Unanimously, the Supreme Court dismissed his petition. It was held that it would be an abuse of discretion for the District Court to defer the trial because in doing so, it would fail to take into account the interests of the individual citizen to bring her case to trial which could be held without impinging on the President39。馬克弗里曼的書 將文章的 重點(diǎn)放在真相委員會(huì) 的 經(jīng)驗(yàn) 上 ,唯一問題也許 是 審查 用來 判斷這些 成果的 適當(dāng)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)和原則 的 持久 效力 。因此,他不將嚴(yán)格的法律分析 帶入 一個(gè) 現(xiàn) 已基本運(yùn)作周邊 的 法律領(lǐng)域 ;而且,作為一個(gè) 為 過渡時(shí)期 正義而奮斗的 最大的國(guó)際組織成員,他帶來 了自己內(nèi)心 的 智慧 。這本書 與其說是一個(gè)學(xué)術(shù) 的 論文,不如說它是一本 手冊(cè),即使判例法和二次文獻(xiàn)提供了一些 數(shù)據(jù) 。本書給出了 專用的一章 來說明一個(gè)真相委員會(huì)應(yīng)注意的問題 。這些原則包括獨(dú)立性 和 公正性 , 問責(zé)制 ,資格, 不歧視 ,透明 度 ,相稱性 , 尊嚴(yán),無障礙和誠(chéng)意。他還提出了 真相委員會(huì) 受一些 實(shí)際情況的 影響 ,如時(shí)間 限制 ,資源 短缺 和 疑難案件 。弗里曼的 著作在此意義逐漸完成 ,但 它卻依然 沒有回答的基本問題:什么是這些機(jī)構(gòu) 的 最終目標(biāo) 。 此外, 本書 考慮 了 真相委員會(huì)在相對(duì)孤立于其他機(jī)構(gòu)和過 渡時(shí)期 的正義形態(tài) ,如刑事審判中, 為了 影響 了公正 的含義 , 弗里曼避免了一些最復(fù)雜的程序性問題 。這本書還 從政治上來講述 管理, 解決疑難問題。可以說, 承認(rèn) 具有普遍適用性 的 最低限度的程序, 是讓 全球法治 可 持續(xù) 發(fā)展的基礎(chǔ) 。 10 外文文獻(xiàn)翻譯原文 Truth Commissions and Procedural Fairness, Mark Freeman Ernst C.
