Abstract The model of the Austrian Constitutional Court, with its Kelsenian origins, has been influential in the Cypriot constitutional context in a variety of intertwined and changing ways. The initial constitutional design followed the centralized and concentrated constitutional review by the Supreme Constitutional Court. The collapse of the bi-communal structure of the Cypriot system resulted in the application of the law of necessity and the establishment of a new Supreme Court with a simultaneous decentralization of constitutional review. At the time of writing a new reform initiative is underway, and the discussion about the Austrian model and Kelsen is revived. The continuous and varied influence from the Austrian prototype and interestingly the Kelsenian logic is assessed while recognizing the delicate idiosyncrasies of the Cypriot setting. The argument is that at neither stage the Austrian model was purely applied in Cyprus and the systemic adjustments were the result of improvisation rather than model adherence. This paper highlights the inconsistencies in the understanding of the Austrian model and explains the ‘modelling vertigo’.
奥地利宪法法院的模式,与它的凯尔塞尼起源,已经影响了塞浦路斯宪法的背景下,在各种相互交织和不断变化的方式。最初的宪法设计遵循了最高宪法法院的集中和集中宪法审查。塞浦路斯制度的两族结构的崩溃导致了必要法的适用和新的最高法院的设立,同时分散了宪法审查的权力。在撰写本文时,一项新的改革倡议正在进行中,关于奥地利模式和凯尔森的讨论重新开始。在认识到塞浦路斯环境的微妙特质的同时,评估了奥地利原型和有趣的凯尔森逻辑的持续和变化的影响。论点是,在这两个阶段,奥地利模式都没有完全应用于塞浦路斯,系统性调整是即兴发挥的结果,而不是遵循模式的结果。本文强调了对奥地利模式理解的不一致,并解释了“建模眩晕”。

ʻJudicial Activismʼ in Europe: Not a Neat and Clean Fit 欧洲的“司法激进主义”:并非整齐划一

Abstract Achieving a proper balance between enforcing the constitution and avoiding that the courts exercise a policy-making function that that is better left to legislatures is not without its difficulties. In the United States, this issue has gained substantially higher traction giving rise to intense activism talk. The relevant American literature has exerted a deep fascination abroad, also in the light of the current globalization of constitutional discourse. Yet, the article intends to advance two claims: first, it warns against an uncritical import of US-style notions of judicial activism to continental Europe; second, it argues that contemporary research on comparative judicial activism currently has low explanatory utility. The first section takes a glimpse of the relevant US literature ‒ both legal and empirical ‒ to shed light on the multidimensional essence of the concept. Section 2 proceeds to articulate three sets of tentative reasons why activism talk should be ʻhandled with careʼ. These reasons pivot on considerations around structure, culture, and type of decisions in continental Europe. After parsing out each aspect, an argument is made that US-style judicial activism is too dependent on the US form of government; too divisive and as such unsuitable to the different European legal professional culture; and misleading, as the way European constitutional courts display activism in their decisions is distinctive. Ultimately, the article argues for the avoidance of US-style notions of judicial activism in European constitutional discourse.
在执行宪法和避免法院行使决策职能(这一职能最好留给立法机构)之间取得适当的平衡并非没有困难。在美国,这个问题获得了更大的关注,引发了激烈的激进主义言论。在当前宪政话语全球化的背景下,相关的美国文献在国外产生了深刻的魅力。然而,本文打算提出两个主张:首先,它警告不要不加批判地将美国式的司法能动主义概念引入欧洲大陆;其次,当代比较司法能动主义研究的解释性较低。第一部分回顾了相关的美国文献——包括法律文献和实证文献——以揭示这一概念的多维本质。第2节继续阐明三组尝试性的理由,为什么行动主义的谈话应该“小心处理”。这些原因主要是围绕欧洲大陆的结构、文化和决策类型的考虑。在分析了各个方面之后,本文认为美国式的司法能动主义过于依赖于美国的政府形式;过于分裂,因此不适合不同的欧洲法律职业文化;而且具有误导性,因为欧洲宪法法院在其裁决中显示激进主义的方式是与众不同的。最后,本文主张在欧洲宪法话语中避免美国式的司法能动主义概念。

