少数民族习惯法与国家制定法的调适——以藏族“赔命价”习惯法为例

Adjustment of Relations Between Customary Law of Ethnic Groups and Constitutional Law——A Case Study of Tibetan Customary Law of "Compensation for Life"

坚持法制统一是我国宪法的基本原则。而在一些民族地区,发生了杀人、伤人案件时,依照"赔命价"习惯法处理的方式客观存在着。这种情况下,调整基层社会秩序的行为规则除了国家法外,少数民族习惯法在很大程度上也发挥着现实的作用。文章以藏族"赔命价"习惯法为例,探讨了在维护国家法制统一的前提下,如何来调适少数民族习惯法和国家法律的关系。

Unified legal system is the basic principle of our constitution. But when the case of killing, hurting happens, the practice of ＂compensating the life price＂ according to customary law in some ethnic regions is still common. Under such circumstances, the customary law of ethnic minority also plays a realistic role, to a great extent, to adjust civil order at the basic level besides constitutional law. In this paper, the author, taking Tibetan＇s customary law ＂ compensating for life price＂ as an example, tried to elaborate how to adjust relations between the customary law of ethnic minority and constitutional law on the premise of safeguarding national unified legal system.
