Владимир Путин1 Въведение Първите международни организации, преследващи общи цели, възникват едва през ХХ век. Идеи за създаването на такива организации обаче съществуват още преди това. Политическото разединение и враждите между отделните държави са основна причина за сравнително късното им осъществяване. Първи стъпки към осъществяването на тези идеи се правят през ХІХ век. Първоначално държавите създават международни организации, за да сътрудничат помежду си по отделни въпроси. Така през 1865 г. е създаден Международният телекомуникационен съюз като Международен телеграфен съюз, а девет години по-късно (1874 г.) и Световният пощенски съюз (сега и двата специализирани организации/агенции на ООН). Тези две събития дават надежда, че и големи световни проблеми могат да бъдат разрешени по пътя на взаимното съгласие. Идеята за предотвратяването на последиците от военните сблъсъци и изграждането на структура, която да се грижи за опазването на мира, постепенно започва да си проправя път. През 1899 г. в Хага се провежда първата Международна конференция за мира, която цели да разработи начини за разрешаване на кризи по мирен път, предотвратявайки войни, и систематизиране на правила за водене на война. Впоследствие е създаден Постоянният арбитражен съд, който започва да действа през 1902 г. Ужасът на Първата световна война (1914–1918 г.) предизвиква вземането на по- крайни мерки като създаването на Обществото на народите (ОН) на Парижката мирна 1 Президент на Руската федерация в изявление от 11.9.2013 г. -
The Architecture of International Organizations 1922-•1952
Leiden Journal of International Law (2021), 34, pp. 1–22 doi:10.1017/S092215652000059X ORIGINAL ARTICLE INTERNATIONAL LEGAL THEORY Designing for international law: The architecture of international organizations 1922–1952 Miriam Bak McKenna* Lund University, Faculty of Law, Lilla Gråbrödersgatan 4, 222 22 Lund, Sweden Email: [email protected] Abstract Situating itself in current debates over the international legal archive, this article delves into the material and conceptual implications of architecture for international law. To do so I trace the architectural devel- opments of international law’s organizational and administrative spaces during the early to mid twentieth century. These architectural endeavours unfolded in three main stages: the years 1922–1926, during which the International Labour Organization (ILO) building, the first building exclusively designed for an inter- national organization was constructed; the years 1927–1937 which saw the great polemic between mod- ernist and classical architects over the building of the Palace of Nations; and the years 1947–1952, with the triumph of modernism, represented by the UN Headquarters in New York. These events provide an illu- minating allegorical insight into the physical manifestation, modes of self-expression, and transformation of international law during this era, particularly the relationship between international law and the func- tion and role of international organizations. Keywords: architecture; historiography; international law; law and aesthetics; legal materiality 1. Introduction ‘When we make a building for the UN’, noted Oscar Niemeyer in 1947, we must have in mind what is the UN? It is an organization to set the nations of the world in a common direction and gives to the world security. -

NEWSOM, Minority Staff Director DORTHEA ROBERSON, Clerk (II) SOVIET PRESENCE IN THE UN SECRETARIAT1 SUMMARY The Soviet Union is effectively using the UN Secretariat in the conduct of its foreign relations, and the West is paying for most of it. The 800 Soviets assigned to the United Nations as international civil servants report directly to the Soviet missions and are part of an -organization managed by the Soviet Foreign Ministry, intelligence services, and the Central Committee of the Communist Party. The Soviets have gained significant advantage over the West through their compre- hensive approach to the strategy and tactics of, personnel placement and their detailed plans for using the United Nations to achieve Soviet foreign policy and intelligence objectives. Soviet and Eastern Bloc personnel use their positions to promote a broad range of foreign policy objectives in the United Nations and its specialized agencies. -

On behalf of its members Graduate Women International (GWI) participated in the opening ceremony where Indigenous people from all around the world united in the Human Rights and Civilization Alliance Chamber to celebrate their ancestors, their culture and to begin the discussion of this year’s theme of free, prior and informed consent aimed toward the achievement of the Universal Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP). In preparing for this session, EMRIP drew information from a broad variety of stakeholders and sources including: States, Indigenous peoples, civil society, academics, the Special Rapporteurs on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples; Universal Periodic Review; United Nations and other multilateral actors. Throughout EMRIP participants will explore new partnerships based on human rights, mutual respect and tolerance for the views of each other. The session outcomes will be submitted to the Human Rights Council at its thirty-ninth session (September 2018). The session was opened with a ceremony and prayer given in Mohawk, an Iroquoian language spoken by the Mohawk people, a native community located in the north east of United States and south east of Canada, which was followed by an English translation. Mr. Howard Thomson, the Indigenous speaker opening the session, expressed that his intention was to encourage open-mindedness and he expressed gratitude to mother earth, who provides us life and resources and to the forces of nature, who veil for the creatures of mother earth by giving them warmth and light. -

Oliver BAKRESKI UDK: 355.45-049.6(494) Original Research Paper
Oliver BAKRESKI UDK: 355.45-049.6(494) Original research paper NATIONAL SECURITY POLICY IN SWITZERLAND Abstract The national security policy of Switzerland is based upon the specifics of the Swiss country and it is distinguished with great complicacy and complexity. Hence, the examination of the security policy should be founded of its complete comprehen- sion and thorough perception of the conditions in order to avoid improvisation and partiality. This signifies that the security policy should be rationally founded and to synthetize the efforts of all of the security actors in order to provide the necessary le- vel of security, for the society, the nation, and for the citizens. Generally, the altered nature of security threats conditioned the need for redefining the security policy of Switzerland and also imposed for adoption of new approaches toward security. Ac- cepting such reality, Switzerland has to adjust to the new circumstances for the pro- tection of the national interests and the neutrality policy. The Adaptation of the se- curity system in the new security environment has to be a reflection and result of the evident general overall inclusion of all the subjects, which are authorized for en- forcing the security policy. Keywords: SWITZERLAND, SECURITY, SECURITY POLICY, NATIONAL SECURITY, SE- CURITY SYSTEM 1. Introductory remarks Switzerland is a multinational, multilingual, religiously and economi- cally complex community, and it is consisted of four main lingual and cultu- ral domains: German, French, Italian and Romans (Radosavljević, 2011, 102). Even though most of the citizens speak German, the Swiss national identity pulls its roots from a common historical background, sharing the values such as federalism and direct democracy as well as Alpine symbolism. -
