Abstract In 2000, the global policy against the phenomenon of “corruption“ was launched by the United Nations, and in 2003 the United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC) was adopted, which Bulgaria ratified three years later. Two months after the adoption of this international convention, Bulgaria became part of the European Union. The accession was accompanied by the creation of “specific accompanying measures” aimed at correcting identified deficiencies in various areas, including measures against corruption. As a result of the annual reports of the European Commission on Bulgaria’s progress on the Co-operation and Verification Mechanism, anti-corruption law-making has begun to develop and improve. Serious progress in this direction is the creation of legislation in the area of “conflict of interest”, which is not exactly corruption but creates prerequisites for its development, especially in the public sphere. The paper presents the result of the analysis of the created anti-corruption legislation after the accession of the Republic of Bulgaria to the EU. Particular attention is paid to the law adopted in 2018 regulating anti-corruption measures, as well as the terms and procedure for the seizure of illegally acquired property for the benefit of the state.

The Alps are experiencing a dynamic development in different areas, such as economy, social development or cross-alpine traffic and at the same time are facing environmental changes that impair the living conditions of people as well as of its flora and fauna. It is therefore important that through the Alpine Convention an international treaty has been agreed upon for the protection of the Alps with an integrative approach, embracing ecological, economic and social aspects. This article provides an overview of the objectives and content of the Alpine Convention. It also takes a look at its genesis and implementation as well as the different stakeholders that are involved therein. The article further examines the specific characteristics of the Alpine Convention such as its mechanisms for dispute resolution and its aspects of public participation. In this context a parallel is drawn to the Aarhus Convention which is likewise an NGO-driven international Convention.

The imbalance between the number of labor force and the number of jobs makes employment opportunities abroad one of solution to reduce unemployment. Indonesia has established regulations relating to the placement of Indonesian Migrant Workers  through Law Number 18 of 2017 concerning Protection of Indonesian Migrant Workers. Meanwhile, long before the formation of this law, an international agreement was made regarding the protection of migrant workers and their families through the International Convention On The Protection Of The Rights Of All Migrant Workers And Members Of Their Families which was initiated on 18 December 1990 in New York, United States. In this research, an assessment of Law no. 18 of 2017 concerning the Protection of Indonesian Migrant Workers against compliance with the principles contained in the International Convention On The Protection Of The Rights Of All Migrant Workers And Members Of Their Families was carried out. From the research, it is found that the Convention has been able to influence the legal norms in Law no. 18 of 2017 with the strengthening of human values through the principles and the existence of Indonesian Migrant Workers rights which do not only regulate Indonesian Migrant Workers themselves  but also related to their family rights.

Регулярно в мире терпит крушение большое количество крупных судов. Количество случаев крушения с каждым годом растет. Крушения происходят, в том числе, из-за значительных размеров судов, роста интенсивности движения на морских путях, роста скоростей движения, неблагоприятных метеорологических условий, недостатков современных навигационных систем. Исходя из этого, следует больше уделять внимание методикам и средствам спасения судна при крушении. В случае крушения судна, для спасения человеческих жизней и груза может быть использована преднамеренная посадка судна на мель. Актуальность исследования вопросов, связанных с преднамеренной посадкой на мель, подтверждается: разработкой новых методов стягивания судна с мели, разработкой в области создания безэкипажных судов, Международной конвенцией о подготовке и дипломировании моряков и несении вахты, которая требует от судоводителя: умения осуществлять преднамеренную посадку на мель, понимания основных действий в случае, если посадка на мель неизбежна и действий после посадки на мель. В работе рассматривается продольный спуск судна на воду вперед кормой. Приводится аналитическое доказательство того, что в первом приближении продольный спуск на воду схож с посадкой судна на мель. Приводятся соответствующие математические выкладки. Из приведенного доказательства следует вывод, что в практике судоходства, в аварийной ситуации, можно рассчитать посадку на мель так, что это может привести к спасению судна и как следствие его экипажа и пассажиров. A large number of large ships are wrecked on a regular basis in the world. The number of crash cases is growing every year. Wrecks occur, among other things, due to the significant size of ships, the growth of traffic on sea routes, the growth of traffic speeds, unfavorable meteorological conditions, and the shortcomings of modern navigation systems. Based on this, more attention should be paid to methods and means of rescuing a ship in case of a wreck. In the event of a shipwreck, deliberate grounding of the ship may be used to save lives and cargo. The relevance of the study of issues related to deliberate grounding is confirmed by: the development of new methods for pulling a ship aground, development in the field of the creation of unmanned vessels, the International Convention on the Training and Certification of Seafarers and Watchkeeping, which requires the boatmaster to: the ability to carry out deliberate grounding, an understanding of basic actions in the event that a grounding is imminent and of actions after a grounding. The paper considers the longitudinal launching of the vessel into the water forward stern. Analytical proof is given that, in the first approximation, the longitudinal launching is similar to the landing of a ship aground. The corresponding mathematical calculations are given. From the above evidence it follows that in the practice of shipping, in an emergency, it is possible to calculate the aground so that it can lead to the salvation of the vessel and, as a consequence, of its crew and passengers.

