    IMPLEMENTATION REVIEW: SIX-POINT CEASEFIRE AGREEMENT BETWEEN RUSSIA AND GEORGIA THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE ON AMERICAN FOREIGN POLICY AND DAVID L. PHILLIPS August 2011 THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE ON AMERICAN FOREIGN POLICY The National Committee on American Foreign Policy was founded in 1974 by Professor Hans J. Morgenthau and others. It is a nonprofit activist organization dedicated to the resolution of conflicts that threaten US interests. Toward that end, the National Committee identifies, articulates, and helps advance American foreign policy interests from a nonpartisan perspective within the framework of political realism. American foreign policy interests include: • Preserving and strengthening national security; • Supporting countries committed to the values and the practice of political, religious, and cultural pluralism; • Improving U.S. relations with the developed and developing worlds; • Advancing human rights • Encouraging realistic arms-control agreements; • Curbing the proliferation of nuclear and other unconventional weapons; • Promoting an open and global economy An important part of the activity of the NCAFP is Track I ½ and Track II diplomacy. Such closed-door and off-the-record endeavors provide unique opportunities for senior U.S. and foreign officials, think-tank experts, and scholars to engage in discussions designed to defuse conflict, build confidence, and resolve problems. Believing that an informed public is vital to a democratic society, the National Committee offers educational programs that address security challenges facing the United States and publishes a variety of publications, including its bimonthly journal, American Foreign Policy Interests, that present keen analyses of all aspects of American foreign policy. v THE INSTITUTE FOR THE STUDY OF HUMAN RIGHTS AT COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY The Institute for the Study of Human Rights (ISHR) was established in 1978 at Columbia University as the Center for the Study of Human Rights (CSHR).

The problem is difficult to solute due to the modern complex geopolitical situation in the Caucasus region, wrong decisions of the past and historical documents and cartographic sources with the inadequately shown reality.

  • Establishment of Conservation Status of Acipenseridae Family in Georgia``
    CEPF FINAL PROJECT COMPLETION REPORT I. BASIC DATA Organization Legal Name: NGO - Black Sea Eco Academy Project Title (as stated in the grant agreement): ``Establishment of Conservation Status of Acipenseridae Family in Georgia`` Implementation Partners for this Project: Project Dates (as stated in the grant agreement): 1 September, 2006 – 30 September, 2008 Date of Report (month/year): December, 2008 II. OPENING REMARKS Provide any opening remarks that may assist in the review of this report. The Acipenseridae family is a unique component of the global biodiversity for being a relic fishes, forming the group of giant anadromous fishes and characterized with high commercial as well as conservation importance. Over the last decades the species of Acipenseridae family are suffering from extensive anthropogenic impact throughout their distribution range in general and in the Black Sea in particular. Their stocks have diminished significantly and species are included in the red data list of number of countries. The Georgian Black Sea coast was always considered as an important area of occurrence of Acinepseridae species Including Beluga (Huso Huso), Russian Sturgeon (Acipenser gueldenstaedtii colchicus), Ship sturgeion (Acipenser nudiventris), Star sturgeon (Acipenser stellatus), Atlantic sturgeon (Acipenser sturio). Due to dramatic decline in number Acipenseridae species have been assigned with the conservation status (red list, etc) in the Black Sea countries. However in Georgia at the moment only one of them is listed in the red data book. No measures are taken for saving and recovery of stocks; moreover there is no reliable up-to-dated information about the current status of their populations. The particular attention should be paid to the Atlantic sturgeon.

  • A Historical-Geographic Review of Modern Abkhazia
    A Historical-Geographic Review of Modern Abkhazia by T. Beradze, K. Topuria, B Khorava Abkhazia (Abkhazeti) – the farthest North-Western part of Georgia is situated between the rivers Psou and Inguri on the coast of the Black Sea. The formation of Abkhazia within the borders is the consequence of complicated ethno-political processes. Humans first settled on the territory of modern Abkhazia during the Paleolithic Era. Abkhazia is the place where Neolithic, Bronze and Early Iron Eras are represented at their best. The first Georgian state – the Kingdom of Egrisi (Kolkheti), formed in 15. to 14. century BC, existed till the 2.century BC. It used to include the entire South-Eastern and Eastern parts of the Black Sea littoral for ages. The territory of modern Abkhazia was also a part of the Egrisi Kingdom. Old Greek historical sources inform us that before the new millennium, the territory between the rivers Psou and Inguri was only populated with tribes of Georgian origin: the Kolkhs, Kols, Svan-Kolkhs, Geniokhs. The Kingdom of Old Egrisi fell at the end of the 2.century BC and was never restored till 2.century AD. Old Greeks, Byzantines and Romans called this state - Lazika, the same Lazeti, which was associated with the name of the ruling dynasty. In 3. and 4. centuries AD, entire Western Georgia, including the territory of present Abkhazia, was part of this state. Based on the data of Byzantine authors, the South-East coastline part of the territory – between rivers Kodori and Inguri - belonged to the Odishi Duchy. The source of the Kodori River was occupied by the Georgian tribe of Misimians that was directly subordinated to the King of Egrisi (Lazeti).
