الاعتراف بالشخصية القانونية الدولية - دراسة تحليلية
يُعد موضوع الاعتراف بالشخصية القانونية الدولية من الموضوعات التي تحظى بأهمية بالغة في نطاق القانون الدولي العام، ولاسيما في ظل الاختلافات الحاصلة في تكييف الطبيعة القانونية للاعتراف ما إذا كان مؤثراً في المحل الذي يرد عليه وفي حالتنا هذه هو الشخصية القانونية الدولية دولة كانت أو منظمة دولية، أم ليس له التأثير المطلوب.يحاول البحث الإجابة عن الأسئلة المفصلية الآتية: هل يعد الاعتراف تصرفاً انفرادياً كسائر التصرفات الانفرادية الدولية ومن ثم يكون مؤثراً فيما يرد عليه، بمعنى إنه يكسب حقوقاً ويرتب التزامات على الصعيد الدولي أم لا، لا يمكن أن يرتب التزاماً إلا إذا كان ناتجاً عن اتفاق دولي سابق، فالعبرة هي للاتفاق الدولي لا للتصرف الانفرادي ممثلاً بالاعتراف؟ وما هي النظرية التي يكتب لها الرجحان في نطاق تحديد الطبيعة القانونية للاعتراف؟ هل هي النظرية المنشئة أو الكاشفة؟ فما هي أدلة كل من النظريتين؟ وما هو سبب ترجيح إحدى النظريتين على حساب الأخرى؟ وما هو أثر ذلك في تحديد الاعمال التي تترتب عليها مسؤولية الشخص القانوني الدولي. و قد اعتمدنا في هذه الدراسة على منهج المقارنة بين الفقه والقضاء الدوليين معتمدين بشكل أساس على كتابات فقهاء القانون الدولي في العراق ومصر ولبنان. فضلاً عن الإشارة إلى آراء معاهد القانون الدولي المختصة، والاعتماد على نصوص المواثيق والاتفاقيات الدولية حين تدعو حاجة البحث لذلك.

STRUCTURE AND PHOTO- FUNCTIONAL PROPERTIES OF TiO2 THIN FILM PREPARED BY RF HELICON MAGNETRON SPUTTERING
Fabrication of titanium dioxide (TiO2) thin film (200nm) has been done by using RF helicon magnetron sputtering from metallic Ti target under changing of O2 flow rate and substrate temperature. Film structure was measured by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The films were examined by an X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) to study the structure; atomic force microscopy (AFM) and field-emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) were employed to investigate the surface morphology and the cross section of films, respectively. Optical properties and optical band gap were calculated by using UV-VIS spectrophotometer. Photocatalytic activity was evaluated by light induced degradation of methylene blue (MB) solution using UV and Vis light. TiO2 thin film with a rutile phase at substrate temperature 100oC and O2 flow rate to 0.5 - 1.0sccm can be obtained, also an anatase phase can be fabricated when set substrate temperature to 300 oC and O2 flow rate to 2.5sccm. Obtained films showed a high dense with smooth surface and high crystalline. Maximum degradation rate (about 85%) of MB has been indicated at anatase phase under UV light irradiation, while under Vis light irradiation rutile and anatase mixture phase showed a maximum degradation rate (about 15%). In this work, the morphological, structural, optical, and photocatalytic properties of TiO2 thin films that were fabricated by RF helicon magnetron sputtering under change of O2 flow rate and substrate temperature have been investigated. It is expected that the change of substrate temperature and/or O2 flow rate will make ability to control the film structure
