Judicial Law Making, Separation of Powers, and Political Questions in the Netherlands

荷蘭之司法立法、權力分立與政治問題

近年來，荷蘭出現了將各種社會問題和政治糾紛訴諸法院的明顯趨勢，尤其是當公民認為政治部門（包括政府和議會）的決策對其造成了損害。這些情況下，司法機關被要求根據公開但模糊的司法標準來作出裁決。
本文分析荷蘭在司法立法與政治交界處的若干發展。問題在於「政治問題原則」在法院處理這類案件時是否適用。

There is a strong tendency in the Netherlands these days to bring all sorts of social issues and political disputes before the courts, especially when the political authorities (government and parliament) take a decision whereby citizens regard themselves to be victimized. The Judiciary is then asked to reach a verdict on the basis of an open and vague judicial standard.
This article analysis several developments in the Netherlands in the administration of justice at the interface of judicial law making and politics. The question arises whether the political question doctrine is suitable in dealing with these kind of case by the courts.
