藏族习惯法司法适用的方式和程序研究——以四川省甘孜州地区的藏族习惯法为例

Application Modes and Procedures of Tibetan Customary Law in Courts:Focusing on Ganzi Regional Customary Law

藏族习惯法是从藏族原始社会的习惯、禁忌、图腾崇拜及特定的宗教信仰发展衍生而来的一种行为规范,它是指藏民在日常生活中加以确认或制定,并通过部落组织赋予其强制力或法律效力,由藏区各部落强制保证实施并靠盟誓约定的方式调解部落内外关系的具有法律效力的社会规范。在四川省甘孜州地区,藏族习惯法在司法审判中仍然发挥其作用。我们应发挥其积极作用,限制其消极作用。

Tibetan customary law is a sort of behavior norms derived from custom,taboo,totem and specific religious beliefs in Tibetan primitive society.Affirmed or accepted by the Tibetan people in their daily life and given force or validity by tribal organizations,it has developed into a kind of social norms with binding force enforced by Tibetan tribes to mediate their internal and external relations by way of pledge agreement.Tibetan customary law is now playing an active role in court trials in the Ganzi region,Sjchuan province.We should give full play to its positive effect while restraining its negative effect.