Abstract Hans Kelsen was a pro-democracy Austrian jurist, who, owing to his Jewish ancestry, was forced to flee to the United States of America after Adolf Hitler’s rise to power. His well-known theory of centralised constitutional review has not only influenced the design of many constitutional courts in Western Europe. It has also expanded to other parts of the world, including Thailand and Indonesia. Having determined to break with their authoritarian pasts, these two Southeast Asian countries decided to establish a Constitutional Court (in 1997 in Thailand and in 2003 in Indonesia), to consolidate their democratic transition as well as to safeguard democracy from attack. This decision inevitably brought the liberal-democratic assumptions underlying Kelsen’s model into competition with entrenched national ideologies traditionally exploited by political power holders and the military to preserve their hegemony – Thai-ness in Thailand and Pancasila in Indonesia. In contrast to Kelsen’s original theory, both these ideologies advocate strong leadership, national harmony and social hierarchy. This paper explores the extent to which the ideological hegemony of Thai-ness and Pancasila affects the performance and jurisprudence of the Thai and Indonesian Constitutional Courts respectively. An alternative understanding of the implementation of the Kelsenian-style Constitutional Court in the absence of its facilitative conditions will ultimately be proposed.
汉斯·凯尔森是一位支持民主的奥地利法学家,由于他的犹太血统,他在阿道夫·希特勒上台后被迫逃往美国。他著名的集中宪法审查理论不仅影响了西欧许多宪法法院的设计。它还扩展到世界其他地区,包括泰国和印度尼西亚。这两个东南亚国家决定与过去的独裁统治决裂,决定建立宪法法院(1997年在泰国,2003年在印度尼西亚),以巩固民主转型,并保护民主免受攻击。这一决定不可避免地将Kelsen模式下的自由民主假设带入了与根深蒂固的国家意识形态的竞争中,这些意识形态传统上被政治权力掌权者和军方利用,以维护他们的霸权——泰国的泰人主义和印度尼西亚的潘卡西拉主义。与Kelsen最初的理论相反,这两种意识形态都主张强有力的领导,国家和谐和社会等级。本文探讨了泰国和潘卡西拉的意识形态霸权分别在多大程度上影响了泰国和印度尼西亚宪法法院的表现和法理。最后将提出对在缺乏便利条件的情况下执行凯尔塞尼式宪法法院的另一种理解。

Abstract Since 2018, Mexico’s Supreme Court is facing a critical juncture. The new distribution of political power and the distinctive platform of the governing coalition endowed with massive popular support has forced the Court to redefine its role as a constitutional tribunal within unprecedented dynamics of constitutional politics. Such juncture can be summarized as being at crossroads, between desirable affirmation, strategic accommodation and concerning subordination.
2018年以来,墨西哥最高法院面临着一个关键时刻。政治权力的新分配和拥有大量民众支持的执政联盟的独特政纲,迫使最高法院在前所未有的宪政动态中重新定义其作为宪法法庭的作用。这种结合点可以概括为处于理想肯定、战略迁就和从属关系的十字路口。

National Human Rights Institutions: The Missing Link in Business and Human Rights Governance? 国家人权机构:企业与人权治理缺失的一环?

