Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University Department of International Law and International Relations since 1996 with the support provided by the UNCHR office in Georgia, the UNDP office in Georgia, Open Society Justice Initiative (OSJI) and the US Embassy to Georgia. The Editorial Board is honored to convey the appreciation for provision of such an indispensable sup- port, once again, to the above mentioned organizations. The Publication of the Journal was suspended in 2005. Aiming at promoting the development of the science of International Law and strengthening the democratic principles in Georgia, the Chair of Interna- tional Law of the Tbilisi State University Law Department renewed publication of the Journal. The publication of the current volume has become possible with the support of OSCE Mission to Georgia. The Editorial Board expresses the gratitude to the OSCE Mission for this generous contribution. *** The Journal of International Law is the scientific periodical, published twice a year. The articles present- ed cover issues of public and private international law, international relations, important aspects of the Georgian legislation and Georgia’s international legal practice. The Journal is intended for experts of inter- national law, as well as for broad circles of readers interested in above mentioned issues. The fact that each article, as a rule, is published in Georgian and English and occasionally in Russian language as well, provides the possibility for the foreigner readers interested in these topics to become acquainted with the scientific concepts of authors, as well as certain Georgian legislative acts and interna- tional treaties to which Georgia is a party. The articles may be submitted in all the languages listed above. The Editorial Board provides corre- sponding translation. The Journal welcomes the contributions from scholars and practicing lawyers, as well as students engaged in research of international law issues, and whose articles [Priority will be given to articles which refer to the pressing problems of enhancement of the norms of the contemporary International Law and their further development, particularly dealing with international protection mechanisms of Human Rights and building civil society. The views expressed by the authors in the Journal may not correspond to that of the Editorial Board. 5 saerTaSoriso samarTlis Jurnali, #2, 2008 JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL LAW, N2, 2008 Sinaarsi CONTENTS redaqtorisagan levan aleqsiZe, saqarTvelos teritoriaze ruseTis SeiaraRebuli SemoWris 7 saerTaSorisosamarTlebrivi aspeqtebi Ëåâàí Àëåêñèäçå, Ìåæäóíàðîäíî-ïðàâîâûå àñïåêòû âòîðæåíèÿ Ðîññèè íà òåððèòîðèþ Ãðóçèè 9 Levan Alexidze, International Legal Aspects of Russian Invasion into the Territory of Georgian 11 I. saerTaSoriso samarTlis ZiriTadi principi Ð.Ô.
