  • The Annexation of Crimea and Attempts to Justify It in the Context of International Law
    LITHUANIAN ANNUAL STRATEGIC REVIEW 2015-2016 Volume 14 11 Erika Leonaitė * Institute of International Relations and Political Science, Vilnius University Dainius Žalimas** Faculty of Law, Vilnius University The Annexation of Crimea and Attempts to Justify It in the Context of International Law The article carries out an assessment of the “reunification of Crimea with Russia” from the point of view of contemporary international law and examines the arguments of Russian legal scholars who try to deny the annexation, i.e. the acquisition of territory by force. The assessment reveals recent changes in the interpretation of the principle of the self-determination of peoples in the Russian official position and legal doctrine, compared to the interpretation of this principle prevalent before the International Court of Justice adopted the Advisory Opinion on Accordance with International Law of the Unilateral Declaration of Independence in Respect of Kosovo. The analysis carried out in the article identifies the arguments and strategies that are employed in seeking to offer an -in terpretation of international legal norms that corresponds to the political interests of the Russian Federation. The examination reveals how new content is attached to international legal concepts in the works of Russian legal scholars who construct a position favourable to the Russian Federation, and in what way legal arguments are combined with statements and theoretical constructs that are irrelevant from the point of view of contemporary international law, thus deleting the boundaries between legal and non-legal reasoning and producing a pseudo-legal narrative that serves the po- litical interests of Russia. Introduction The annexation of part of the territory of Ukraine – namely, the Crime- an peninsula – was unexpected by both the international and academic com- munity.

The Kremlin's press service issued a statement on March 17, 2019; "On March 18, 2019, Russian President Vladimir Putin will visit Crimea and Sevastopol" - marking five years since Crimea "rejoined" Russia. However, Kyiv and the West slammed the move as an "illegal" annexation, leading to sanctions against Russian individuals and entities. 1/4 During the visit, Putin will receive reports about the launch of the Balaklava and Tavria thermal power plants and participate in the unveiling ceremony of the Port electric substation in the city of Taman via videoconference. Both the power stations were at the center of an international scandal after German conglomerate Siemens said its power turbines had been installed there without its knowledge and in violation of EU sanctions banning the supply of energy technology to Crimea. In Moscow, city authorities are organizing a street festival a stone's throw from the Kremlin called "Crimean Spring" that hosts jazz concerts, cooking workshops, and a photography exhibition.

  • “Una Mala Paz Es Todavía Peor Que La Guerra” Cornelio Tácito Más Que
    “Una mala paz es todavía peor que la guerra” Cornelio Tácito Más que dar una bienvenida, alinicio de este trayecto, debo dar una felicitación a todos y cada uno de ustedes por atreverse a ser parte de los pocos agentes de cambio que quedamos en pie, ante la gran cantidad de situaciones relevantes que vivimos día a día, directa o indirectamente vinculadas con nuestro entorno. Simular una reunión de OTAN no es tarea fácil y mucho menos al vernos involucrados en una situación de emergencia en la que podemos estar al borde del inicio de una Tercera (3era) guerra mundial. Deseo expresarles que, como directora de OTAN, me siento totalmente complacida al tener la oportunidad de guiarlos en este camino hacia la elaboración de una solución para la problemática que se nos está presentando actualmente y manifestarles que me siento orgullosa de poder representar a personas tan preparadas como ustedes, quienes mediante sus conocimientos, colaborarán con la mejora de las naciones del mundo que tanto lo necesitan. Deseo, también, recordarles la importancia de su participación, ya que determinarán el rumbo que seguirán las situaciones planteadas y quienes velarán para que las decisiones sean las más convenientes, tanto para su nación, como para el resto de las naciones que se encuentran involucradas en el conflicto. Habiendo hecho énfasis en lo anteriormente expuesto, sólo me queda esperar que, como representantes de sus naciones, den lo mejor de ustedes y me permitan, como su superior, guiarlos por el camino correcto para así llegar a una solución que no altere la paz en las naciones del mundo.
