ANITA ANAND: Welcome to the third of this year’s Reith Lectures with the former Supreme Court Justice Jonathan Sumption. |
欢迎来到今年睿思第三次讲座听前最高法院法官Jonathan Sumption演讲。 |
|
We are in Edinburgh’s Parliament House, a building which dates back to the 16th century. This place has long been home to the Court of Sessions, the highest court in Scotland, and here in the great hall we are dominated by a stunning stained glass window depicting the moment King James V confirmed the Court of Sessions right here in 1532. This is a place, therefore, steeped in regal and legal history, an entirely suitable setting for Jonathan Sumption to continue his series of lectures on the role of the law in our public and private life. |
今天我们在爱丁堡议会大厦，始建于16世纪，这里长期以来一直是苏格兰最高法院——苏格兰高等民事法院所在地。在大厅里，令人惊叹的彩色玻璃窗俯视着我们，上面是国王詹姆斯五世于1532年在此确认高等法院的画面。因此，这饱含法律和法律历史的地方，非常适合Jonathan Sumption继续他关于法治与生活公私两面的讲座。 |

So far Jonathan has questioned what he calls “law’s expanding empire” and discussed how best democracy can accommodate political difference. Today he will be taking a look at human rights, in particular the role of the European Convention on Human Rights and the Strasbourg Court. The lecture is called Human Rights and Wrongs. |
迄今为止，Jonathan质疑了他所谓法律帝国的扩张，并讨论了民主应该如何容纳政治差异。今天，他将着眼于人权，特别是欧洲人权公约和斯特拉斯堡法院的角色。讲座的题目是“人权及其滥用”。 |
