Among these activities special attention is devoted to the dissemination of knowledge, education and advanced training of personnel as universal resources for the progress of every society. In pursuing this aim, the ECPD has developed, in addition to research and development activities, a new comprehensive system of postgraduate studies in the law of the European Union and international business law at specialist’s and master’s levels, which is adjusted to the current development problems. At the beginning of 2001, in order to achieve this aim, the ECPD concluded a general cooperation agreement with the International Institute for the Unification of Private Law (UNIDROIT) from Rome, a world-reputed institution in this area. A great number of international conventions relating to the international sale of goods, leasing, franchising, agency, transport, protection of cultural property and the like have been drawn up precisely by UNIDROIT. Many of these conventions have already come into effect. According to the cooperation agreement between the ECPD and UNIDROIT, the world’s leading experts will carry out the programme of instruction. Certificates of completed seminars and courses, as well as diplomas conferred upon completion of postgraduate studies at specialist’s and master’s levels will jointly be issued and signed by the ECPD and UNIDROIT. Under the agreement, the ECPD and UNIDROIT will jointly carry out these educational programmes in the entire territory of South-Eastern Europe. This brochure presents the principles, aims, plans, methods and conditions relating to the postgraduate studies in the law of the EU and international business law. Part 1 of this brochure gives information about the organizers of postgraduate studies in law of the EU and international business law – the European Center for Peace and Development (ECPD) and the International Institute for the Unification of Private Law (UNIDROIT), as well as about the collaborators: the International Development Law Organization (IDLO), International Law Institute (ILI) and University of Trieste Law Faculty.

ORGANIZERS 1. THE EUROPEAN CENTER FOR PEACE AND DEVELOPMENT (ECPD) The United Nations University for Peace was established by the Resolution 35/55 of the United Nations General Assembly in 1980. In accordance with its Charter, the University for Peace is “... an international institution of higher education for peace and with the aim of strengthening the spirit of understanding, tolerance and peaceful co-existence among all peoples, promoting cooperation among nations and contributing to the prevention and peaceful settlement of conflicts, as well as to the development in the world, in the spirit of the Charter of the Organization of the United Nations. To this end, the United Nations University should contribute to the resolving of the significant universal task of training for peace by engaging in education, research, postgraduate studies and dissemination of knowledge necessary for full development of man’s personality and human societies and by adopting an interdisciplinary approach to everything that is connected with peace”. Therefore, the United Nations University for Peace has the legal status necessary for the performance of its tasks and attainment of its aims. It has autonomy and academic freedom as regards its work, in accordance with its humanistic aims and within the scope of the United Nations Charter and Universal Declaration of Human Rights. In that sense, this “University may associate and conclude agreements with governments, inter-governmental and other organizations, that is, institutions in the field of education, and maintain special relations with the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), bearing in mind its responsibilities in the field of education”. The United Nations University for Peace was established as “... an international center for research, higher education and postgraduate studies”, aimed specifically at “training for peace and international cooperation”. To this end, the Council of the University for Peace, at its session of 20 January 1983, passed Resolution UP-C2 for the establishment of the European Center for Peace and Development (ECPD) of the United Nations University for Peace, whereby it was proposed that its headquarters should be in Yugoslavia. The Government of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia accepted this initiative and, on 22 October, 1984, concluded the Agreement for the Establishment and Status of the European Center for Peace and Development (ECPD), with Headquarters in Belgrade, with the United Nations University for Peace. The Agreement was ratified by the Law adopted by the Federal Parliament - by the Chamber of the Republics and Provinces on 28 June and by the Federal Chamber on 17 July, 1985, and has been in force up to the present day. This is how the European Center for Peace and Development (ECPD) of the University for Peace established by the United Nations, with headquarters in Belgrade was founded,

