INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS PROTECTION AND REGIONAL INTEGRATION: EUROPEAN AND EURASIAN INTEGRATION PROCESSES COMPARED
Full text linkThis paper seeks to analyze some contemporary issues relating to the determination of a place of human rights protection within the integration processes in Europe and Eurasia. First, it briefly presents relevant developments regarding integration in Europe based on the examples of the Council of Europe and the European Union. Second, it proposes an analytical framework for the assessment of the protection of human rights within Eurasian integration, namely in the post-Soviet space. This assessment is carried out through the prism of existing inter-state arrangements, namely within the framework of such entities as the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) and the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). Third, the paper attempts to identify on-going problems and legal challenges concerning the protection of human rights by regional integration organizations in Europe and Eurasia and suggests some solutions to these challenges
The Cornerstones of the Post-World War II and the Contemporary International Law: the View from Moscow and Beijing
No full textThe starting point for a lot of legal and political science publications concerning global issues appeared lately in the USA and countries of the EU is that China and Russia are renegade powers trying to undermine existing postmodern world economic and political order. Some authors in other regions, even in Russia, follow such an erroneous approach. In real life the situation is entirely different. The world order that emerged after the end of World War II was created with China and Russia participation. They made a major contribution to its establishment. It suits their interests. The main pillars of this world order are sovereign equality of states, noninterference in their internal matters, international cooperation and the prohibition to use force. After the dissolution of the USSR so called western democratic nations made their best to change that and acquire the legal right to use different types of force unilaterally and to interfere in internal life of other states on different grounds, proclaiming that postmodern developments changed the essence of the notion of sovereignty. They pretend that they succeeded to do this and persuade others. It is not true. They failed. Russia and China managed to preserve the core values of the post-World War II order. They stick to modern international law and are its most important protectors and promoters. All their recent global political, nonproliferation and economic initiatives are the prove of it
The Accession of the European Union to the ECHR
No full textThe obligation of the EU to accede to the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms has become one of the most significant changes brought about by the Lisbon Treaty. Despite the fact that the accession negotiations between the EU and the Council of Europe are still going on, there is little doubt that they will be successful in the near future. The present article is dedicated to the analysis of the legal and political effects of the EU accession to the ECHR. In the first part of the article the author addresses the difficulties that the EU had to overcome in order to launch the negotiation process. The goals and objectives of the accession together with the probability of their attainment are examined in the second part. Finally, in the third part the author analyses the implications of some ECHR judgments for the functioning of the EU institutions and their impact upon the development of the EU law. The author is convinced that the ECHR judgment in the Menarini case will force the ECJ to substantially modify its approach to EU Competition law cases
Unalternative character of EU development
No full textFor a number of reasons analyzed in the article, the EU response to the COVID-19 pandemic was slurred and fragmented. It intensified contradictions between groups of Member-States, revealed inconsistencies of the European integration project. Based on this, politicians and experts from different countries concluded that the EU would weaken internally, losing ground at international arena. The article proves the opposite. Lessons of the pandemic and joint efforts to overcome coronavirus depression will be used for building the EU of “next generation”, its consolidation and deepening integration. The necessary financial buttress has been created for this. The EU will acquire potential for operational crisis management. The formation of the capital market, digital and other common markets in addition to the existing ones will accelerate. It will get a comprehensive economic strategy, the main features of which are described by the author, and will be granted powers for its implementation. At the same time, transformation of the EU will take place under the influence of new factors complicating European plans, which will have a serious restraining effect