Prior to the outbreak of the European war on September 3, 1939, progress had been made, by means of international agreements for the conservation of whales, toward the creation of what M. Suarez in 1925 characterized as a new jurisprudence “ of which today we have no inkling, owing to the fact that the necessity which now arouses our legitimate apprehensions was never contemplated.” In 1931, due to the efforts of the League of Nations, a Convention for the Regulation of Whaling was opened for signature at Geneva; in 1937, an International Agreement for the Regulation of Whaling was signed at London; in 1938, a Protocol Amending the International Agreement was signed at London.

The problem of allied cooperation and formation of multilateral coalitions takes an important place in the diplomatic history of 1920-1940s’. This article presents an attempt to analyze the structural and motivational factors that influenced the establishment and functioning of the alliance and coalition relations between the leading powers of the time. In the context of multipolar international system peace and stability could be preserved by arrangements of collective security against aggression and hegemonism, or by the balance of power and effective alliances. None of these structural mechanisms could prevent the aggression of the Berlin-Rome “axis” created in the mid-1930s. The political and ideological contradictions and attempts to appease the Nazi regime at the expense of the countries of Central and Eastern Europe led to the defeat of the Anglo-French coalition in the first phase of the Second World War. The creation of the “second” anti-Hitler coalition was based on the common threat to humanity from the aggressive bloc. However, both the creation of the League of Nations and the United Nations Organization later failed to create effective mechanisms able to ensure collective defense against aggression and violation of international peace.

This article commemorates the signing of the agreement on local border traffic between the Second Polish Republic and the Weimar Republic on 30 December 1924. This year, 92 years have passed since that event. It should be emphasized that this was not the only such international agreement, as Poland entered into similar ones with Czechoslovakia (1925) and the Kingdom of Romania (1929).According to the author, solutions specified in the Polish-German treaties are sometimes better than those currently defined in agreements with Ukraine, Belarus and Russia, as indicated by the analysis of the documents. The achievements of the historical-legal acts can and should be used in the creation of the Polish concept of boundaries and rights.

Forced migration has been the subject of intense debate in the past 50 years and has spawned a wealth of literature as a result. Few commentators, however, have considered the value or viability of an international agreement on refugee resettlement that would include mandatory resettlement quotas. This article puts forward a proposal for an International Convention on Refugee Resettlement. Such a convention would, I argue, help to address some of the current limitations of resettlement as a solution to the increase in refugee numbers. Appendix 1 contains the suggested wording for such a convention, drawing on several international human rights treaties (particularly the 1951 Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees) as well as resettlement principles and policies set out by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. Appendix 2 provides explanatory notes for the draft wording. It is hoped that such wording might be of use to those campaigning for the development of a binding, international agreement on resettlement.
