Interpreting the Paris Agreement in its Normative Environment 在规范环境中解读《巴黎协定

International and regional courts are increasingly being asked to determine the rights and responsibilities of states in relation to climate harm. The context for such requests is that the 2015 Paris Agreement, comprising primarily procedural obligations and obligations of conduct, and premised on national determination, appears by itself radically insufficient to resolve the existential climate crisis the planet is facing. This article explores if this is indeed the case and argues that the 2015 Paris Agreement must be interpreted in its ‘normative environment’. The ‘normative environment’ includes the customary international law principle of harm prevention, other treaties, including human rights ones, and a set of principles of varying legal status but considerable operational relevance and guidance. This article examines specific obligations from the 2015 Paris Agreement and seeks to concretize and strengthen them based on this interpretative approach. While such strengthened obligations might yet be insufficient to decisively resolve the climate crisis, these nevertheless reflect a richer account of international legal resolve relating to climate change—one that is premised on an understanding of international law as a seamless web of inter-locking obligations rather than of treaties functioning as atomistic reflections of state consent in that area.
越来越多的国际和地区法院被要求确定国家在气候损害方面的权利和责任。此类请求的背景是,2015 年《巴黎协定》主要包括程序性义务和行为义务,并以国家决心为前提,其本身似乎根本不足以解决地球面临的生存性气候危机。本文探讨了事实是否确实如此,并认为 2015 年《巴黎协定》必须在其 "规范环境 "中加以解释。规范环境 "包括预防损害的习惯国际法原则、包括人权条约在内的其他条约,以及一系列法律地位不同但具有相当实际意义和指导意义的原则。本文研究了 2015 年《巴黎协定》中的具体义务,并试图在此解释方法的基础上具体化和加强这些义务。虽然这些强化的义务可能还不足以决定性地解决气候危机,但它们反映了与气候变化有关的国际法律决心的更丰富的解释--其前提是将国际法理解为一个由相互锁定的义务组成的无缝网络,而不是将条约作为国家同意在该领域的原子反映。

Religious Expression and Exemptions in the Private Sector Workplace: Spotting Bias 私营部门工作场所的宗教表达与豁免:发现偏见

Courts tasked with ruling on religious freedom claims in the private sector workplace have been faced with the following challenge: too weak a protection of religious freedom and it will become meaningless; too strong, and individual freedom will be stifled. Recently, courts on each side of the Atlantic have, respectively, leant towards each of these two extremes. In Europe, courts have afforded minimalist and, as I will argue, too restrictive a protection to religious interests. Whether out of deference to state constitutional traditions or economic interests, they have often undermined the protection of religious freedom. Conversely, in the United States, the Supreme Court has granted a maximalist and, as I will argue, excessive protection to religious interests. The article will demonstrate the flaws of each approach. It will unravel the main three types of bias that underlie these extreme positions, namely the state, the economic and the religious bias.
负责裁决私营部门工作场所宗教自由诉求的法院一直面临着以下挑战:对宗教自由的保护太弱,就会变得毫无意义;太强,个人自由就会被扼杀。最近,大西洋两岸的法院分别倾向于这两个极端。在欧洲,法院为宗教利益提供了最低限度的保护,正如我将论证的那样,这种保护过于严格。无论是出于对各州宪法传统的尊重,还是出于经济利益的考虑,它们都经常破坏对宗教自由的保护。相反,在美国,最高法院对宗教利益的保护是最大化的,正如我将论证的那样,是过度的。本文将说明每种方法的缺陷。文章将揭示导致这些极端立场的主要三种偏见,即国家偏见、经济偏见和宗教偏见。

Contracting in the Public Interest? Re-examining the Role of Planning Obligations in Contemporary Town Planning Processes 公共利益的契约?重新审视规划义务在当代城市规划过程中的作用

