    United Nations S/2007/582 Security Council Distr.: General 28 September 2007 Original: English Report of the Secretary-General on the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo Introduction 1. The present report is submitted pursuant to Security Council resolution 1244 (1999) by which the Council decided to establish the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) and requested the Secretary-General to report at regular intervals on the implementation of the mandate. It covers the activities of UNMIK and developments in Kosovo (Serbia), from 1 June to 31 August 2007. Kosovo future status process 2. On 1 August, I issued a statement welcoming the Contact Group’s agreement on modalities for further negotiations between Belgrade and Pristina during a new period of engagement. This effort is being led by a “Troika”, comprising representatives of the European Union, the Russian Federation and the United States of America. The United Nations has been providing support to the Troika’s mediation effort. On 30 August, the Troika held proximity talks in Vienna with delegations representing Serbia and Kosovo. Prior to those talks, the Troika held its first meeting with the Serbian Government on 10 August and with the Kosovo Unity Team on 11 and 12 August. I look forward to the Contact Group reporting to me on the results of the period of engagement by 10 December. Political situation 3. During the reporting period, the overriding political focus in Kosovo was on the deliberations on a new resolution in the Security Council. The Kosovo Albanian community and its leadership expressed disappointment when the Council failed to adopt a new resolution.

  • Legislative Chambers: Unicameral Or Bicameral?

    Legislative Chambers: Unicameral Or Bicameral?

    Legislative Chambers: Unicameral or Bicameral? Legislative Chambers: Unicameral or Bicameral? How many chambers a parliament should have is a controversial question in constitutional law. Having two legislative chambers grew out of the monarchy system in the UK and other European countries, where there was a need to represent both the aristocracy and the common man, and out of the federal system in the US. where individual states required representation. In recent years, unicameral systems, or those with one legislative chamber, were associated with authoritarian states. Although that perception does not currently hold true, there appears to be a general trend toward two chambers in emerging democracies, particularly in larger countries. Given historical, cultural and political factors, governments must decide whether one-chamber or two chambers better serve the needs of the country. Bicameral Chambers A bicameral legislature is composed of two-chambers, usually termed the lower house and upper house. The lower house is usually based proportionally on population with each member representing the same number of citizens in each district or region. The upper house varies more broadly in the way in which members are selected, including inheritance, appointment by various bodies and direct and indirect elections. Representation in the upper house can reflect political subdivisions, as is the case for the US Senate, German Bundesrat and Indian Rajya Sabha. Bicameral systems tend to occur in federal states, because of that system’s two-tiered power structure. Where subdivisions are drawn to coincide with other important societal units, the upper house can serve to represent ethnic, religious or tribal groupings, as in India or Ethiopia.

  • The Russian State Duma , On-Stage and Off: Inquiry, Impeachment , and Opposition

    The Russian State Duma , On-Stage and Off: Inquiry, Impeachment , and Opposition

    The Russian State Duma , On-Stage and Off: Inquiry, Impeachment , and Opposition MARTHA MERRITT L egislatures in mixed regimes the world over are often less popular than pres- identa, dismissed as "talking shops" while executive power lays claim to active and decisive leadership.l This tendency is clear in Russia's relatively new political institutions, with the State Duma rated in December 1999 as the Ieast trusted organ of government.z Both reflecting and helping to consolidate this atti- tude, the harsh national media routinely belittle the Duma: Deputies are said to "scurry like cockroaches" as they register electronic votes for themselves and their absent colleagues during the allotted fifteen-second period, the television news describes deputies as "babbling" while reporters discuss crises as yet unad- dressed, and during election periods television talk shows run polis to ask view- ers whether the country needs a national legislature at all. Not surprisingly, those who choose to telephone in this most unrepresentative of surveys defeat scattered support and record thousands of antiparliament "votes" Duma-bashing is something of a national sport in Russia, but it was also a use- ful resource for executive power as exercised by President Yeltsin. Although some commentators predicted a dramatic lessening of tension between Yeltsin's suc- cessor and the Duma after the relatively pro-government parliamentary elections of December 1999,3 the very majority that they had anticipated led to a dramat- ic walk-out of minority parties in early 2000 when the two largest legislative blocs, the Communists and Unity, found common ground in dividing committee chairperson positions.

    2. Maxim Vinaver and the First Russian State Duma ————————————

    ———————————— 2. Maxim Vinaver and the First Russian State Duma ———————————— 2. Maxim Vinaver and the First Russian State Duma The name, Maxim Vinaver, became associated with the First Russian State Duma. He wrote two books on the subject, Conflicts in the First Duma (Konflikty v pervoi Dume) (1907) and The History of the Vyborg Ap- peal [Memoirs] (Istoriia vyborgskogo vozzvaniia [vospominaniia]) (written in 1910 and published in 1913). This output, emerging in the years fol- lowing the closure of the First Duma, memorializes the short period between spring and fall of 1906. At the same time, these two memoirs reflect the time in which they were written, and allude to new realities in Russian political life between 1906 and the First World War. They are redolent of internecine disputes within the Russian Constitutional Democratic Party (Kadet), the difficulties of organizing a unified Jewish politics, and the relentless struggle with the government. In this essay I discuss the content of Vinaver’s memoirs while trying to reconstruct the political context in which they were written. My goal is not to provide an exhaustive description of Vinaver’s activities in the Duma or to provide a full description of the memoirs’ content. Rather, I outline Vinaver’s perception of the First Duma and illuminate the politi- cal goals contained in these two books. Lawyer, politician, and memoirist, Maxim Vinaver was born to a middle-class Jewish family in 1862, in Warsaw. After graduating with a degree in law from the University of Warsaw, he settled in St. Petersburg, where he was active both as a trial lawyer and editor of and contributor to the most prestigious legal journals in Russia, including Iuridicheskii vestnik and Vestnik prava.
