Pragmatist View of Human Rights:Theoretical Explanations of China’s Human Rights Practice

The pragmatist view of human rights represents a the-oretical condensation of the Chinese practice in human rights devel-opment.In view of the problem of circular idling between rights and claims caused by the traditional view of human rights of focusing on contents and not valuing implementation,social segmentation caused by empty talks on interests and claims while ignoring social develop-ment,and the phenomenon of the issue of human rights completely becoming empty and useless political rhetoric,the pragmatic view of human rights,based on the fact that there is a gap between the claims and realization of human rights,emphasizes that instead of blindly ex-panding the types of rights in term of text,it is better to base on prac-tice and promote the maximum realization of existing rights through development.The pragmatist view of human rights attaches impor-tance to relevant economic,social and cultural basis to promote the realization of human rights,rather than only focusing on the claims themselves;it pays greater attention to enhancing the realization of rights,rather than the distribution of rights under the total limit;it ad-vocates more for cooperativism in the realization of rights,rather than confrontation.The pragmatic concept of human rights takes Marxism as its theoretical basis and the gene of practice and the dimension of development as its theoretical characteristics,and promotes the devel-opment of human rights through the realization of rights.

A study of benef its compensation mechanism for agricultural water rights trading under the restriction of ecological reconstruction:a case study of Shiyang River basin

Agricultural water allocation system based on priority rights has caused regional conflicts and downstream ecological degradation. It is the urgent need to introduce the concept of the initial water rights and establish benefits compensation mechanism to resolve such problems. This paper takes the Shiyang River basin as an example to calculate the opportunity cost of 0.97×10^8 m^3 of agricultural water encroached by the middle reach based on initial water right allocation system under which water is allocated in accordance with the ratio between agricultural population of two different regions concerning the downstream ecological reconstruction needs with Bio-economic model （BEM）. The results suggest that the total economic loss of Minqin County for ecological reconstruction amounts to 2.5 7×10^8 yuan, of which 1.68×10^8 yuan is ecological compensation, representing the economic loss Minqin suffered for ecological reconstruction which shouM burden beneficial groups of ecological reconstruction and 0.89 ×10^8 yuan is the economic loss Minqin suffered due to Liangzhou＇s encroachment behavior which should be compensated by Liangzhou.

Important Guarantee for The Basic Rights of Citizens——China's State compensation system

A common folk can sue an official? This was hardly possible in the past in China where the old feudalistic tradition dies hard. But this is really possible today when the common people cannot only sue officials and also get compensation if they are wronged. State compensation system It would be inevitable for government functionaries to cause damages to some citizens, legal persons or other organizations in the course of their management of the society. That is why China has established a State compensation system to compensate for the damages to citizens, legal persons and other organizations caused by government functionaries in exercising their power.

Double Misplaces of SOE＇s Ownership and the Loss of Claim Rights

Modem enterprise theory defines onterprise＇s ownership through the concepts of residual rights of control and claim to residue. It also believes that when they are in homologous, the ownership of enterprise can be arranged in the best place. When the enterprise is under normal run, shareholders are its owner, but when it goes into bankruptcy, claimers should take place of shareholders becoming the owner of the enterprise. But in China, the ownership of state-owned enterprise （SEE） goes into double misplaces. Management controls the enterprise under the normal run, which leads salaries to seize the earnings and share equities. The state who acts as the shareholder not only lessens investments but also fixes its earnings as much as possible. It gives up the claim to residue, which leads claimers to bear the enterprise＇s residual risks （when the residual income is negative）. When the enterprise goes into bankruptcy, as the shareholder, the state determines whether it can exist or not in order to maximize its own utility. Rights of claimer are being seriously damaged as they can be manipulated freely in the enterprise. Banks＇ bad debts are also in an extremely high level. In this article, the author will establish a model and use the relative data to do technical analysis.

Research on the System of Preliminary Registration in the Property Right Law of China

In property transactions,there are many reasons for the debt agreement and the property registration that cause some timeinterval,which can easily lead to acts of infringing upon the interests of creditors,for example, a thing sold to different people at the sametime.Because in a number of transactions,the effectiveness of each contract is independent of each other, and this can lead to the occurrenceof credit,and each claim has the function of mutual tolerance and equality.Then set up multiple claims on the same item,the ownership of theproperty is difficult to determine because there is no priority.In order to ensure the realization of coming property rights,it is particularly importantto apply for preliminary registration to the registration authority.