Abstract In 2014, the United Nations established a working group to elaborate an international treaty on business and human rights. In October 2018, negotiations on a first draft of the actually text took place. Besides this zero-draft, the working group released the draft text of an Optional Protocol containing several institutional arrangements. The Optional Protocol carves out a key role for national implementation mechanisms to promote compliance with, monitor and implement the treaty on business and human rights. With such an institutional arrangement, the future treaty would join the ranks of what can be called a new generation of human right treaties which institutionalize a top down with a bottom up approach aiming to address the disjuncture between rules and practice. The Optional Protocol indicates that this role of national implementation mechanism could be taken up by National Human Rights Institutions (NHRIs). This follows an increased recognition of NHRIs as significant actors in the business and human rights domain. Yet, the role of NHRIs in human rights governance in general, and in the business and human rights field in particular, is not yet well understood and undertheorized. The aim of this article is to add insight into the role of NHRIs in business and human rights by, first, describing some of the current activities undertaken by NHRIs in this field in order to analyze whether the role ascribed to them is actually being taken up and what challenges NHRIs face. From this perspective, it will be discussed whether the role foreseen in the Optional Protocol of the future business and human rights treaty holds promise.
2014年,联合国成立了一个工作组,旨在制定一项关于工商业与人权的国际条约。2018年10月,就实际文本的初稿进行了谈判。除了这份零草案外,工作组还公布了一项载有若干体制安排的任择议定书草案。《任择议定书》规定了国家执行机制在促进遵守、监测和执行工商业与人权条约方面的关键作用。有了这样一种体制安排,未来的条约将加入可称为新一代人权条约的行列,这些条约将自上而下的办法与自下而上的办法制度化,旨在解决规则与实践之间的脱节。《任择议定书》指出,国家执行机制的这一作用可由国家人权机构承担。在此之前,越来越多的人认识到国家人权机构是商业和人权领域的重要行动者。然而,国家人权机构在一般人权治理中的作用,特别是在商业和人权领域的作用,尚未得到很好的理解和理论化。本文的目的是深入了解国家人权机构在商业和人权领域的作用,首先,描述国家人权机构在这一领域开展的一些活动,以分析国家人权机构是否真正发挥了作用,以及国家人权机构面临哪些挑战。从这个角度出发,将讨论未来的商业与人权条约的任择议定书所预见的作用是否有希望。

Ius puniendi and Constitution: A Comparative (Canadian-German) Perspective 刑法与宪法:一个比较(加拿大-德国)的视角
IF 0.2 Q3 LAW Pub Date : 2020-11-01 DOI: 10.1515/icl-2020-0008
Abstract The paper inquires, from a comparative (Canadian-German) and human rights perspective, whether the State’s right (or even obligation) to punish can be derived from the Constitution. It argues that Constitutions usually assume this right but do not explicitly provide, let alone explain it (infra 1). However, protective (affirmative) duties may be derived from the rights part of a constitution (2) and these protective duties may serve as a basis for criminalization (3). While this is the position of the case law (especially the German one) and finds support in human rights law (4), it is argued that the reasoning is not fully convincing (5.1) and therefore further reflections are needed (5). First, it is necessary to make explicit the basic assumptions on the role of constitutions and judges on which the acceptance of a (constitutional) ius puniendi is predicated (5.1). Then, in a second step, the combination of a victim-based and effective remedy reasoning which best supports an obligation or at least ius puniendi is, relying on the German discussion, to be elaborated further (5.2).
摘要本文从比较(加德)和人权的角度探讨国家的惩罚权(甚至义务)是否可以从宪法中衍生出来。它认为,宪法通常假定这种权利,但没有明确规定,更不用说解释了(见下文1)。然而,保护(肯定)义务可能来自宪法的权利部分(2),这些保护义务可能作为刑事定罪的基础(3)。虽然这是判例法的立场(尤其是德国),并在人权法中得到支持(4)。有人认为,推理并不完全令人信服(5.1),因此需要进一步思考(5)。首先,有必要明确宪法和法官的作用的基本假设,(宪法)惩罚法的接受是基于这些假设(5.1)。然后,在第二步中,将根据德国的讨论,进一步阐述以受害者为基础的和最能支持义务或至少是惩罚法的有效补救推理的结合(5.2)。

Writing While Quarantined: A Personal Interpretation of Contemporary Comparative Constitutional Law 隔离中写作:当代比较宪法的个人解读

Abstract This Essay is a personal reflection on the state of scholarship in the field of comparative constitutional law. I draw parallels between the development of and reaction to ‘critical perspectives’ on domestic US comparative constitutional law today. I argue that the parallels have similar political roots, in concern that critical perspectives undermine the ability of constitutional law, whether domestic or comparative, to resist conservative and antiliberal tendencies. I conclude with some speculations about the source of the political commitments by scholars of comparative constitutional law, and in particular about the way the field’s overall cosmopolitanism affects scholarship on anti-cosmopolitan populisms.
本文是对比较宪法领域学术现状的个人反思。我在今天美国国内比较宪法的“批判观点”的发展和反应之间画出了相似之处。我认为,这种相似之处具有相似的政治根源,因为人们担心,批判观点会削弱宪法(无论是国内的还是比较的)抵抗保守和反自由主义倾向的能力。最后,我对比较宪法学者的政治承诺的来源进行了一些推测,特别是关于该领域的整体世界主义对反世界主义民粹主义的学术影响的方式。

