评FG Hemisphere Associates LLC诉刚果民主共和国及其他人案

备受关注的FG Hemisphere Associates LLC诉刚果民主共和国及其他人案在经历了一系列审判后,由香港终审法院做出终局裁决。香港终审法院根据全国人民代表大会常务委员会的释法,判定香港特别行政区应与中央政府的国家豁免规则保持一致,因而香港法院对刚果民主共和国无司法管辖权。本案将＂一国两制＂制度下国家豁免规则的适用问题以及中国的国家豁免立法问题提上了议程,并为国家豁免立法及其区际适用问题提供了一定的解决路径和实践经验。显然,目前中国坚持绝对豁免立场,且适用于香港特别行政区。然而,考虑到中国已经签署《联合国国家及其财产管辖豁免公约》,且采取限制豁免并不必然对中国不利,因此中国可以考虑适时转变态度。     

Hong Kong can develop its capitalist system only under the framework of the “One China, Two Systems” policy

Hong Kong is an administrative and economic entity under the sovereignty of the People’s Republic of China, and has developed to be an international center for finance, trade and shipping for history reasons and international favor. Essentially, the local political system adopted by Hong Kong is that of a non-sovereign state as well as a non-political entity. In terms of its makeup, the political system is neither entirely occidental nor completely oriental but an administrative dominative system developed according to Hong Kong’s peculiar characteristics, which has been proved to be effective. It was true when the United Kingdom held the reins of power and it still continues since its territory was returned to the People’s Republic of China. This paper is delivered in the conference “The Evolution of ‘One Country, Two Systems’ in Hong Kong and Macao: Implication for Canada” held by University of Waterloo, Canada on March 24, 2006.     

《香港基本法》解释的权限和程序问题探析

《香港基本法》是全国的宪法性法律,是香港特区的根本法。为了落实"一国两制"的精神,《香港基本法》的规定其解释权属于全国人大常委会,同时《香港基本法》规定全国人大常委会可以授予香港各级法院附条件的《香港基本法》解释权,由于二者的立场、视角、法律传统和利益存在着一定的分歧,因而在立法解释模式和司法解释模式之间存在一定的冲突与碰撞。《香港基本法》在解释主体、权限和程序设定方面存在一些问题,在实践中也引发了宪法危机,因此,应该针对存在的问题,逐步加以完善。     

区际商事仲裁裁决的相互承认与执行——从执行内地与香港《安排》若干问题谈起

香港、澳门回归后,内地与港澳之间区际商事仲裁裁决的相互承认与执行不再适用过去的法律依据,内地与香港已达成《关于内地和香港特别行政区相互执行仲裁裁决的安排》,与澳门至今未达成有关承认与相互执行仲裁裁决的安排。本文通过分析自1999年6月以来执行《安排》的问题,探讨区际间商事仲裁裁决的相互承认与相互执行的途径。     

表达自由的理念与限度——香港特别行政区终审法院国旗案与美国最高法院焚烧国旗案比较研究

表达自由权是《香港特别行政区基本法》所确认的公民基本权利之一。该权利在香港特别行政区的司法实践中表现出与美国宪法上的表达自由权很强的可比性:香港特别行政区终审法院与美国联邦最高法院所秉承的表达自由基本理论以及所适用的法律解释方法和司法审查标准等都极为相似;与此同时,在个案处理上,两个法院又结合各自不同的社会背景保持了必要的差异性。香港特别行政区终审法院在基本法的框架下已经初步形成了比较鲜明和稳固的表达自由权的法理。     

State Immunity from Measures of Constraints for the Property of Foreign Central Banks: The Chinese Perspective

As China's first law concerning state immunity, the Law on JudicialImmunity from Measures of Constraint for the Property of ForeignCentral Banks of 2005 grants special protection to the propertyof foreign central banks in the People's Republic of China (PRC),including Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR) andMacau SAR. Although the Law itself does not reflect the restrictiveimmunity doctrine, the PRC's signature of the United NationsConvention on Jurisdictional Immunities of States and ThesisProperty in 2005 might signal a message that the PRC has switchedfrom its traditional absolute immunity stance to accept relativeimmunity in international law. The Law also reiterates the traditionalstance to the principle of reciprocity in state immunity.     

全面正确认识全国人大常委会有关政制发展的决定

2004年4月6日全国人大常委会对香港基本法附件一第7条和附件二第3条作出解释；当月26日又作出关於2007年行政长官和2008年立法会产生办法有关问题的决定；2007年12月29日再作出关於2012年两个产生办法及有关普选问题的决定。用最近吴邦国委员长的工作报告上的话，就是“全国人大常委会根据香港基本法的立法原意，对基本法及其附件有关条款作出解释并通过相关决定，对保障基本法正确实施、推进香港民主健康发展、维护香港长期繁荣稳定发挥了不可替代的作用。”     

我国破产程序域外效力的实例分析——评香港高等法院对“广信”破产程序的承认

香港与中央的“违宪审查”协调

在香港基本法的设计中 ,中央与香港均拥有基本法解释权及审查权。如果两者不能在权限、管辖、程序及释义方面达成一定的默契 ,就会引发宪制危机。本文在分析两地法治传统和宪制模式的差异以及香港基本法对“违宪审查权”的制度设计后 ,提出中央和香港应本着相互理解和宽容的原则 ,按照中国宪法体制与英美法制传统相结合的思路 ,在基本法所设计的中央与特区分权的制度框架内进行协调 ,以避免和化解这种冲突。

《香港特别行政区基本法》第18条的形成过程及其规范含义

基本法是“一国两制”基本方针的具体化、法律化,为特别行政区制度的运行提供了坚实的法律基础。作为法律文本体系,基本法由不同规范组合,构成不同的功能体系。当基本法的规范与现实出现冲突时,我们要回归基本法本身,寻求规范依据,并通过对规范的合理解释,建构文本与实践互动的运行机制。《香港特别行政区基本法》第18条是富有特色的条款,其规范具有综合性、开放性与动态性,勾接不同的价值,在文本体系内设置合理平衡国家主权、安全与特别行政区高度自治权的规范依据。基于基本法的特殊地位,基本法具体条文的形成具有特定的背景与规范内含,需要以宪法解释学的方法加以诠释,为其实施提供规范依据。

香港特区要务实地贯彻落实＂普选时间表＂

“香港”是“中国香港”，“一国两制”就是一个以国家为大前提的政治制度的设计。有理性的香港人都无法抛弃热爱祖国的情结。因为历史原因。回归後香港享有“高度自治”和“港人治港”的特殊优待。这在世界上任何一个国家或地区都是不多见的。所以《基本法》引入“爱国、爱港”的术语以表达出在特区内还应该贯彻国家至上的原则。在国家授权管治的形式下。港人肯定而且必须一切以国家为主。

The review of the development of legal science in China (1949�C2009)

The legal science of the People’s Republic of China has experienced the stages of formation, reinstating and innovation over the past 60 years. Today, the legal field is flourishing. While the construction of different branches of law has been accomplished, there is still a long way to go in realizing democracy and rule of law in China. Jurists need to develop a heightened awareness of their social responsibility and the urgency with which to adapt the development of law to Chinese societies. Only under these circumstances can we effectively promote democracy and rule of law in China.     

对行政机关滥用职权的司法审查

Through the analysis on three typical cases, it is believed why courts rarely make judgments directly based on the review criteria of“abuse of power” pursuant to article 54 of the Administrative Litigation Law is mostly that the relevant legal provisions are not clear. Besides, in hearings, judges are more inclined to use“conversion techniques”. Meanwhile, it is further revealed of the issues existing in the substantive review of courts.
