Abstract

The author argues there is no such thing as a "normal democracy", and that the decision made by the European Court of Human Rights in Sejdić-Finci case does not pay enough respect to consociational democracy as one of the legitimate forms of democracy. As human rights have to be balanced against one another, they also have to be balanced against other values, including peace and stability. As the practical solution in the election of the three-person collective Presidency in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the author suggests three separate electoral colleges in the three territorial districts that would settle the tension between the politically viable power-sharing arrangements and the demand to respect human rights. The author concludes that more moral modesty is in place when foreign political advice in democratic constitutional design is issued for the divided societies.
什么是正常的民主?
提交人认为,不存在所谓的“正常民主”,欧洲人权法院在Sejdić-Finci一案中作出的裁决没有充分尊重作为合法民主形式之一的联合民主。由于人权必须相互平衡,它们也必须与包括和平与稳定在内的其他价值相平衡。作为波斯尼亚-黑塞哥维那三人集体总统选举的实际解决办法,发件人建议在三个领土区设立三个独立的选举团,以解决政治上可行的权力分享安排与尊重人权的要求之间的紧张关系。作者的结论是,当向分裂的社会发出民主宪法设计的外国政治建议时,道德上的谦虚是适当的。