The Research On Protecting of Criminal Victims ＇ Rights

In the scales of the human rights protection which is not only meant to protect the basic rights of suspects, but also included the rights of victims, both are very important. However, during the execution process, the criminal legal relations are always simply to be defined as the relationship between the national authorities with the suspects except the victims. The victim＇ s benefits and aspirations are often ignored because they are viewed as a category of witnesses. Therefore, it is against the will of legals,which is better to give the victims the concerned parties to participants the processing, then their rights can be protected and got the coordinating compensation.

A Coherent Interpretation of Economic Compensation for Divorce:Taking Gender Equality as the Basis

Article 1088 of China's Civil Code grants the right to seek economic compensation in divorce cases.However,significant confusion persists regarding the values,interpretations of doctrine,and legal techniques related to this compensation.Various viewpoints have emerged on the nature of compensation,including notions of household wages,human capital investment,moral obligation,and damages recovery.Concerning compensation standards,there are proposals such as the“humanitarian assistance”theory,“household wages”theory,“expected interest”theory,or“loss of interest”theory.By examining the evolution,legal principles,and practical applications of economic compensation for divorce from a human rights perspective,we aim to establish the legal foundation for this compensation,grounded in principles of gender equality.It clarifies that the compensation essentially confirms and restores individual development opportunities and the right to development in the context of gender inequality.This approach aims to provide a more coherent interpretation of clauses of economic compensation for divorce in terms of legal purposes,legal doctrines,and legal techniques,thus offering a more reasonable perspective to reconcile theoretical and practical discrepancies in economic compensation for divorce.

Problems and Countermeasures to Improve Clinical Trial Participants’Compensation Rights in China

Objective To discuss the problems existing in the compensation of Chinese clinical trial participants and propose some suggestions for improving their rights.Methods The literature related to the participants’right to compensation at home and abroad was searched to study the inadequacy of the compensation right for clinical trial participants in China from four aspects:insurance system,principle of attribution,legal relationship and compensation regulations.Then,some suggestions to improve the participants’right to compensation were proposed.Results and Conclusion China lacks clear legal norms for participants’right to compensation.There are problems such as unclear insurance rules and compensation rules,unclear contractual relationships between parties to clinical trials,and no laws and regulations to rely on for attribution and compensation.China should issue regulatory guidelines related to the right to compensation of participants in clinical trials,so that all parties in clinical trials can have rules to follow if there is the occurrence of injury,which can better protect the rights and interests of the participants.

Interregional compensation for farmland protection:From the perspective of farmland allocation optimization

Interregional compensation for farmland protection(IRCFP)is a policy instrument for encouraging farmland protection through interregional fiscal transfer payments.Previous practices and studies on IRCFP have generally determined the payers and recipients of compensation based on the present distribution of farmland,and the compensation standards did not combine farmland development right value with farmland deficit and surplus,resulting in insignificant effects on farmland protection and even policy failure.Therefore,in this study,we proposed an interregional compensation mechanism for farmland protection based on farmland allocation optimization by considering 31 provincial-level regions in China.The results showed that(1)the determination of farmland surplus or deficit areas based on farmland allocation optimization met the regional construction land demand from the perspective of achieving food security.(2)The combination of the compensation value standard and cropland deficit and surplus had a positive effect on farmland protection.(3)Interregional compensation for farmland protection based on farmland allocation optimization can coordinate economic development,farmland protection,and ecological conservation.Finally,we discussed the rationality of interregional compensation for farmland protection based on farmland allocation optimization and designed the operation mechanism of IRCFP.

Land Expropriation and Constitutional Protection of Farmers' Rights

One of the reasons for many social tragedies resulted from land expropriation in China is failure of the constitution to bring into play its due functions in standardizing land expropriation power of the government and protecting farmers' rights.In the existing land expropriation system,government is not only a policy maker of land expropriation,but also a "referee" of dispute over land expropriation.Government' land expropriation power and land-expropriated farmers' rights become out of balance.As a result,some local governments do not attach importance to farmers' rights,making land-expropriated farmers dissatisfied and consequently leading to some social tragedies unfavorable for harmony and stability.To fundamentally settle disputes over land expropriation and realize win-win of farmers' right and state interest,it should bring into full play functions of the constitution through protecting farmers' right to participate in land expropriation and establishing constitution evaluation mechanism.