This article investigates how local authorities in England seek to compel property developers to mitigate the impact of property development on local communities and on local infrastructure needs through the use of planning obligations made by agreement with developers pursuant to section 106 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990. I pose three important new questions about these ‘section 106 agreements’. How do these agreements contribute to a development culture in which private developers do not always perform their public policy obligations? How does the presence of ostensibly binding promises in these agreements facilitate the exercise of regulatory decision-making in planning and property development processes? How do local authorities manage the implementation of novel developer obligations designed to shape broader community relations? I answer these questions by examining two case study development projects. In doing so, I highlight the limited role that these agreements have as an instrument for ordering the ‘private’ relations between a local authority and a developer. I then look outside the private ordering function of these agreements to scrutinise the public-facing work they do. Here, I highlight how a section 106 agreement carries a powerful expressive force, despite its weakness as a private ordering device, that developers and local authorities can use to justify contentious development proposals involving coercive compulsory purchase powers and potentially adverse equalities implications. The article thus adds to what is already known about the use and implementation of planning obligations, and sketches a research agenda that would inform debate about the future of this area of planning practice.
本文探讨了英格兰地方政府如何根据 1990 年《城乡规划法》第 106 条的规定,通过与开发商达成协议,利用规划义务来迫使房地产开发商减轻房地产开发对当地社区和当地基础设施需求的影响。关于这些 "第 106 条协议",我提出了三个重要的新问题。这些协议是如何促成一种私人开发商并不总是履行其公共政策义务的开发文化的?这些协议中表面上具有约束力的承诺是如何促进在规划和房地产开发过程中行使监管决策的?地方政府如何管理旨在塑造更广泛社区关系的新型开发商义务的履行?我通过研究两个案例研究开发项目来回答这些问题。在此过程中,我强调了这些协议作为地方政府与开发商之间 "私人 "关系的排序工具所发挥的有限作用。然后,我跳出这些协议的 "私人 "排序功能,对其面向公众的工作进行审查。在此,我强调了尽管第 106 条协议作为一种私人排序工具存在缺陷,但它仍具有强大的表达力,开发商和地方政府可以利用它来证明涉及强制购买权和潜在不利平等影响的有争议的开发提案的合理性。因此,这篇文章补充了人们对规划义务的使用和执行的了解,并勾勒出一个研究议程,为关于这一规划实践领域未来的辩论提供信息。

Atrocity’s Glass Booth 残暴的玻璃展台
IF 1.2 2区 社会学 Q2 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2024-04-27 DOI: 10.1093/clp/cuae004

This paper foregrounds the defendant as a central actor in trials for mass atrocity. It excavates the practices and scripts of these trials to argue that they are driven by an impulse to construct flat perpetrator portraits. Perpetrators who enter into atrocity’s glass booth are transformed into defendants who are hostis humani generis. Perpetrators who escape this mythification are still viewed as perpetual perpetrators, the moment of their participation in atrocity radiating outwards to demarcate the juridical bookends of their lives. These lives, moreover, are seen as consisting of active choices representing uncompromised agency. The paper suggests that these portraits are tied to international criminal law’s attempt to justify itself as a normative project that claims to act in the name of humanity. It concludes that international criminal law’s aims would be better realized by viewing defendants as equal and engaged members of the community of humanity.
本文强调被告是大规模暴行审判中的核心角色。本文挖掘了这些审判的实践和脚本,论证了这些审判是由构建扁平化犯罪者肖像的冲动所驱动的。进入暴行玻璃展室的犯罪者被转化为具有人性的被告。逃过这一神话的犯罪者仍被视为永久的犯罪者,他们参与暴行的时刻向外辐射,划定了他们生命的司法终点。此外,这些人的生活被视为由积极的选择组成,代表着不妥协的能动性。本文认为,这些肖像与国际刑法试图证明其作为一个声称以人道名义行事的规范项目的正当性息息相关。本文的结论是,如果将被告视为人类社会中平等和参与的成员,将能更好地实现国际刑法的目标。

The paper compares and evaluates newer laws on sexual assault in Germany (2016), Sweden (2018) and Spain (2022). It focuses on the main challenge for law reform in this field: the complexity of consent-based rules. Before drafting new offence descriptions, the variety of models of consent should be analysed and their advantages and disadvantages considered. Lawmakers should also pay attention to situations that either make consent impossible or endanger the validity of factual consent.

