Cet ouvrage contient les rapports présentés lors du Séminaire UniDem organisé à Bled du 26 au 27 novembre 1999 par la Commission européenne pour la démocratie par le droit en coopération avec le Ministère des Affaires Etrangères de la Slovénie. OPENING SPEECH, Mr Vojko Volk Secretary General of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Slovenia I am honoured to open the seminar “Societies in Conflict – The Contribution of Law and Democracy to Conflict Resolution” and to welcome you on behalf of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Slovenia at this seminar. In the year of the 50th Anniversary of the establishment of the Council of Europe, The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Slovenia is pleased to host this seminar as one of Slovenia's contributions to this important anniversary. I would also like to use this opportunity to warmly thank the other co-organiser of the Seminar, namely the European Commission for Democracy through Law, i.e. the Venice Commission, for organizing the seminar jointly with us. The theme of the seminar is most relevant - it reminds us that half a century after the establishment of the oldest European organization European continent is far from being stable and peaceful. The agenda of our seminar addresses numerous recent or present-day conflicts or crisis situations, which threaten not only stability of these individual states but could also have wider potentially destabilization effects. It is therefore to be hoped that disussions during the next two days will offer both some insight into the root-causes of those conflicts as well as offer some guidance on how best to alleviate the suffering of those who are affected by them. And we need to continuously seek ways to better protect those most affected in societies in conflict, namely civilians and among them women and children as the ones who suffer most. The validity of human rights within societies in conflict is by no way diminished. On the contrary, non-derrogable human rights as well as international humanitarian law norms need to be fully observed by all, including in conflict situations. The period after the Cold War has marked a progressive trend towards recognizing that gross and massive violations of human rights are no longer domaine reservé , instead they are of concern to international community. Slovenia welcomes this progressive trend towards internationalization of human rights. The Council of Europe can contribute importantly to this evolving concept of human rights protection. The Council of Europe has at its disposal unique and highly developed human rights and minority-rights protection system. We see the present seminar as a further contribution to the effective functioning of this system at the regional level and equally so as its contribution of the Council of Europe to raising the human rights standards at the global, universal level. The Council of Europe continues to stand as a permanent reminder that democracy is not a virtue attainable once and for good. Even democracies of long standing are not fully fledged. Equally as important, the Council of Europe represents an inexhaustible source of knowledge and experience for new members, knowledge that is necessary in their period of transition. Slovenia, as one of the younger members of the Council of Europe – during this year we celebrated the 6 th anniversary of our membership, is fully aware of this. Throughout the period of our membership we continuously strived to become a fully committed member of the Organization, involving in this process not only representatives of government but also numerous Slovene experts active in different fields of the Organization's activities. Let me reiterate, that Slovenia fully supports all efforts by the Council of Europe to safeguard and further develop its fundamental principles, namely the rule of law, democracy, human rights and cultural diversity. In conclusion, on behalf of the Foreign Ministry I would like to wish all of you, distinguished rapporteurs and participants, fruitful discussions during the seminar. We are confident that seminar will offer some useful recommendations also with regard to relevant future endeavors. In particular, part of your discussions will undoubtedly be pertinent already for the up-coming International Conference on the Contribution of Constitutional Arrangements to the Stability of South Eastern Europe, organized by the Slovene Foreign Ministry, Faculty of Law in Ljubljana and Venice Commission that will take place in Brdo, Slovenia in the beginning of next week. OPENING SPEECH, Mr Serhiy Holovaty Member of Parliament, President of Ukranian Legal Foundation, Vice-President of the Venice Commission I have the privilege to open this seminar on behalf of the co-organiser, the Venice Commission, which proposed to the Slovenian authorities to jointly hold such a seminar. It is however not the Venice Commission itself which first had the idea for such a seminar but no lesser person than the former Secretary General of the Council of Europe, Mr Tarschys. When Mr Tarschys addressed our Commission in Venice, he proposed that we should look from a legal point of view at the problems confronting those societies where transition has not progressed smoothly but has been combined with or led to violent conflict. Our Commission is actively involved in several of these conflict areas such as Kosovo, Bosnia and Albania and we therefore very much welcomed this proposal. Several of these conflict areas are not far from here and Slovenia has had close historical ties with them. It seems therefore an excellent idea to hold such a seminar in Slovenia and we were extremely pleased when the Slovenian government kindly offered to co-organise this seminar as part of the Slovenian contribution to the 50 th anniversary of the Council of Europe. Our wholehearted thanks go to the Slovenian Ministry for Foreign Affairs which has with what I would consider as typical Slovenian efficiency organised this seminar here in Slovenia and which offers us generous hospitality. In this context I would also like to pay tribute to our Slovenian colleague, Mr Jambrek, who has been instrumental in bringing us together here in Bled. Since we meet here in Slovenia, it

The rapporteurs express satisfaction that local democracy in Slovenia complies with the provisions of the European Charter of Local Self-Government and provides options for citizen participation. The report takes note of the improvements as regards the distribution of shared state taxes, good practices concerning the integration of Roma minorities and the status of the capital city. It notes, however, that the consultation process between the local authorities and the central government has not improved, the fragmentation of municipalities remains an issue and the process of regionalisation is still blocked. This being said, a consensus between the political actors seems to have been reached on the necessity to set up regions in Slovenia. The Congress recommends that Slovenia increase the local

  • Croatia Maritime Border Dispute
    UNDER THE ISTRIAN SUN: NAVIGATING INTERNATIONAL LAW SOLUTIONS FOR THE SLOVENIA- CROATIA MARITIME BORDER DISPUTE CHRISTOPHER M. HARTLEY* ABSTRACT Twenty-eight years after Slovenia and Croatia exited the Federation of Yugoslavia on the eve of its bloody civil war, the two countries are still plagued by a maritime border dispute in the northern Adriatic Sea.1 Given that the countries were not in conflict with each other during the war, and given their similar goals for integration into the greater European and international communities, it is perplexing that they have not been able to resolve this dispute. The Bay of Piran (or, Piran Bay), located in the narrow Gulf of Trieste at the land border of the two countries and having a unique, heavily indented geography, is ground zero of this dispute.2 The pivotal issues are sovereign control of the bay itself and access for Slovenian vessels to international waters, a concept that is foreclosed under traditional law of the sea maritime border principles given the constraints of the bay and Slovenia’s miniscule coastline.3 *Assistant Professor, Department of Law, United States Military Academy, West Point. The author is an active duty Army Judge Advocate. The author was a United States military liaison to the Republic of Slovenia’s Ministry of Defense from October 1995 through July 1996. Numerous visits to the Slovenian and Istrian region since his residence there help broaden his unique perspective about this dispute. The views expressed here are the author’s personal views and do not necessarily reflect those of the Department of Defense, the United States Army, the United States Military Academy, or any other department or agency of the United States Government.
