Mention of such a symbol indicates a reference to a United Nations document. The designations employed and the presentation of the material in this publication do not imply the expression of any opinion whatsoever on the part of the secretariat of the United Nations concerning the legal aspects, status of any country, territory, city or area, or of its authorities, nor do they concern the delimitation of their frontiers or boundaries. The maps and country reports are only for information purposes. Related data was sent by the countries concerned and the respective content is their complete responsibility. In the few cases that countries did not provide data, the secretariat provided data from available sources. The UN Group of Experts on Geographical Names (UNGEGN) under the Department of Economic and Social Affairs (DESA) in the United Nations Secretariat (http://unstats.un.org/unsd/geoinfo/UNGEGN/ default.html) deals with names on the basis of Member State driven initiatives. Acknowledgements: Special thanks to the Government of Belarus, in particular, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Economy, Ministry of Trade, Ministry of Transport and Communications as well as the experts of the School of Business and Management of Technology of the Belarus State University in Minsk for their excellent cooperation with the Economic Commission for Europe in carrying out this project in a timely and efficient manner. This exemplary case of demand driven and focused project is a testimony to the capacity of ECE to respond to its Governments’ demand. ECE/TRANS/233 2 ECONOMIC COMMISSION FOR EUROPE United Nations Economic Commission for Europe The United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) is one of the five United Nations regional commissions administered by the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC). It was established in 1947 with the mandate to help rebuild post‐war Europe, develop economic activity and strengthen economic relations among European countries, and between Europe and the rest of the world. During the Cold War, UNECE served as a unique forum for economic dialogue and cooperation between East and West. Despite the complexity of this period, significant achievements were made, with consensus reached on numerous harmonization and standardization agreements. In the post-Cold War era, UNECE acquired not only many new Member States, but also new functions. Since the early 1990s the organization has focused on analyses of the transition process, using its harmonization experience to facilitate the integration of Central and Eastern European countries into the global markets. UNECE is the forum where the countries of Western, Central and Eastern Europe, Central Asia and North America, 56 countries in all, come together to forge the tools of their economic cooperation. That cooperation concerns economics, statistics, environment, transport, trade, sustainable energy, timber and habitat. The Commission offers a regional framework for the elaboration and harmonization of conventions, norms and standards. The Commission’s experts provide technical assistance to the countries of South‐East Europe and the Commonwealth of Independent States. This assistance takes the form of advisory services, training seminars and workshops where countries can share their experiences and best practices. 3 Review of the transport and logistics system of the Republic of Belarus UNECE TRANSPORT The UNECE Transport Division facilitates the international movement of persons and goods by inland transport modes. It aims to improve competitiveness, safety, energy efficiency and security in the transport sector. At the same time it focuses on reducing the adverse effects of transport activities on the environment and contributing effectively to sustainable development. It is the • Centre for multilateral transport standards and agreements in Europe and beyond, e.g. regulations for dangerous goods transport and road vehicle construction at the global level • Gateway for technical assistance and exchange of best practices • Promoter of multi‐country investment planning • Substantive partner for transport and trade facilitation initiatives • Historic centre for transport statistics. For more than six decades, the UNECE Inland Transport Committee (ITC) has provided a platform for intergovernmental cooperation to facilitate and develop international transport while improving its safety and environmental performance. The main results of this persevering and critical work are reflected in more than 50 international agreements and conventions which provide an international legal framework and technical regulations for the development of international road, rail, inland water and intermodal transport, as well as dangerous goods transport and vehicle construction. Considering the perspectives of the transport services providers and their regulators, UNECE offers a balanced approach to and treatment of facilitation and security issues alike. 4 ECONOMIC COMMISSION FOR EUROPE Table of contents LIST OF FIGURES ................................................................................................ 7 LIST OF TABLES .................................................................................................. 10 ANNEXES.......................................................................................................... 11 LIST OF ACRONYMS .......................................................................................... 13 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ........................................................................................ 14 1.