  • European Union (Withdrawal) Bill – 'Francovich' Claims
    European Union (Withdrawal) Bill – ‘Francovich’ Claims The European Union (Withdrawal) Bill excludes the right to claim damages under the rule in Francovich from being converted into UK law. Under the Francovich rule, a state may be liable for damages where it has failed to implement an EU directive within a specified time (and other conditions are met). Will Francovich be relevant post-Brexit? Francovich claims are only relevant where a Member State has failed to implement an EU directive within the time period for implementation. As such, its exclusion presumably will not be of great relevance post-Brexit when the UK will not be under any obligation to do so. However it may have the following residual relevance: • The exclusion of it via the Bill may prevent retrospective claims for current noncompliance with EU law. • The Francovich principle for damages is based on an ECJ case law concept. For instance a Government breech being ”sufficiently serious” to warrant damages. ”Sufficiently serious” is an ECJ concept and so may develop post Brexit. Removing it would unambiguously take the UK courts away from following the ECJ. It may, however, be a general move to reduce EU law related litigation and bring EU law in line with UK law and remedies. Provisions of European Union (Withdrawal) Bill 2017 (‘EUW Bill’) In accordance with paragraph 4 of Schedule 1 of the EUW Bill: • “There will be no right in domestic law on or after exit day to damages in accordance with the rule in Francovich.” • Schedule 1 of the EUW Bill has effect through s 5(6) (see ss 2(3), 3(5) and 4(3) of the EUW Bill, which state that the retention and conversion of EU law is subject to the exceptions in clause 5 and Schedule 1).

  • Spillover Or Backlash? Karen J
    The European Union’s Legal System and Domestic Policy: Spillover or Backlash? Karen J. Alter The legal system of the European Union (EU) offers domestic actors a powerful tool to influence national policy. European law can be drawn on by private litigants in national courts to challenge national policies. These challenges can be sent by na- tional judges to the European Court of Justice (ECJ), which instructs national courts to apply European law instead of national law, or to interpret national law in a way compatible with European law. Combining victories in front of the ECJ with political mobilization and pressure, litigants and groups have used the European legal system to force their governments to change national policies. Using Europe’s legal tool involves overcoming four successive thresholds: First, there must be a point of European law on which domestic actors can draw and favorable ECJ interpretations of this law. Second, litigants must embrace EU law to advance their policy objectives, using EU legal arguments in national court cases. Third, national courts must support the efforts of the litigants by referring cases to the ECJ and/or applying the ECJ’s legal interpretations instead of conflicting national policy. Fourth, litigants must follow through on their legal victory, using it as part of a larger strategy to pressure the government to change public policy.1 A litigation strategy can fail at any of the four steps. When private litigants can surmount these four thresholds, the EU legal system can be a potent tool for forcing a change in national policy. Stated as such, these four steps may sound onerous.

Around 60 million pople were migrating in different directions, most of them within Central and Eastern Europe. Immediately after the war, 20 million people were displaced.1 During that period, all national/ethnic groups in Croatia were affected by different kinds of migration. As regards minorities, German and Italian populations were especially affected by migrations, Hungarian to a lesser extent. These minorities had a signifi- cant share in the overall population. Smaller national/ethnic groups, such as Czechs2, Poles and Jews3 were also moving after the war.4 Serb population was the target of the NDH revenge, as a reaction to the oppression against the Croats in the Yugoslav 1 D.

This is not surprising, given the focus of the Community,' as well as its relatively early date of inception. The language closest to both subjects is contained in article 36 of the Treaty of Rome, which states that provisions of the Treaty "shall not preclude prohibitions or re- strictions ...justified on grounds of... the protections of health and life of humans, animals or plants."'3 Despite their general absence from Community documents, both human rights and environmental protection have found their way into Community law as it has evolved over more than three decades. The evolution has not produced a de- clared human right to an environment of a particular quality; how- ever, it has resulted in certain guaranteed environmental rights,4 including the right to receive environmental information, the right to participate in decisions affecting the environment, and the right to ac- * Professor of Law, Santa Clara University.