Constitutional Disqualification: A Critique of English and English-Derived Law 宪法剥夺资格:对英语和英源法的批判

Abstract Many modern constitutional systems, despite the prevalence of adult suffrage, forbid certain classes of person from participation in the most important aspects of the democratic process, whether by withholding the vote from them or by denying them the right to hold office. While the former has received a considerable amount of attention in the literature, the latter has been comparatively neglected. The aim of the article is to redress this imbalance. It starts by offering, quite generally, a taxonomy of such bans. It then appraises, with particular reference to the constitutions of the English-speaking world, some of the most common grounds for disqualifying persons from holding elective office and the various purposes that these might be thought to serve. A major theme is the question whether some grounds of disqualification, notwithstanding their long history, can be justified.
许多现代宪政制度,尽管普遍存在成人选举权,却禁止某些阶层的人参与民主进程的最重要方面,无论是通过剥夺他们的投票权还是通过剥夺他们担任公职的权利。虽然前者在文献中得到了相当多的关注,但后者相对来说却被忽视了。本文的目的是纠正这种不平衡。它首先提供了一个相当笼统的此类禁令的分类。然后,本文特别参照英语国家的宪法,评估了一些最常见的剥夺候选人担任选举职位资格的理由,以及这些理由可能被认为是为了达到的各种目的。一个主要的主题是,一些取消资格的理由,尽管历史悠久,是否合理。

A major theme is the question whether some grounds of disqualification, notwithstanding their long history, can be justified.","PeriodicalId":41321,"journal":{"name":"ICL Journal-Vienna Journal on International Constitutional Law","volume":"53 1","pages":"167 - 197"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2020-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90546851","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}

Abstract Since becoming a potential candidate country for the EU accession in 2000 and in particular after being granted candidate status in June 2014, Albania has taken many positive steps to meet the necessary standards for its EU integration, through among other things, strengthening democracy and the rule of law and the harmonization of its national legislation with the acquis communautaire. In 2016, as part of the pre-conditions for the opening of the accession negotiations for the country, the Albanian Parliament passed a major justice reform which brought about many constitutional and legislative changes, as well as changes to the organization and functioning of justice institutions in Albania. A key component of the reform was the transitional re-evaluation of judges and prosecutors (also known as the vetting process). While the reform itself was supported and praised by the EU and international institutions, the vetting process has affected the functioning of the Albanian judiciary at all levels. The paralysis of the justice system due to the low number of judges who successfully passed the vetting process, as well as the resignation of many others, has significantly increased the backlog and the number of pending cases before the courts. Thus, the aim of the paper is to analyze the influence of the justice reform on individual’s right to a fair trial within a reasonable time in Albania and state’s obligations to guarantee this right as provided by the Constitution of Albania and the European Convention on Human Rights.
自2000年成为欧盟潜在候选国以来,特别是在2014年6月被授予候选国地位之后,阿尔巴尼亚采取了许多积极措施,通过加强民主和法治以及与共同体的国家立法协调等措施,满足其欧盟一体化的必要标准。2016年,作为开启该国加入欧盟谈判的先决条件之一,阿尔巴尼亚议会通过了一项重大司法改革,带来了许多宪法和立法改革,并改变了阿尔巴尼亚司法机构的组织和运作。改革的一个关键组成部分是对法官和检察官的过渡性重新评价(也称为审查程序)。虽然改革本身得到欧盟和国际机构的支持和赞扬,但审查过程影响了阿尔巴尼亚各级司法机构的运作。由于成功通过审查程序的法官人数不多,以及许多其他法官辞职,司法系统陷入瘫痪,这大大增加了积压案件和法院未决案件的数量。因此,本文的目的是分析阿尔巴尼亚司法改革对个人在合理时间内获得公平审判的权利的影响,以及阿尔巴尼亚宪法和欧洲人权公约规定的国家保障这一权利的义务。
