In the publication that you hold in your hands, we would like to give an overview of the year’s commemorative events. I am thanking Ambassador Iván Gyurcsík, Permanent Representative of Hungary to the Danube Commission, for having taken the initiative and for having coordinated this very important anniversary. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade of Hungary organised and financed the commemorative events in close cooperation with the Danube Commission, the Institute of Foreign Affairs and Trade of Hungary and the Hungarian Shipping Federation (MAHOSZ). We should always remember that the Danube is a common treasure and heritage of the people living in the region. The river with its 2860 kilometres length connects not only 10 riparian states, but also altogether 19 states in its basin. With the opening of the Rhine-Main-Danube Canal in 1992, the Danube has become one of the most important trans-European transport corridors, which allows us to reach Rotterdam or Constanţa from Budapest by ship. In 1815, the Vienna Congress already settled the principle of the freedom of navigation on international waterways. The very first organisations to serve the purposes of inland navigation on the Danube were the Danube Commissions founded in 1856. This institutional framework has changed several times during more than 160 years. It had to face many difficulties and challenges during its history. It functions well when it reflects the interests of the riparian states and guarantees the right to free navigation. After WWII, in 1948 the great powers agreed to convene a special conference focusing on the elaboration of a new convention on the Danube navigation. The result of the conference was the Belgrade Convention, signed on 18th August 1948. 10 DANUBE COMMISSION 70 Since 1954, the headquarters of the Danube Commission and its Secretariat have been located in Budapest, where today 11 member states work together within this framework. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade of Hungary jointly with the above-mentioned partners organised several events to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Danube Commission, to show the past, the present and discuss the plans and visions. We launched the commemoration on 7th March together with the Secretariat of the Danube Commission by opening the commemorative exhibition „Danube Commission 70” in the main building of our Ministry. Through remarkable pictures and documents, we could get an insight into the great history of the Danube Commission. On 2nd October, the members of the Hungarian Shipping Federation (MAHOSZ) gathered together with the representatives of the member states to celebrate the great achievements of the Danube Commission fittingly with a beautiful boat trip on the river Danube. The closing event of the anniversary was an international conference organised together with the Institute for Foreign Affairs and Trade of Hungary. The conference contributed to the discussion about inland navigation and about the future role of the Danube Commission. On behalf of the host country of the Danube Commission, I wish you a pleasant reading. It is my sincere hope, that with this publication we may have drawn attention to the importance of navigation on the Danube and, at the same time, of maintaining a sustainable environment in the Danube Basin. Budapest, 3rd June 2019 11 DANUBE COMMISSION 70 Gordan Radman-Grlić President of the Danube Commission, Ambassador of Croatia to Germany Dear Friends, I have a special pleasure and privilege to welcome the publishing of the book on the occasion of the events celebrating the 70th anniversary of the signing of the Convention regarding the Regime of Navigation on the Danube, Belgrade, 1948 ratified by the Member States in 1949. On 29th June 2018, the Danube Commission held the 90th anniversary session in Belgrade being preceded and followed by the organisation of other three important events. On 7th March 2018, the commemorative exhibition „Danube Commission 70” was opened in the main building of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade of Hungary. On 2nd October 2018, the members of the Hungarian Shipping Federation (MAHOSZ) gathered together with the representatives of the Member States to celebrate the achievements of the Danube Commission accompanied by a beautiful boat trip on the Danube. On 13th November 2018, an international conference “Danube Commission 70 years – Inland Navigation: Diagnosis, Institutions and Visions in Europe”

  • HUMAN RIGHTS in the PEACE TREATIES* Stepheni D
    HUMAN RIGHTS IN THE PEACE TREATIES* STEPHENi D. KERmszt "The Charter recognizes ,that social progress and higher standards of life grow from larger freedom. Man does not live by bread alone. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, one of the greatest achievements of the third session of this Assembly, constitutes a long stride forward in our efforts to free men from tyranny or arbitrary constraint. The United States attaches great importance to this work of the United Nations. "This year we are confronted with a concrete issue in this field, the question of ob- servance of human rights in Bulgaria, Hungary and Rumania. The treaties of peace with these countries set forth the procedures for the settlement of disputes arising under these treaties. Within the last few weeks Bulgaria, Hungary and Rumania have refused to follow these procedures. "This issue involves more than the violation of terms in a treaty. It affects the rights and freedoms of all the people who live in these three states." Address by Secretary Acheson to the United Nations General Assembly on September 2r, x949.$ The five Peace Treaties, signed on February io, 1947, with their declarations of principle and concrete provisions for the protection of human rights and funda- mental freedoms not only are the production of a long evolution but also are an integral part of a world wide aspiration for the protection of human rights. This program has received its most sweeping and inspiring formulation in the obligations assumed by member states in the United Nations Charter. * The following abbreviations are used in the footnotes: (I) DEP'T STATE BuLL.BuLL.

