  • Statelessness and Nationality
    Department of Law Spring Term 2015 Master’s Thesis in International Law 30 ECTS Statelessness and Nationality The Case of Non-Citizens in Latvia Author: Maria Hellborg Supervisor: Professor Inger Österdahl Summary Following its restoration as an independent state in the 1990s, the new Republic of Latvia inherited a significant population of former citizens of the Soviet Union who resided legally in the country, but were not given Latvian citizenship. The situation of these "non-citizens" of Latvia remains an unresolved issue, which has bearing on international law by its close connection to the concepts of nationality and statelessness. The issue also holds importance because of its implications for Latvia as a country, and for its consequences in relation to regional stability. From a perspective of contemporary international law this thesis will examine whether the non-citizens of Latvia are to be considered as constituting stateless individuals. The thesis will also address the question of whether the Latvian non-citizens are, through their legal status, limited in their access to human rights. Finally the thesis will discuss how the issue of non- citizens affects regional stability through the Latvia-Russia relationship.

    review of central and east european law 42 (2017) 325-363 brill.com/rela The Right to a Name Versus National Identity in the Context of eu Law: The Case of Lithuania Aistė Mickonytė Russian East European Eurasian Studies Centre (reees), Faculty of Law, University of Graz, Graz, Austria <[email protected]> Abstract This article examines national regulations relating to the recognition of names in official documents by focusing on Article 21 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights, hav- ing particular regard to the judgment of the European Court of Justice in the case of Runevič-Vardyn and Wardyn. It also assesses the potential impact that this and other cases before the ecj and the European Court of Human Rights may exert on national minorities. The recognition of names is not regulated in European Union law; thus, the eu member states may freely determine the usage of names in official documents, as the state language represents a constitutional value and part of the national identity of many eu member states. Therefore, only regulation of names that causes excessive interference with the exercise of freedom of movement or respect for private and family life is unlawful under eu law. This issue will also be discussed in light of Article 4(2) of the Treaty on the European Union, by which the ecj assesses these types of interference with the eu’s duty to respect the national identities of its member states.

  • The Other Battleground of the Cold War the UN and the Struggle Against International Terrorism in the 1970S
    BThlumenaue Other Battleground of the Cold War The Other Battleground of the Cold War The UN and the Struggle against International Terrorism in the 1970s ✣ Bernhard Blumenau The life span of an epidemic such as international terrorism depends largely on the response of the international community. When terrorists come to realize that their actions harm only themselves and their cause, the epidemic will subside.1 William P. Rogers, U.S. Secretary of State, 1973 Introduction Discussions of the Cold War often focus on high-proªle developments like the Berlin crises, the Cuban missile crisis, the proxy wars in Africa and Asia, the emergence and breakdown of East-West détente, and the Strategic Defense Initiative of the 1980s. But the Cold War also witnessed an intense spate of international terrorism. Although the September 2001 terrorist at- tacks in the United States were unique in claiming nearly 3,000 lives, interna- tional terrorism during the Cold War also caused extensive bloodshed and stoked widespread fear. The live broadcast of the deadly terrorist attack against Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympics in 1972 highlighted the im- portance of the issue, as did the terrorist hijacking of a French passenger air- craft to Uganda’s Entebbe airport in 1976. Terrorism long predated the Cold War, but there was something special about it during the prolonged U.S.- Soviet standoff. With a largely bipolar division of the international system, most terrorists in one way or another accommodated themselves to the Cold War. The infamous terrorist groups in Italy, West Germany, and Japan all sug- 1.

  • Financing Convention’)
    CHAPTER THIRTEEN INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION FOR THE SUPPRESSION OF THE FINANCING OF TERRORISM 1999 (‘Financing Convention’) 1. Previous conventions dealt with tangible terrorist crimes, such as hijacking, hostage- taking and placing bombs in public places. The purpose of this Convention is to help prevent terrorism by cutting off the funds which terrorists need in order to carry out their crimes. Thus the Convention deals with matters which are at least once removed from terrorist acts, the provisions in earlier conventions about being an accomplice to terrorist acts not having been intended to cover financing. The Convention offences are therefore principal, not subsidiary, offences. This new departure caused some difficulties in the negotiations and drafting.167 2. The Convention was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on 9 December 1999 and entered into force on 10 April 2002. As of September 2002 it had 44 Parties, including 12 Commonwealth States. The text of the Convention is at page 274 below. The complete list of signatures, ratifications and accessions is at page 286 below. 3. The Convention follows closely the Bombings Convention with respect to provisions common to both conventions, and the reader is referred to the commentary on them in the previous chapter. Only provisions which differ from those in the Bombings Convention, or are new, will be described. (A comparative table of the articles of both Conventions, whether or not they are the same in substance, is at page 304 below.) Definitions 4. The definition of ‘funds’ was drawn deliberately wide so as to leave no loophole for bankers to exploit.
