In March, the ICC issued an arrest warrant for Putin, meaning that International Criminal Court (ICC) member states, including South Africa, are obliged to arrest him and transfer him to The Hague for trial if he sets foot on any of their territories. But the recent indictment of the South African government for its public refusal to execute an arrest warrant as a member of the International Court of Justice has again raised questions about international crime and the willingness of states to get involved in it. This paper attempts to discuss the relevant issues of universal jurisdiction from the perspective of case studies, normative analysis and social effects of legal norms, and finally concludes that universal jurisdiction lacks the necessary elements to form customary international law at the level of legal norms, and universal jurisdiction fails to achieve its purpose at the level of practical effects, and lacks the rationality of existence. At the same time, given the current reality of the exercise of universal jurisdiction, this paper suggests that the types of international crimes should be strictly limited, the universal jurisdiction should be separated from states, and the authority of the exclusive jurisdiction of the international court for international crimes should be established.

With the emergence of a new round of scientific and technological revolution characterized by intelligence, China has made rapid progress in the field of artificial intelligence. However, this new concept of artificial intelligence has not yet been fully integrated into the existing legal system, leading to legal dilemmas and systemic obstacles such as unclear attribution of the work, uncertain subject of the right, and unclear path of protection for the content generated by it. The traditional copyright protection model, concerning the generation of artificial intelligence, shows obvious maladaptation in terms of copyright generation, protection period, and content. Hence, there is a need to explore a copyright protection model suitable for artificial intelligence, namely the neighboring rights protection model, while considering relevant legislative practices from other countries dealing with AI-generated content. This paper aims to investigate the neighboring right protection model, which is an adaptable copyright protection model for AI-generated objects, and to draw insights from overseas legislative practices on AI-generated objects.

Taking the Weibo platform as an example, this paper deeply discusses the role of new media in public cognition. First of all, by introducing the basic characteristics and functions of the Weibo platform, it also expounds its unique advantages in information transmission. Secondly, the paper analyzes the satisfaction degree of the Weibo platform's demand for obtaining knowledge and information, including information diversity, convenience, and interactivity.

This paper presents solutions and suggestions for these problems. The government and relevant departments should strengthen information monitoring and screening, and reduce the spread of rumors by providing reliable information sources. New media platforms need to take effective measures to improve the credibility of information, such as establishing clear norms and mechanisms for news publication and strengthening the verification of news authenticity. It is also crucial for Weibo platforms to provide valuable and influential content. Platforms should encourage the production and dissemination of quality content while reducing the interference of spam and low-quality content.

This paper selects the first, second, and third chapters and some parts of Chapter Four and Seven of the book Teacher-Made Assessment as the material for translation practice, aiming at summarizing and analyzing the translation strategies of -ly stance adverbs in the academic text. Academic texts are mainly used to convey information and are characterized by professionalism, objectivity, interactivity, and conciseness. They are formal, precise, and concise in wording, clear in expression, strong in logic with many complex and long sentences. This paper analyzes three categories of -ly stance adverbs: epistemic, attitudinal, and style adverbs. Epistemic stance adverbs emphasize accuracy, confidence, seriousness, and persuasiveness. Translation techniques include grammatical adjustment and semantic enrichment, showing the accuracy of academic texts. Attitudinal adverbs are a means of value judgment and emotional expression. Their translations reflect the interactive and explicit characteristics of the academic text. Two translation techniques, namely selection of proper attitudinal words and split of sentences, are adopted. Style stance adverbs refer to how information is given. Their translations reflect the professional and standard characteristics of the academic text. Translation techniques of omitting -ly stance adverbs and using formulaic expression are adopted. This paper furthers the investigation into the translation of academic text from the new perspective of -ly stance adverbs. This paper is expected to provide references for translators and readers of academic texts, and to deepen people’s understanding of -ly stance adverbs.
