Otto Luchterhandt, for tirelessly offering support and advice throughout the period I worked on my doctoral dissertation. He shared his experience with regard to the very essence of the scientific study and offered cogent suggestions in respect of this doctoral thesis. Those suggestions guided me through the realm of public international law, bettered my project and gave me the necessary push. I owe many debts to Prof. Dr. iur. LL.M. Rainer Lagoni and Prof. Dr. Stefan Oeter at the University of Hamburg for supporting me throughout the process, professionally as well as morally. They wrote, together with my dissertation supervisor, in recommendation of my project and helped me to obtain the necessary means for dissertation research and writing. In this regard, I am grateful to the two institutions that financed my project. The University of Hamburg funded two years in the Free and Hanseatic City on the ground of the Ph.D. grant based on the Hamburg Law of Funding for Young Academics and Artists (HmbNFG). Accordingly, I would like to express my profound gratitude to the administration of the University of Hamburg. The Alfred Toepfer Stiftung F.V.S. awarded me a scholarship aimed at financing the final phase of my work on the dissertation. I appreciate the generosity of this foundation and would like to express my best thanks for its investment in my project. For this whole time I enjoyed the hospitality and openness which strengthened my research in the field. I appreciate the helpfulness of the personnel of the NATO Depository Library and Resource Center of the Georgian Foundation for Strategic and International Studies (GFSIS) in Tbilisi, the State and University Library Carl von Ossietzky in Hamburg, the Central Library of the Faculty of Law (ZBR) and the library of the Institute for Peace Research and Security Policy at the University of Hamburg (IFSH). My greatest debt is to my mother who has been so supportive throughout the period of my work on the present doctoral thesis. I am grateful to my friends and colleagues for giving me moral support during this process. iv Table of Contents List of Abbreviations................................................................................................. xiii Bibliography.............................................................................................................. xx Books and Articles.....................................................................................................................xx Judicial Decisions ....................................................................................................................xlvi Domestic Courts...................................................................................................................xlvi International Tribunals .........................................................................................................xlvi UN Security Council Resolutions......................................................................................... xlviii UN General Assembly Resolutions .........................................................................................xlix Other Official Documents........................................................................................................xlix Domestic Legislation ....................................................................................................................l International Agreements............................................................................................................lii Official Letters, Addresses, Statements and Declarations.........................................................liv Interviews and Press Conferences .............................................................................................lvi Official Internet Sites and other Electronic Sources..................................................................lvi Miscellanea ...............................................................................................................................lvii Abstract ...................................................................................................................... 1 Definition of the Subject Matter.................................................................................... 2 De facto regime............................................................................................................................2 Why the term “de facto state”?

At the center of their quarrel are Georgia’s secessionist regions, Abkhazia and South Ossetia. As Russia and Georgia accuse the other of troop move- ments in and around the secessionist territories, the UN, EU, OSCE, and NATO meet to determine their response. Critical to these deliberations are several underlying developments, which would benefi t from an independent review. Th ese include economic blockades of the secessionist territories, Russia’s military sup- port for the secessionists, the issuance of Russian passports to secessionist residents, and declarations of in- dependence by secessionist regimes. In these circumstances, it has become diffi cult to contain the confl icts without resolving them. However, as confl ict resolution has proven impracticable, it is time to consider al- tering present arrangements in order to prevent an escalation of violence.

In the light of the concept of new global tectonics pre-folding dimen- tions of the Paleogene flysch and epicontinental basins were reconstruct- ed that allowed to evaluate the degree of their contraction as a result of fold-and thrust formation. The work considers the general regularities of manifestation of the Pyrenean tectogenesis in the Caucasus on the whole including timing, duration and character of display of the Late Pyrenean phases on the study area. In the new light there has been presented the structure of the Sadzeguri syncline of the Jhinvali-Gombori subzone. For the first time the presence of the faunistically dated Paleocene and Lower Eocene sediments in the Kvaisa ore-bearing district has been es- tablished.

