.2478/bjlp-2021-0014

Abstract This article assesses the permissibility of interference in private autonomy under the good faith principle when payment service providers unilaterally terminate contracts with consumers. The protection of the interests of such consumers is impeded by the formal application of legal rules and contractual terms, which ultimately contradicts public interests, including combating money laundering and terrorism financing. To overcome this conflict, the article proposes a doctrinal approach according to which the bank’s right to withdraw from the contract unilaterally should be limited by the systemic and teleological interpretation of regulating rules in combination with the general civil principle of good faith, which, by analogy with the original source of the problem, is called a good faith based approach. One of the general frameworks for implementing this approach is respect for freedom of contract, which is limited by the non-discussion presumption, modern civil law practice, and legal regulation of a consumer’s interests. According to research based on EU and Latvian law, legal doctrine, and case law, there are also valid reasons to intervene in private autonomy that should be recognized as legally acceptable for restoring justice and contractual equality in favor of consumers.
摘要本文评估了诚信原则下支付服务提供者单方面终止与消费者的合同时,对私人自治的干涉可容许性。法律规则和合同条款的正式适用阻碍了保护这些消费者的利益,这最终违背了公共利益,包括打击洗钱和恐怖主义融资。为了克服这一矛盾,本文提出了一种理论方法,即银行单方面解除合同的权利应受到规范规则的系统目的论解释的限制,并结合一般民事诚信原则,与问题的根源类比,称为诚信为基础的方法。实施这一方法的一般框架之一是尊重合同自由,这受到非讨论推定、现代民法实践和消费者利益的法律规制的限制。根据基于欧盟和拉脱维亚法律、法律学说和判例法的研究,也有正当的理由干预私人自治,这应该被认为是在法律上可以接受的,以恢复有利于消费者的正义和合同平等。

Accountability, Public Values, and Participatory Budgeting in Poland 波兰的问责制、公共价值观和参与式预算
Q3 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2021-12-01 DOI: 10.2478/bjlp-2021-0011

Abstract Among the different instruments of collaborative governance, participatory budgeting (PB) is of particular interest in Poland. PB includes the residents who co-decide about local public expenditure. PB proponents suggest that it has the potential to democratize budgeting but others point to the ease with which organized groups sometimes capture the process to serve their interests. The analysis shows that due to the weak axiological grounds that result from the infringements of all nodal public values, e.g. human dignity, sustainability, citizen involvement, openness, secrecy, compromise, integrity, and robustness, PB in Poland has little potential to enhance accountability for the protection of the common good.
摘要在合作治理的不同工具中,参与式预算编制在波兰尤为重要。PB包括共同决定当地公共支出的居民。PB的支持者认为,它有可能使预算民主化,但其他人指出,有组织的团体有时很容易掌握这一过程,为他们的利益服务。分析表明,由于侵犯所有核心公共价值观,如人的尊严、可持续性、公民参与、公开、保密、妥协、诚信和稳健性,导致价值论基础薄弱,波兰的PB在加强保护共同利益的问责制方面几乎没有潜力。

Abstract As the processes of globalization become more intense, the legislation adopted by international institutions occupies an increasingly important place in national criminal law, including crimes related to corruption. However, the regulation of some acts of corruption, in the context of sustainable development, raises questions about its compliance with criminal law principles. This article examines the requirements of international law to criminalize a promise and offer to give or accept a bribe in national law, recognizing that criminalization of such actions as completed criminal offense potentially violates the principle of ultima ratio. The article demonstrates that there is no unequivocal conclusion from international law that states must provide for liability for all acts of bribery as a completed criminal act. In order to implement the principle of ultima ratio, criminal liability for acts consisting essentially in the preparation or attempt to pay a bribe should not be enshrined in the same paragraph as bribery, where the bribe is exchanged by hand.
摘要随着全球化进程的日益激烈,国际机构通过的立法在国家刑法中占有越来越重要的地位,包括与腐败有关的犯罪。然而,在可持续发展的背景下,对某些腐败行为的监管,对其是否符合刑法原则提出了疑问。本条审查了国际法关于在国内法中将承诺和提供贿赂或接受贿赂定为刑事犯罪的要求,承认将此类行为定为已完成的刑事犯罪可能违反最后通牒原则。该条表明,国际法没有明确的结论,即国家必须规定将所有贿赂行为作为已完成的犯罪行为承担责任。为了执行最后通牒原则,不应将实质上是准备或企图行贿的行为的刑事责任规定在贿赂的同一款中,因为贿赂是手工交换的。
