anniversary of the Law Department of Yerevan State University. Yerevan State University Law Department represents the core legal doctrine of the country. The faculty is diverse, representing all areas of the legal discourse: Theory of Law, Constitutional Law, Administrative Law, Environmental Law, Criminal law, Criminal procedure, civil law, civil procedure, international law, EU law, etc. The legal culture and doctrine in Armenia is influenced by the continental legal tradition. However, since independence in 1991, Armenian legal system and doctrine has been developing intensively, also adopting legal traditions and concepts from common law system. The Constitution of Armenia has been adopted in 1995, which has been amended in 2005. Under the provisions of the Constitution, Armenian is a legal state, where the power is exercised based on the principle of separation powers and through democratic elections. The membership of the Republic of Armenia in different international organizations, such as the United Nations, Council of Europe, Organization of Security and Cooperation in Europe, etc. has expedited the development of the legal system of the country. The judicial and legal reforms are continuously implemented, to bring the legal and judicial system of the country in compliance with international commitments, assumed under different international treaties. In particular, the Armenian legal system is being heavily influenced by the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights. The Council of Europe Venice Commission of Democracy Through Law has a decisive role in the content of the constitutional law and relating laws and statute on different aspects. Armenia also implements the recommendations of the treaty bodies of the United Nations. The increased phase of legal, judicial and governance reforms require immediate reaction in the academia, in order to discuss the 7 issues and find effective solutions. Thus, one of the main objectives of the research should be the strong link with the real life. A part of faculty members also are attorneys, law professionals, governmental official, which helps to create this strong link between the academia and practice. The authors discuss contemporary issues of the Armenian legal system. The range of issues discussed includes problems of theory of law and legal history, constitutional law, criminal law, criminal procedure, civil law and procedure, international law, EU Law. The idea of publishing the present volume in English is to represent the Armenian legal doctrine to the foreign legal scholars and practitioners. It may foster international links between legal scholars and professionals internationally, for continuing legal research in a comparative and broader perspective. Many views, positions expressed by the authors may be interesting for a foreign

    In-Depth Review of the Investment Climate and Market Structure in the Energy Sector of the REPUBLIC of ARMENIA

    In-depth review of the investment climate and market structure in the energy sector of THE REPUBLIC OF ARMENIA ENERGY CHARTER SECRETATIAT 22 January 2015 In-depth review of the investment climate and market structure in the energy sector of THE REPUBLIC OF ARMENIA ENERGY CHARTER SECRETATIAT 22 January 2015 About the Energy Charter The Energy Charter Secretariat is the permanent office based in Brussels supporting the Energy Charter Conference in the implementation of the Energy Charter Treaty. The Energy Charter Treaty and the Energy Charter Protocol on Energy Efficiency and Related Environmental Aspects were signed in December 1994 and entered into legal force in April 1998. To date, the Treaty has been signed or acceded to by fifty-two states, the European Community and Euratom (the total number of its members is therefore fifty-four). The fundamental aim of the Energy Charter Treaty is to strengthen the rule of law on energy issues, by creating a level playing field of rules to be observed by all participating governments, thereby mitigating risks associated with energy-related investment and trade. In a world of increasing interdependence between net exporters of energy and net importers, it is widely recognised that multilateral rules can provide a more balanced and efficient framework for international cooperation than is offered by bilateral agreements alone or by non-legislative instruments. The Energy Charter Treaty therefore plays an important role as part of an international effort to build a legal foundation for energy security, based on the principles of open, competitive markets and sustainable development. The Treaty was developed on the basis of the 1991 Energy Charter.

Collins Associate Professor of Classics and World Religions Drew McDaniel Interim Director, Center for International Studies Abstract SOLAKHYAN, MARINA, M.A., June 2007, International Development Studies TRAFFICKING OF WOMEN. PROMOTING INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS NORMS THROUGH PREVENTION, PROTECTION, AND PROSECUTION (THREE “P’s”) IN ARMENIA (77 pp.) Director of Thesis: Elizabeth Collins This thesis analyses the incidence and nature of the trafficking in people in Armenia. The phenomenon of trafficking is considered to be one of the most pressing and complex issues in the contemporary world. The thesis adopts a human rights approach, contending the promotion of international human rights norms through a Three “P’s” policy that highlights the three most important aspects of any anti-trafficking program: Preventing exploitation from occurring in the first place; Protecting those identified as victims; and Prosecuting those who trafficked and exploited them. Alongside the analysis of the universal and regional instruments and mechanisms available to address the problem of trafficking in the human rights context, this thesis provides an overview of the emergence of Armenia’s NGO sector and its development and describes the NGO sector role and activity against trafficking in women for sexual exploitation.

    A. D. Sakharov Armenian Human Rights Foundation

    A. D. Sakharov Armenian Human Rights Foundation Monitoring Report On Working Conditions in First Instance Courts in Shirak, Gegharkunik, and Syunik Marzes (Regions) Studies were conducted and this Report was elaborated due to the generous financial and technical assistance of the OSCE Office in Yerevan and the Polish Helsinki Foundation for Human Rights Preface The mission of the A. D. Sakharov Armenian Human Rights Foundation is to support the establishment of a civil society in Armenia, to enhance legal awareness of the public, and to protect rights and freedoms of humans and citizens. The organization has three regional branches in Shirak (City of Gyumri), Gegharkunik (City of Gavar), and Syunik (City of Goris). In 2001, representatives of the three branches attended a series of “Monitoring and Human Rights” seminars held in Lusakert by the OSCE Office in Yerevan and the Polish Helsinki Foundation for Human Rights; as a practical follow-up to the seminars, and within the framework of the ongoing judicial reform, they have carried out a “Monitoring of Working Conditions in First Instance Courts” project in the Shirak, Gegharkunik, and Syunik regions of Armenia. The goal of the project was to explore the current conditions in which courts in the regions operate, because the working conditions and infrastructure of the third branch of government are crucial in terms of its stance, its improved role and authority, and guaranteeing the right of citizens to a fair and public trial within a reasonable time, as required under the existing laws. The concept of the judicial reform in the Republic of Armenia was formed under the Constitution adopted in 1995.
