  • Dissenting Opinion of Judge Anita Usacka 1. I Regret That I Am Unable
    ICC-01/04-02/06-271-Anx1 05-03-2014 1/15 NM PT OA Dissenting Opinion of Judge Anita USacka 1. I regret that I am unable to join the majority of the Appeals Chamber in confirming the "Decision on the Defence's Application for Interim Release"* (hereinafter: "Impugned Decision"). My divergence from the majority relates to the first ground of appeal raised by Mr Bosco Ntaganda (hereinafter: "Mr Ntaganda") in the document in support of the appeal filed on 26 November 2013^ (hereinafter: "Document in Support of the Appeal"). For the reasons set out hereunder, I would have found that Pre-Trial Chamber II (hereinafter: "Pre-Trial Chamber") committed an error of fact in exclusively relying on anonymous hearsay evidence contained in two United Nations group of experts reports and press and blog articles in order to support most of the factual findings relevant to its conclusion that the continued detention of Mr Ntaganda appears necessary. On this basis, I would have reversed the Impugned Decision and remanded it to the Pre-Trial Chamber for a new decision. I would not have addressed the second ground of appeal. Introduction 2. Mr Ntaganda challenges the Pre-Trial Chamber's decision on his first request for interim release under article 60 (2) of the Statute."^ Article 60 (2) of the Statute provides: A person subject to a warrant of arrest may apply for interim release pending trial. If the Pre-Trial Chamber is satisfied that the conditions set forth in article 58, paragraph 1, are met, the person shall continue to be detained.

  • The Key Factor for a Successful Territorial Cohesion: Cross-Border
    European Journal of Geography Volume 7, Number 1:45 - 57, March 2016 ©Association of European Geographers UKRAINIAN CRISIS: COMPARISON AND CONFRONTATION BETWEEN EASTERN AND WESTERN PERSPECTIVES AND PROSPECTS. Simona EPASTO University of Macerata, Department of Political Sciences, Communication and International Relations, Macerata, Italy [email protected] Abstract Since the end of the Cold War, Europe has never been so peacefully consolidated. However, its vulnerability still exists in a context of increasing globalization, where societies are facing security threats and challenges that are growing in size and sophistication, as Ukraine highlights. To protect freedom, security, human rights, political stability, democracy and cultural identity, the EU developed effective tools within which research and innovation can play a fundamental role of support to understand, identify, prevent and discourage security threats. Horizon 2020 programme section “Secure societies: Protecting freedom and security of Europe and Its Citizens” designed to improve border security through conflict prevention and peace-building, will contribute to the implementation of Europe 2020 strategy. The aim of this paper is to define the advancement degree of the functional change on EU Eastern borders and to understand the value and the future geopolitical implications of the relations between Ukraine, Russia, EU, and USA. Keywords: Ukrainian crisis, Horizon 2020, Eastern borders, Russia, Western Bloc 1. INTRODUCTION Since the fall of the Berlin Wall and the dissolution of the USSR, the European continent has never enjoyed such a strengthened state of peace, in which the level of security is very high compared to other parts of the world. On the other hand, one of the fundamental objectives of the European Union is to create an area without internal frontiers in which the citizens can move, live and work freely knowing that their rights are fully respected and their security is totally assured.