  • Structural Geological Mapping of the Cenozoic Sediments of the Brest Region Using GIS Technologies
    E3S Web of Conferences 212, 01010 (2020) https://doi.org/10.1051/e3sconf/202021201010 ICBTE 2020 Structural geological mapping of the Cenozoic sediments of the Brest region using GIS technologies Anna Maevskaya1*, Nikolay Sheshko2, Natalia Shpendik2 and Maksim Bogdasarov1 1Brest State University named after A.S. Pushkin Cosmonauts Boulevard, 21, 224016, Brest, Belarus 2Brest State Technical University Moskovskaya St., 267, 224017, Brest, Belarus Abstract. Cenozoic sediments of the territory of the Brest region is the object of research in this work. The aim of this work is to detail the structure of the Cenozoic stratigraphic deposits by creating a set of structural geological maps. The process of creating maps included several sequential stages implemented using the ArcGIS 10.5 software product. In general, a set of maps for each period of the Cenozoic era was made according to the implemented method. As a result of mapping, the features of the geological structure of the Cenozoic sediments were detailed (based on the use of the most complete materials on the drilling exploration of the territory during the construction). The use of geoinformation systems in the process of building will allow for quick updating of cartographic materials in the future. Keywords: Brest region, cenozoic sediment, gis mapping, big data, structural-geological maps. Introduction Cenozoic deposits have become quite widespread within the territory of the Brest region, which due to their lithological diversity can be considered as a promising regional resource base of minerals, primarily building materials. This necessitates a serious detailing of the nature of the surface of the buried horizons of the Cenozoic as a basis for a qualitative forecast and assessment of the prospects for the development of the mineral resource potential of the territory as well as optimization of the organization of engineering and construction activities.

On 11 June officials banned the Church from renting premises, therefore banning it from meeting, church members told Forum 18 News Service. Police asked them: "Why do you attend this church and not a normal one?" Officials warned congregation leader Pastor Sergei Nikolaenko - who is already facing trial on Administrative Code charges - that he would be investigated on possible Criminal Code charges. "You can watch a football match or discuss [the poet Aleksandr] Pushkin without permission, but for a religious meeting you need permission", Dmitry Chumakov, the official in charge of religious affairs at Gomel Regional Executive Committee told Forum 18. Two weeks earlier there was a similar armed police raid on the Soligorsk congregation of Council of Churches Baptists. "11 more armed police arrived and broke up the service, as if they were coming after bandits", Forum 18 was told. Two congregation members were fined in early June for meeting for worship without state permission. On 31 May police in Belarus with OMON riot police raided the Reformed Orthodox Transfiguration Church's meeting for Sunday worship, held in rented premises in Gomel [Homyel] in the south east of the country.

Sustainable Development is usually viewed through a lens of three core elements: economic growth, social inclusion and environmental protection. But it’s important to remember that these are not just categories or boxes: they are connected and have aspects in common. To develop this approach a step further, two critical dimensions that will drive Agenda 2030 were adopted by member states: partnership and peace. Partnerships strengthen the capacities of all stakeholders to work together. Peace, justice and strong institutions are essential for improvements in the three core areas. Genuine sustainability sits at the center and it would be important to consider each of the SDGs through the lens of these five dimensions.

  • Belt and Road Transport Corridors: Barriers and Investments
    Munich Personal RePEc Archive Belt and Road Transport Corridors: Barriers and Investments Lobyrev, Vitaly and Tikhomirov, Andrey and Tsukarev, Taras and Vinokurov, Evgeny Eurasian Development Bank, Institute of Economy and Transport Development 10 May 2018 Online at https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/86705/ MPRA Paper No. 86705, posted 18 May 2018 16:33 UTC BELT AND ROAD TRANSPORT CORRIDORS: BARRIERS AND INVESTMENTS Authors: Vitaly Lobyrev; Andrey Tikhomirov (Institute of Economy and Transport Development); Taras Tsukarev, PhD (Econ); Evgeny Vinokurov, PhD (Econ) (EDB Centre for Integration Studies). This report presents the results of an analysis of the impact that international freight traffic barriers have on logistics, transit potential, and development of transport corridors traversing EAEU member states. The authors of EDB Centre for Integration Studies Report No. 49 maintain that, if current railway freight rates and Chinese railway subsidies remain in place, by 2020 container traffic along the China-EAEU-EU axis may reach 250,000 FEU. At the same time, long-term freight traffic growth is restricted by a number of internal and external factors. The question is: What can be done to fully realise the existing trans-Eurasian transit potential? Removal of non-tariff and technical barriers is one of the key target areas. Restrictions discussed in this report include infrastructural (transport and logistical infrastructure), border/customs-related, and administrative/legal restrictions. The findings of a survey conducted among European consignors is a valuable source of information on these subjects. The authors present their recommendations regarding what can be done to remove the barriers that hamper international freight traffic along the China-EAEU-EU axis.

The purpose of this article is to present the geographic analysis of current spatial structure of the road transportation in Belarus in 2000-2014. The choice of transport mode for the article was influenced by several factors, such as historic devel- opment, network coverage, transformational changes in productivity, rapid increase in car ownership numbers, emergence of logistic centers and intelligent transportation systems. The article reviews the range of topics, including morphology of the major roads network, logistic centers spatial distribution and regional features of passenger and cargo productivity, discusses current transformational changes within the road transportation sector in Belarus. The key findings indicate that current changes in spatial structure of the road transportation in Belarus have uneven nature, shaped by social, economic, political and geopolitical external and internal factors and are a subject of interest for both transportation researchers and practitioners.