Empirical Analysis on Farmers' Willingness to Accept Compensation Whose Land is Expropriated——Based on Survey Analysis on Rural Households in 17 Provinces

According to the data of survey on farmers' land right from Rural Development Institute (the USA),Renmin University of China and Michigan S ate University,this paper conducts empirical analysis on farmers' willingness to accept compensation ho e land is expropriated and the related influencing factors by adopting Logistic model.The study indicates that the proportion of farmers' non-agricultural income,the level of economic development in the region,participation right and right to vote,exert conspicuous impact on farmers' satisfaction degr whose land is expropriated.In the provinces that are surveyed,most of the expropriated land is used for the public welfare project building,and in the current context of rapid urbanization,the conditions for defining public interests have not yet been put in place;the farmers in developed regions with more non-agricultural job opportunities express higher degree of satisfaction to the compensation for expropriated land;it is required to establish sound land expropriation compensation mechanism and bolster farmers' participation right,so as to offer fair and reasonable compensation for the farmers whose land is expropriated.

Third-Generation Human Rights＂ A Tragic Illusion

This paper deals with the applicability of human rights in general and of third-generation human right in particular. It offers an explanation of the pathetic status of human rights and suggests an alternative approach towards ＂third-generation＂ human rights, i.e., the rights of communities. It argues that since an immanent dichotomy exists between the political aspect of human rights--the fact that their addressee is the state government--and their universal aspect, i.e., the fact that they belong to everyone and their fulfillment is demanded by international bodies, very often their possessors cannot capitalize them. Third-generation human rights encounter additional problems. Very often their respondent--the state government----cannot comply with their demands, and according to the Kantian principle ＂Ought Implies Can,＂ they should be addressed towards someone who can in fact fulfill them. This article thus suggests addressing third-generation human rights towards the international community. This may exclude them from the current category of human rights, and create the need to establish a new category such as Community Rights. Such classification may bear the advantage of making these rights more applicable and accessible than they are at present.

耕地保护补偿制度的定位反思与规范重构

研究目的:探析耕地保护补偿制度的立法定位,准确把握耕地保护补偿制度的调整范畴,为正在制定的《耕地保护法》关于“国家建立耕地保护补偿制度”提供具体的立法建议。研究方法:规范分析法和制度目标分析法。研究结果:(1)耕地保护补偿制度在认识论层面,耕地权利设限与补偿的法权基础模糊;在本体论层面,耕地保护补偿的内涵外延尚存争议;在价值论层面,生态供益与增益的激励属性无从彰显。(2)耕地具有资源利益和生态利益一体两面共存的属性,《耕地保护法(草案)》相关条款仍是在“资源—管制”立法理念下的产物,存在显著构造缺陷。(3)以补偿目的为基准,该制度涵盖耕地资源存续补偿与耕地生态保护补偿;以补偿属性为基准,该制度包括耕地保护填平补偿与耕地保护奖励补助。研究结论:建议通过“一般规定+具体制度群”的立法模式在《耕地保护法》中完善耕地保护补偿制度,从而实现该制度维护粮食安全和生态安全的目标定位、价值导向和功能预设。

Chemical Weapon Victims Claim Compensation, Apology From Japan

Though blessed to be born in a peaceful era, Chi Shuai, a 17-year-old high school student in Qiqihar, northeast China’s Hei-longjiang Province, was unfortunate to fall victim to the Japanese invasion his grandparents witnessed in the 1930s and 1940s. On August 4, 2003, the boy and 43 others were poisoned by mustard gas leaked from five tanks dug out at a construction site. The five metal tanks were later proved to be left by Japanese invaders in 1945. Li Guizhen, a rag picker who carried away and incised the tanks, died despite all the medical efforts to save his life. The youngest victim in this incident was only eight years old.

民法典中生态环境损害赔偿责任体例疏释

《中华人民共和国民法典》第1234条、第1235条将生态环境损害赔偿责任拆分成“两类六种”责任形态并列规定,这一制度体例承袭民事责任以责任后果的形态分别列举的体例。从历史面向看,这一体例既受移植苏联在总则中规定民事责任的影响,也与计划经济时期公法责任冲击民法的历史过程相关。然而,民法典编纂过程中并未对这一体例予以矫正,反而将其应用到生态环境损害责任的立法中。从现实面向看,尽管这一体例的形成具有一定的偶然性,但随着对民法典的本土化研究,这一体例所体现的“权利-义务-责任”体系被赋予了取代“权利-请求权”体系的新功能,并且使生态环境损害赔偿规避了环境权的争论得以直接以责任的形式规定。但由于其遮蔽了责任后果与责任原因之间的关联,使分别列举的责任后果的适用逻辑不清晰,致使生态环境损害赔偿责任司法实务中存在赔偿不足或赔偿冗赘的现象。在当前制度环境下,欲在保持现有的生态环境损害赔偿责任体例的前提下理顺生态环境损害赔偿责任的适用逻辑,需在学理层面将其与责任原因相连结。