Scott Garley∗ ∗ Copyright c 1980 by the authors. Fordham International Law Journal is produced by The Berke- ley Electronic Press (bepress). http://ir.lawnet.fordham.edu/ilj Compensation for “Victims” of Diplomatic Immunity in the United States: A Claims Fund Proposal R. Scott Garley Abstract This Note will briefly trace the development of diplomatic immunity law in the United States, including the changes adopted by the Vienna Convention, leading to the passage of the DRA in 1978. The discussion will then focus upon the DRA and point out a few of the areas in which the statute may fail to provide adequate protection for the rights of private citizens in the United States. As a means of curing the inadequacies of the present DRA, the feasibility of a claims fund designed to compensate the victims of the tortious and criminal acts of foreign diplomats in the United States will be examined. COMPENSATION FOR "VICTIMS" OF DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY IN THE UNITED STATES: A CLAIMS FUND PROPOSAL INTRODUCTION In 1978, Congress passed the Diplomatic Relations Act (DRA)1 which codified the 1961 Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Rela- tions. 2 The DRA repealed 22 U.S.C. §§ 252-254, the prior United States statute on the subject,3 and established the Vienna Conven- tion as the sole standard to be applied in cases involving the immu- nity of diplomatic personnel4 in the United States.

  • The Future of the Caucasus After the Second Chechen War
    CEPS Working Document No. 148 The Future of the Caucasus after the Second Chechen War Papers from a Brainstorming Conference held at CEPS 27-28 January 2000 Edited by Michael Emerson and Nathalie Tocci July 2000 A Short Introduction to the Chechen Problem Alexandru Liono1 Abstract The problems surrounding the Chechen conflict are indeed many and difficult to tackle. This paper aims at unveiling some of the mysteries covering the issue of so-called “Islamic fundamentalism” in Chechnya. A comparison of the native Sufi branch of Islam and the imported Wahhaby ideology is made, in order to discover the contradictions and the conflicts that the spreading of the latter inflicted in the Chechen society. Furthermore, the paper investigates the main challenges President Aslan Maskhadov was facing at the beginning of his mandate, and the way he managed to cope with them. The paper does not attempt to cover all the aspects of the Chechen problem; nevertheless, a quick enumeration of other factors influencing the developments in Chechnya in the past three years is made. 1 Research assistant Danish Institute of International Affairs (DUPI) 1 1. Introduction To address the issues of stability in North Caucasus in general and in Chechnya in particular is a difficult task. The factors that have contributed to the start of the first and of the second armed conflicts in Chechnya are indeed many. History, politics, economy, traditions, religion, all of them contributed to a certain extent to the launch of what began as an anti-terrorist operation and became a full scale armed conflict. The narrow framework of this presentation does not allow for an exhaustive analysis of the Russian- Chechen relations and of the permanent tensions that existed there during the known history of that part of North Caucasus.

  • Varieties of Patron-Client State Relationship
    Varieties of Patron-Client State Relationship: The U.S. and Southeast Asia Hojung Do Ewha Womans University The United States (US) was one of the two superpowers during the Cold War and after the eventual demise of Soviet Union, consolidated its supremacy as sole hegemon of the world. US relations with many regions and many states have been extensively studied upon and in Asia, the relationship mostly dealt with China, Japan and South Korea. US patron relationship to Northeast Asia is relatively stable, durable, one consisting of visible and tangible security transactions such as military bases still stationed in South Korea and Japan. There is a wealth of literature to be found pertaining to Northeast Asia but US relationship with Southeast Asia is lacking compared to its neighbors. This paper starts with the following questions: Does a patron-client state relationship actually exist between the US Southeast Asia? Why is there a lack of patronage compared to one displayed in Northeast Asia? Is there room for maneuver for clients? How does US patronage change over time and in what way? The first part of this paper will briefly review previous literature on patron-client relationships. Second, key concepts of patron-client state relationships and the 6 types of relationships will be enumerated. Third, these relationships will be applied to three periods: 1965-67, 1975, 1985-87 in three countries: Indonesia, Philippines and Thailand to examine the trend of US patronage. Finally, implications and future modifications of this theory to Southeast Asia will be discussed. Patron-Client Relationship in Literature Patron-client relationship is not a fresh concept in the eyes of anthropology, sociology and even politics.