Responsibly Buying Artificial Intelligence: A ‘Regulatory Hallucination’ 负责任地购买人工智能:监管幻觉
IF 1.2 2区 社会学 Q2 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2024-04-06 DOI: 10.1093/clp/cuae003
Albert Sanchez-Graells
As part of its ‘pro-innovation’ approach to artificial intelligence (AI), the UK has left public sector AI procurement and deployment to ‘regulation by contract’ based on thin guidance. Borrowing from the description of AI ‘hallucinations’ as plausible but incorrect answers given with high confidence by AI systems, I argue that this is a ‘regulatory hallucination’: an incorrect answer to the challenge of regulating the procurement and use of AI by the public sector. The pretence that public buyers can ‘confidently and responsibly procure AI technologies’ can generate individual harms and broader negative social effects as the public sector ramps up AI adoption and accumulates a potentially significant stock of AI deployments across all areas of public sector activity. I sketch an alternative strategy to boost the effectiveness of the goals of AI regulation and the protection of individual rights and collective interests through the creation of an independent authority.
作为其 "支持创新 "的人工智能(AI)方法的一部分,英国将公共部门的人工智能采购和部署交由基于薄弱指导的 "合同监管"。借用对人工智能 "幻觉 "的描述,即人工智能系统在高度自信的情况下给出了看似合理但不正确的答案,我认为这是一种 "监管幻觉":对公共部门采购和使用人工智能的监管挑战给出了不正确的答案。假装公共采购者可以 "自信、负责任地采购人工智能技术",可能会造成个人伤害和更广泛的负面社会影响,因为公共部门会加速采用人工智能,并在公共部门活动的各个领域积累大量潜在的人工智能部署。我勾画了一个替代战略,通过建立一个独立的机构来提高人工智能监管目标的有效性,并保护个人权利和集体利益。

This article explores the problem that both modern private equity (PE) firms, and collateralised loan obligation (CLO) lenders to PE portfolio companies, have incentives to avoid a formal restructuring of PE portfolio companies in financial distress. The author is concerned that this may lead to negative social costs for suppliers, employees, customers and even government agencies... She explores how and why the problem arises, and the ways in which corporate and corporate insolvency law might be able to respond to it. Some suggestions are made, but it is accepted that any solution involves a sensitive balance that needs to be approached with considerable care.

Competition Law and Policy in the Global South: Power, Coercion and Distribution 南半球的竞争法与政策:权力、强制与分配
2区 社会学 Q2 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2023-11-04 DOI: 10.1093/clp/cuad011

Abstract Countries in the Global South have adopted competition laws and pursued competition policies very similar to countries in the North. This arrangement can be traced to various coercive powers at play—from trading partners in the North, international organizations to development banks, among others. As a result, the adopted laws are often unsuitable to the local needs of the countries in the South and their enforcement policies are often shaped by global pressure. This has alienated countries in the Global South from pursuing competition enforcement policies that could be empowering to their firms, consumers and communities at large. One way to resist and challenge these coercive powers is to pursue alternative competition policies, not alien to the Western nations themselves. In these alternative configurations, competition laws are squared with goals of industrialization and distributive equality. Pursuing these alternative competition goals challenges the dominance of the static model of competition policy aiming to achieve allocative efficiency. Examples from many places around the world are illustrated to show how competition policy, at crucial times of their development, were broadened to encompass an industrial agenda. The latter, more suitable for countries in the South, is discussed as a means of counter-coercion. It is discussed alongside an elaborate program for distribution to assure that the benefits of industrialization do not befall upon only a few. The aim of such a distributive program, built into competition enforcement, is to bring social justice concerns within the purview of competition policy.
全球南方国家采用了竞争法,并奉行与北方国家非常相似的竞争政策。这种安排可以追溯到起作用的各种强制力量——从北方的贸易伙伴、国际组织到开发银行等等。结果,所通过的法律往往不适合南方国家的当地需要,其执行政策往往受到全球压力的影响。这使得全球南方国家疏远了竞争执法政策,而这些政策本可以赋予它们的企业、消费者和整个社区权力。抵制和挑战这些强制性权力的一种方法是追求替代竞争政策,而不是西方国家自己。在这些可供选择的配置中,竞争法与工业化和分配平等的目标是一致的。追求这些替代性竞争目标挑战了以实现配置效率为目标的静态竞争政策模型的主导地位。本文列举了世界各地许多地方的例子,以说明竞争政策在其发展的关键时期是如何扩大到包括工业议程的。后者更适合于南方国家,作为一种反胁迫手段加以讨论。与此同时,还讨论了一项详细的分配计划,以确保工业化的好处不会只落在少数人身上。这种分配计划的目的是将社会正义问题纳入竞争政策的范围。

