对中国的国际法学研究而言,2004年是理论研究深深嵌入国际现实的一年。伊拉克战争、美军虐囚事件、日本遗弃化学武器事件、国际法院就巴以隔离墙问题出具咨询意见、《联合国反腐败公约》的签署,上述事件均引起国际法学界的关注与思考。学者们以专题报告、论文或访谈的形式提出问题,阐明观点,探讨对策,促进了中国当代国际法学研究的发展。 For the study of China’s international jurisprudence, 2004 is a year in which theoretical research is deeply embedded in international reality. The war in Iraq, the abuse of prisoners by the U.S. troops, the abandonment of chemical weapons by Japan, the issuance of the advisory opinion by the International Court of Justice on the Palestinian-Israeli Wall and the signing of the UN Convention against Corruption all attracted the attention and consideration of international law circles. Scholars raised questions in the form of special reports, essays or interviews, clarified their views, discussed countermeasures and promoted the development of contemporary international jurisprudence in China.
