西北少数民族法制建设中习惯法因素的整合

On Convention Law Adjustment in Northwest Minorities' Legal System Construction

少数民族习惯法作为一种隐性的规则长期存在,对于实现少数民族地区社会秩序化发挥着重要的作用,但是,根深蒂固的民族习惯法同时也制约着少数民族地区法制建设的进程。国家法在进入这些地区时受到的某些"冷遇"与我们不能正确对待民族习惯法不无关系。因此,西北少数民族地区要想真正走上法治化道路,必须重新整合习惯法,赋予它正确的地位。但是,西北独特的地理环境、经济发展、历史传统和民族现状,决定了西北地区的习惯法带有一些独特性。同时,西北的习惯法与国家法冲突的表现和原因也与西南不尽相同。整合西北少数民族习惯法,应当从研究它的独有特征入手,通过具体分析习惯法与国家法冲突的独特表现和原因,寻求西北少数民族法制建设的相对合理的途径。

Conventional law as latent rules has long existed among minorities and has played a significant part in building up a social order in the northwest minority areas.But as a deep-rooted unwritten law it also restricts the process of the legal system construction in these areas where the positive law failed to be welcomed partly due to the incorrect attitude towards the minority conventional law.Therefore,in order to walk up to the way of constitutionality, the northwest minority areas should adjust the conventional law again and give it a proper position.Nevertheless, it has special features because of its distinctive geography,economic development,historical tradition and minority status quo.In addition,its conflict with the positive law and the causes for the conflict are different from those in the southwest.With the view of adjusting the minority conventional law in northwest China,the paper puts forward a comparatively reasonable way to explore the northwest minority legal system construction through analyzing its speciality,its conflict with the positive law and its causes.