The Need for a Criminal Division of the High Court? 高等法院是否需要设立刑事审判庭?
2区 社会学 Q2 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2023-10-10 DOI: 10.1093/clp/cuad010
David Ormerod
Abstract It seems to be assumed by some that ‘crime is easy’. Not the commission of it, nor the securing of ill-gotten gains from it, but the study, practice, and judging of it. In this paper, I challenge what might be a significant consequence of such an assumption—the systemic impacts on the appointment and deployment of High Court judges and the structure of the High Court. I argue that criminal judging at both first instance and on appeal is distinctive and demands a cadre of expert judges. I explore two core criminal roles performed by High Court Judges—one as a first-instance trial judge trying the most serious offence of murder, and the other sitting in an appellate capacity reviewing applications for leave to appeal from the Crown Court. This leads me to conclude that the current system of recruitment to the King’s Bench Division (KBD) of the High Court fails to guarantee that all KBD judges who sit in crime have the ideal level of expertise in criminal judging to equip them for that role.

有些人似乎认为“犯罪很容易”。不是委托它,也不是从中获取不义之财,而是对它的研究、实践和判断。在本文中,我对这种假设可能产生的重大后果——对高等法院法官的任命和部署以及高等法院结构的系统性影响提出了质疑。我认为初审和上诉的刑事审判都是独特的,需要有一批专家法官。我探讨了高等法院法官所扮演的两个核心刑事角色——一个是审判最严重的谋杀罪行的初审法官,另一个是以上诉身份审查刑事法院上诉许可的申请。这使我得出结论,高等法院国王庭庭目前的招聘制度未能保证所有审理犯罪案件的国王庭庭法官都具有理想的刑事审判专业知识水平,使他们能够胜任这一角色。反过来,这促使人们考虑一系列解决办法,其中最根本的办法是建议在高等法院设立一个刑事司,以及这样做可能带来的好处。

Not the commission of it, nor the securing of ill-gotten gains from it, but the study, practice, and judging of it. In this paper, I challenge what might be a significant consequence of such an assumption—the systemic impacts on the appointment and deployment of High Court judges and the structure of the High Court. I argue that criminal judging at both first instance and on appeal is distinctive and demands a cadre of expert judges. I explore two core criminal roles performed by High Court Judges—one as a first-instance trial judge trying the most serious offence of murder, and the other sitting in an appellate capacity reviewing applications for leave to appeal from the Crown Court. This leads me to conclude that the current system of recruitment to the King’s Bench Division (KBD) of the High Court fails to guarantee that all KBD judges who sit in crime have the ideal level of expertise in criminal judging to equip them for that role.

Complete and Effective Data Protection 完整和有效的数据保护

Abstract Data protection law is often invoked as the first line of defence against data-related interferences with fundamental rights. As societal activity has increasingly taken on a digital component, the scope of application of the law has expanded. Data protection has been labelled ‘the law of everything’. While this expansion of material scope to absorb the impact of socio-technical changes on human rights appears justified, less critical attention has been paid to the questions of to whom the law should apply and in what circumstances. The Court of Justice has justified an expansive interpretation of the personal scope of the law in order to ensure ‘effective and complete’ data protection for individuals. This article argues that the attempt to make the protection offered by the law more ‘complete’ risks jeopardising its practical effectiveness and raises doubts about the soundness of the regulatory approach to data protection. In the quest for effective and complete protection, it seems that something must give.
数据保护法经常被援引为防止与数据相关的对基本权利的干扰的第一道防线。随着社会活动越来越多地带有数字成分,法律的适用范围也扩大了。数据保护被贴上了“万有法则”的标签。虽然扩大物质范围以吸收社会技术变化对人权的影响似乎是合理的,但对法律应适用于谁和在什么情况下适用的问题却没有给予足够的重视。为了确保对个人的“有效和完整”的数据保护,法院已经证明了对法律个人范围的广泛解释是合理的。这篇文章认为,试图使法律提供的保护更“完整”有可能危及其实际有效性,并对数据保护监管方法的合理性提出质疑。在寻求有效和彻底的保护的过程中,似乎必须做出一些让步。
