The development of a government securities market is a complex process that is interrelated with the financial and market system development of each country. For many countries, this implies huge challenges that often are amplified by economic issues. For instance, some government securities markets rely on a few domestic banks for funding, which makes competition scarce, and transaction costs high. In addition to this, the lack of a sound market infrastructure may make specific actions to develop a government securities market premature and ineffective. At the same time, the insufficiency of institutional investors, low domestic savings rates, and lack of interest from international investors generate a small, highly homogeneous investor group, contrary to the diversity needed for an efficient market. Furthermore, economic instability, often accompanied by high fiscal deficits, rapid growth of the money supply, and a deteriorating exchange rate, weakens investor confidence and increases the risks associated with the development of a market for government securities. This article aims to describe the importance of a diversified investor base in developing a government securities market and to show the experience of the Republic of Moldova in this regard.

Aktualna Obrambna strategija, ki jo je sprejela Vlada Republike Slovenije decembra 2001, je bila izdelana pred več kot desetletjem. Od takrat se je svet zelo spremenil. Dinamika in kompleksnost sodobnih varnostnih razmer sta v sodobnem svetu bistveno bolj prežeti z nepredvidljivostjo, izzivi in problemi, s katerimi se spopada današnji svet, od gospodarske krize prek podnebnih sprememb do boja proti terorizmu, pa so v medsebojni soodvisnosti in zahtevajo celovito razumevanje družbenih pojavov in procesov. Spremembe v mednarodnem varnostnem okolju pomembno vplivajo tudi na vsebino in dinamiko razvoja nacionalnovarnostnega sistema Republike Slovenije in znotraj njega tudi njenega obrambnega sistema. V tem kontekstu je v prispevku posebna pozornost namenjena razumevanju sodobnih obrambnih strategij, mestu in vlogi Obrambne strategije Republike Slovenije v naci- onalnovarnostnem sistemu ter njenemu razmerju do hierarhično višjih in nižjih stra- teških dokumentov s področja nacionalne varnosti Republike Slovenije. The current Defence Strategy adopted by the Government of the Republic of Slovenia in December 2001, was drafted over a decade ago. However, the world has changed significantly since then. The dynamics and complexity of the modern security situation have become much more unpredictable, while the challenges and problems encountered by today’s world, i.e. the economic crisis, climate changes, counterter- rorism etc., are interdependent and demand a comprehensive understanding of social phenomena and processes. The changes in the international security environment have an important impact on the contents and dynamics of the national security system development in the Republic of Slovenia including its defence system. With this in mind, the article devotes special attention to the understanding of modern defence strategies, the place and the role of Defence Strategy of the Republic of Slovenia in the national security system and its relation to hierarchically superior and inferior strategic documents regulating the national security system of the Republic of Slovenia.

Acording to the author's opinion, institutional investors (from many participants of the capital market) play the main role, especially investment funds. They supply to small-sized investors special investment services, which allow them to participate in the investment process. However excessive institutialization and increasing number of hedge-funds may lead to financial crisis.

The Ombudsman as an external oversight body for official performance, in Fikih Siyasah (constitutionality in Islam) is included in the supervision stipulated in legislation (al-musahabah al-qomariyah). Supervision is done so that public service delivery to the community is in accordance with the rights of the community. This is done because in carrying out its duties, officials are very likely to conduct mal administration, which is bad public services that cause harm to the community. The Ombudsman is an institution authorized to resolve the mal administration issue, in which one of its products is by issuing a recommendation. Although Law No. 37 of 2018 on the Ombudsman of the Republic of Indonesia states that the recommendation is mandatory, theombudsman's recommendations have not been implemented. This is due to differences in point of view, ie on the one hand in the context of law enforcement, but on the other hand the implementation of the recommendation is considered as a means of opening the disgrace of officials. Recommendations are the last alternative of Ombudsman's efforts to resolve the mal administration case, given that a win-win solution is the goal, then mediation becomes the main effort. This is in accordance with the condition of the Muslim majority of Indonesian nation and prioritizes deliberation in resolving dispute. Therefore, it is necessary to educate the community and officials related to the implementation of the Ombudsman's recommendations in order to provide good public services for the community, which is the obligation of the government.

