The Social Organism that Lead to "New Generation" Companies
The text examines the changes brought about by the emergence of social platforms. The idea of the birth of a social organism is discussed as a prerequisite for these changes and new opportunities. In turn this leads to the appearance of "new generation" companies that realize the potential of the times we live. They oppose the generally accepted rules so that they can create their own unique way to prove the power of the environment of which we are all part - both people and companies.

Human rights in the fight against terrorism: Sanctions regimes of the United Nations Security Council
In the last decade, the growing numÂber of acts of terrorism that threaten world peace and security, as well as the fundaÂmental values in every democratic socieÂty, in particular respect for fundamental human rights, have called for more active action by the international community in the struggle with terrorism. In this regard, the United Nations Security Council adopted a number of resolutions establishÂing sanctions regimes against the Islamic State of Iraq and Levant (IDES), Al-QaiÂda and the Taliban, and other individuals, groups, and related entities and suspected terrorist suspects. Despite the social purÂpose of these regimes, they created seÂrious preconditions for violations of the human rights of the affected subjects, in particular the right to a fair trial, the right to an effective remedy, the right to propÂerty, the right of the persons concerned to be informed of the charges against them, the right to be heard and other procedurÂal rights. This circumstance calls for reÂforms to be made to the arrangements in place to ensure fundamental human rights in the fight against terrorism
