  • 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”.

  • 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.

  • Comments on the Role of the Opposition
    Strasbourg, 25 May 2009 CDL-DEM(2009)002* Or. Engl. Study no. 497/2008 EUROPEAN COMMISSION FOR DEMOCRACY THROUGH LAW (VENICE COMMISSION) COMMENTS ON THE ROLE OF THE OPPOSITION by Ms Angelika NUSSBERGER (Substitute Member, Germany) *This document has been classified restricted on the date of issue.

This document will not be distributed at the meeting. Please bring this copy. www.venice.coe.int CDL-DEM(2009)002 - 2 - Legal assessment and standards concerning the role of the opposition in democratic regimes The Parliamentary Assembly has elaborated a comprehensive document on “Procedural guidelines on the rights and responsibilities of the opposition in a democratic parliament”. It is based on a comparative analysis of existing rules on the role, function and rights of the parliamentary opposition and also takes into account documents on topical discussions on new rules on this subject. Resolution No. 1601 (2008) summarizes procedural guidelines, but nevertheless stresses the necessity of a study on the role of opposition in modern democratic society by the Venice Commission. The Venice Commission had to deal with the role of parliamentary opposition when assessing the Draft Law on the Parliamentary Opposition in Ukraine (Opinion No. 422/2006, CDL-AD(2007)015. In this opinion the Commission doubts and reserves its position on “whether it is appropriate to regulate all questions concerning the opposition in a single law and, if so, what procedural guarantees in favour of the opposition need to exist in respect of the adoption of such a law by the majority (Para.