民法教学中的“一体化”思维模式培养

民法作为法学教学中最重要的一门专业课之一,一直面临一个不可回避的困难,即民法下属各分支领域之间的“思维壁垒”。为突破此困难,文章以请求权,这个民法理论和实践上的双重核心概念为支点,提出以“一体化”民事法律思维培养为中心的教学理念,并以“债权”,这个民法中最复杂、最特殊、最重要的分支为例,详细论证“一体化”思维模式培养的三个教学模块,即债权请求权的分类体系、债权请求权的抗辩体系和债权请求权的后置程序。同时根据上述内容改变传统的案例教学方法,形成一套能够适应“一体化”思维模式培养要求的案例教学方法。

第三人代缴税款的逻辑证成与制度构建研究

第三人代缴税款或能化解“先税后证”形成的僵局,或是税收法定下双方合意实现交易目的的结果,在有助于财政目的实现的同时并未影响税收公平分配功能的发挥。由于税款缴纳依其性质可代为履行,第三人代缴税款可以借鉴《民法典》第524条第三人代为清偿的制度和理论,舍去“合法利益”这一构成要件,将大量的代缴税款行为纳入第三人代缴税款规制中。以“目的合适说”构建第三人代缴税款制度,代缴税款后第三人享有“求偿权”而不是“代位权”;代缴税款前后的债权性质从公法性质转为私法性质,从社会功能型转为非社会功能型债权,第三人不享有专属于税务机关的税收优先权。第三人代缴税款制度具有回应税费承担条款争议和衡平纳税人权利之功能。其应在“以纳税人为主、第三人为辅”的纳税人主体意识基础上采用“设定技术”进行税法建构。同时其在民事领域的运用应限制在一定的范围内。

论生态环境损害赔偿制度的法理基础与规范构造

理解生态环境损害赔偿制度,须从环境治理体系和治理能力现代化的整体视域展开,同时,还要厘清生态环境与自然资源、生态环境损害与损害赔偿、赔偿请求权与赔偿诉权等核心概念。既有理论将自然资源国家所有权作为生态环境损害赔偿中的实体权利基础,然而,不论是公权说、私权说,还是二阶结构说、三层结构说,都不周延。因为生态环境损害赔偿制度存在二元构造,即赔偿请求权区别于赔偿诉权,赔偿请求权中基于自然资源所有权的物上请求权区别于侵害生态环境的侵权之债请求权,赔偿诉权中程序意义上的提起生态环境损害赔偿诉讼区别于实体意义上的救济自然资源所有权。这种二元构造客观上源于生态环境中单体自然资源的结构面向与整体生态功能的功能面向存在区分,其学理基础在于承继和发展了传统所有权的解释范式,其核心内容是对生态环境类的损害进行类型化。为此,该制度可从两个方面予以展开。长期而言,须仰仗制定中的生态环境法典规定生态环境损害赔偿的系列内容;当务之急,则是借助司法解释促进这些内容的适度法制化。

灾害救助中的集体利益与给付请求权

在灾害救助中,介于公共利益和个体利益之间的集体利益存在着如何界定与代表的难题。对灾害救助义务进行类型化分析,可识别出不同类型的集体利益,从而明确救助的授益指向。由此可进一步探讨补偿的四类给付请求权,即因灾害应对所作特别牺牲的补偿请求权、复建社会基础设施请求权、复建经济基础设施请求权,以及必要的程序性集体给付请求权。灾害救助与重建的公共基础设施具有极强的“属人性”特征,集体成员可将“个人权利及其实现的必要条件”作为其代表主张实体请求权的基础,并参与到救济程序中。集体给付请求权的实现未必需要“增量”的救助资源,只需要优化“存量”资源的配置。

债权人撤销权行使的法律效果

《民法典》第542条关于债权人撤销权行使效果的规定近年来争议颇大。根据《合同编通则解释》的最新规定,撤销权行使既可致使债务人的行为自始绝对无效,也可发挥债权人得请求相对人向债务人承担返还财产等法律后果的效力。根据我国现行强制执行规则,要使撤销权的请求力发挥一种不可替代的作用,应允许行使撤销权的债权人代位受领相对人向债务人提出的给付。为与代位权制度保持适度的规范体系平衡,行使撤销权的债权人可以通过《民法典》有关抵销的规定,代为受领相对人的给付而直接实现债权。当债务人为企业法人时,债权人撤销权的行使效果应注意与《企业破产法》规定的破产管理人撤销权的衔接适用。