On 2 August 2002 South Africa signed the Southern African Development Community (SADC) Protocol on Tribunal and the Rules of Procedure Thereof, thus effectively recognising and accepting the jurisdiction of the SADC Tribunal. Among the cases received by the SADC Tribunal was a complaint involving allegations of human rights violations by the government of Zimbabwe. It ruled that the government of Zimbabwe had violated human rights. Consequently, Zimbabwe mounted a politico-legal challenge against the existence of the Tribunal. This resulted in the review of the role and functions of the Tribunal in 2011 which resulted in the Tribunal being barred from receiving new cases or proceeding with the cases that were already before it. Furthermore, on 18 August 2014, the SADC Summit adopted and signed the 2014 Protocol on the Tribunal in the SADC which disturbingly limits personal jurisdiction by denying individual access to the envisaged Tribunal, thus reducing it to an inter-state judicial forum. This article critically looks at the decision of 18 August 2014, specifically the legal implications of the Republic of South Africa’s signing of the 2014 Protocol outside the permissible procedure contained in article 37 of the SADC Protocol on the Tribunal. It proposes that South Africa should correct this democratic deficit by introducing public participation in treaty-making processes in order to prevent a future situation where the executive unilaterally withdraws from an international treaty that is meant to protect human rights at a regional level. To achieve this, this article makes a comparative study between South Africa and the Kingdom of Thailand to learn of any best practices from the latter.

Water plays a very important role in supporting human life and other living beings as goods that meet public needs. Water is one of the declared goods controlled by the state as mentioned in the constitution of the republic of Indonesia. The state control over water indicated that water management can bring justice and prosperity for all Indonesian people. However, in fact, water currently becomes a product commercialized by individuals and corporations. It raised a question on how the government responsibility to protect the people's right to clean water. This study found that in normative context, the government had been responsible in protecting the people’s right over the clean water. However, in practical context, it found that the government had not fully protected people's right over clean water. The government still interpreted the state control over water in the form of creating policies, establishing a set of regulations, conducting management, and also supervision.

The article considers the political aspect of land reform in the Republic of Zimbabwe. The problem of land reform has been one of the crucial ones in the history of this African country, which celebrated 40 years of independence on April 18, 2020. In recent decades, it has been constantly in the spotlight of political and electoral processes. The land issue was one of the key points of the political program from the very beginning of Robert Mugabe’s reign in 1980. The political aspect of land reform began to manifest itself clearly with the growth of the opposition movement in the late 1990s. In 2000–2002 the country implemented the Fast Track Land Reform Program (FTLRP), the essence of which was the compulsory acquisition of land from white owners without compensation. The expropriation of white farmers’ lands in the 2000s led to a serious reconfiguration of land ownership, which helped to maintain in power the ruling party, the African National Union of Zimbabwe – Patriotic Front (ZANU – PF). The government was carrying out its land reform in the context of a sharp confrontation with the opposition, especially with the Party for the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC), led by trade union leader Morgan Tsvangirai. The land issue was on the agenda of all the election campaigns (including the elections in July 2018); this fact denotes its politicization, hence the timeliness of this article. The economic and political crisis in Zimbabwe in the 2000–2010s was the most noticeable phenomenon in the South African region. The analysis of foreign and domestic sources allows us to conclude that the accelerated land reform served as one of its main triggers. The practical steps of the new Zimbabwean president, Mr. Emmerson Mnangagwa, indicate that he is aware of the importance of resolving land reform-related issues for further economic recovery. At the beginning of March 2020, the government adopted new regulations defining the conditions for compensation to farmers. On April 18, 2020, speaking on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the independence of Zimbabwe, Mr. E. Mnangagwa stated that the land reform program remains the cornerstone of the country’s independence and sovereignty.