  • Reducing Conflict Over the Danube Waters: Equitable Utilization and Sustainable Development
    ', "*k. t, 1' 210 97RE Natural Resources rnrum. Vol. 21. No. I. pp. 23 -38. 1997 Pergamon ~t', 1997 United Nalions Published by hlM-'vier Science Lid ['rimed in Great Britain IMI: SO 165-0203(96)00004-9 0165-0203/97 SI7.00+ 0.00 Reducing conflict over the Danube waters: equitable utilization and sustainable development Rhoda Margesson This paper develops the idea that the principle of equitable utilization must be applied in concert with sustainable water use not only in the resolution of specific disputes but in the cooperative management of water resources in general. It illustrates this point with two different cases involving the use of the Danube River. The first is the conflict over the Gabcikovo Nagymaros Dam, which now rests before the International Court of Justice. The author argues that a narrow legal ruling that fails to take into account broader issues of equitable utilization as they relate to sustainable development will not satisfactorily address the long-term questions at slake between the parties. The second involves the situation in the Danube Delta where the potential for conflict exists, but may be minimized through the convention and institutional framework developed to address the environmental degradation and pollution of the Danube River basin, which is based in part on the principle of equitable utilization and the goal of achieving more sustainable water use. The paper provides a brief overview of the geographical features of the Danube River and international water law. It then explores the principle of equitable utilization and sustainable water use in light of the two cases and discusses the implications for the.

And this makes it of the first importance that the facts from which that usage and practice are to be deduced should be correctly appre- ciated, and in particular that the great treaties which have regulated the status and territorial rights of nations should be studied from the point of view of history and international law. It is the object of this book to present materials for that study in an accessible form. The scope of the book is limited, and wisely limited, to treaties between the nations of Europe, and to treaties between those nations from 1815 onwards. To include all treaties affecting all nations would require volumes nor is it for the many ; necessary, purpose of obtaining a sufficient insight into the history and usage of European States on such matters as those to which these treaties relate, to go further back than the settlement which resulted from the Napoleonic wars.

Preface Providing knowledge for better utilising the Danube’s potential In connection with the Rhine, the Danube is more and more developing into a main European traffic axis which ranges from the North Sea to the Black Sea at a distance of 3,500 kilometres, thereby directly connecting 15 countries via waterway. Some of the Danube riparian states show the highest economic growth rates amongst the states of Europe. Such an increase in trade entails an enormous growth of traffic in the Danube corridor and requires reliable and efficient transport routes. The European Commission has recognised that the Danube waterway may serve as the backbone of this dynamically growing region and it has included the Danube as a Priority Project in the Trans-European Transport Network Siim Kallas (TEN-T) to ensure better transport connections and economic growth. Vice-President of the European Prerequisite for the utilisation of the undisputed potentials of inland naviga- Commission, Commissioner for tion is the removal of existing infrastructure bottlenecks and weak spots in the Transport European waterway network.

  • ICRP Calendar
    The notions of International Relations (IR) in capital letters and international relations (ir) in lowercase letters have two different meanings. The first refers to a scholarly discipline while the second one means a set of contemporary events with historical importance, which influences global-politics. In order to make observations, formulate theories and describe patterns within the framework of ‘IR’, one needs to fully comprehend specific events related to ‘ir’. It is why the Institute for Cultural Relations Policy (ICRP) believes that a timeline on which all the significant events of international relations are identified might be beneficial for students, scholars or professors who deal with International Relations. In the following document all the momentous wars, treaties, pacts and other happenings are enlisted with a monthly division, which had considerable impact on world-politics. January 1800 | Nationalisation of the Dutch East Indies The Dutch East Indies was a Dutch colony that became modern Indonesia following World War II. It was formed 01 from the nationalised colonies of the Dutch East India Company, which came under the administration of the Dutch government in 1800. 1801 | Establishment of the United Kingdom On 1 January 1801, the Kingdom of Great Britain and the Kingdom of Ireland united to form the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. Most of Ireland left the union as the Irish Free State in 1922, leading to the remaining state being renamed as the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in 1927. 1804 | Haiti independence declared The independence of Haiti was recognized by France on 17 April 1825.
