  • Comments on the Law on Occupied
    Strasbourg, 4 March 2009 CDL(2009)045* Opinino no. 516/2009 Engl.only EUROPEAN COMMISSION FOR DEMOCRACY THROUGH LAW (VENICE COMMISSION) COMMENTS ON THE LAW ON OCCUPIED TERRITORIES OF GEORGIA Ms Angelika NUSSBERGER (Substitute Member, Germany) *This document has been classified restricted on the date of issue. Unless the Venice Commission decides otherwise, it will be declassified a year after its issue according to the rules set up in Resolution CM/Res(2001)6 on access to Council of Europe documents. This document will not be distributed at the meeting. Please bring this copy. www.venice.coe.int CDL(2009)045 - 2 - Introduction The Monitoring Committee of the Parliamentary Assembly has asked the Venice Commission to assess the law of Georgia “On occupied territories of Georgia” which was enacted on 23 October 2008. The reporters were provided with an English translation of the relevant law as well as with additional information, i.e. an extract of the Criminal Code of Georgia (Articles 322/1 and 344), an extract of the Georgian Law on General Education (Article 63/1) and an extract of the Georgian Law on High Education (Article 89/1). They were also sent “Information regarding the criminal charges being brought against foreigners having breached the law on occupied territories”. The “Law on Occupied Territories of Georgia” is based on the perception that the two break- away regions of the Republic of Georgia, Abkhazia and South Ossetia, are part of the Republic of Georgia, but are illegally occupied by the Russian Federation. This understanding is clearly expressed by the reference to the sovereignty and integrity of Georgia in the preamble to the law and the qualification of the presence of military forces as “illegal military occupation of the territory of a sovereign country”.

  • Academic Life at the University of Fribourg
    AMERICAN COLLEGE PROGRAM Université de Fribourg - Universität Freiburg Academic Life at the University of Fribourg Georges Python founded the Université de Fribourg / Universität Freiburg (Alma Mater Friburgensis) in the year 1889. It is a public cantonal university and is financed by the Canton of Fribourg, the Swiss Confederation and other non-university cantons. The Rector and the Vice-Rectors run the University. The current rector is Professor Astrid Epiney from the Faculty of Law. Other administrative organs of the University include the Senate, the University Assembly and the Commission de recours. The University is divided into 5 Faculties (Theology, Law, Economics and Social Sciences, Letters, Science) as well as 7 interdisciplinary institutes. The various Faculties are spread among the different campuses and buildings. The Science Faculty is located at the Pérolles-Plateau. Theology, Law, Arts and Economics are mostly at the main campus entitled Miséricorde, although a significant part of the Law Faculty resides at the Portes de Fribourg in a modern complex on the outskirts of town and at Beauregard. A sizeable part of the Economics and Social Sciences Faculty can also be found in the Regina Mundi building and on Pérolles. There are currently about 10,000 students in the various Faculties of the University. The demographic make-up of the student body is quite remarkable, in that it brings students from all over Switzerland and around the world (approximately 110 nationalities represented). Traditionally, according to the American system of education, the University of Fribourg was structured more like a graduate school. This means that most students were working toward the Licence - Lizentiat (similar to a Master's degree) or the Doctorat - Doktorat (Ph.D.) However, since the mid-2000s the University of Fribourg has been on the forefront of the implementation of the Bologna reforms.

  • Here Only Five Per Cent of the 168 Ad Hoc Panelists Who Served During the GATT Period Were Women
    Celebrating women in WTO dispute settlement The WTO dispute settlement system recently reached a milestone, when a woman was selected to serve on a panel for the 100th time since the establishment of the WTO in 1995. This represents an achievement not only for the WTO, but for international adjudication more generally. Traditionally, women have not been well represented on international adjudicative bodies. For example, during its more than 75 years of operation, almost all judges of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) have been male. Only four women have been elected to the ICJ, the first ever in 19951, and four women have served temporarily as ad hoc judges in specific cases before the Court.2 One woman, Dame Rosalyn Higgins, has served as President of the Court. The International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea has a shorter yet similar history. Only one woman has been elected to the Tribunal out of a total of 41 judges elected since August 19963, and no women have served temporarily as ad hoc judges in specific cases. The field of investor-state arbitration has not fared much better. A 2015 study found that only 25 of the 499 arbitrators appointed in such disputes between the 1970s and the end of 2014 were women, making up approximately five per cent of the total.4 The European Court of Human Rights features slightly higher numbers, with 37 (or approximately 16 per cent) of the 184 judges elected since 1959 being women.5 Ms Işıl Karakaş of Turkey is currently serving as the Vice-President of the ECHR, following in the footsteps of one other woman Vice-President.6 The same tradition was found in international trade adjudication, where only five per cent of the 168 ad hoc panelists who served during the GATT period were women.
