The United Nations ad hoc tribunals in the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda had primacy over national judicial agents for crimes committed in these countries during the most notorious civil wars and genocide of the 1990s. The UN Charter granted the Security Council the right to establish a tribunal for Yugoslavia in the context of ongoing civil war and against the will of recalcitrant national agents. The Council used that same right to punish individuals responsible for a genocide that it failed earlier to prevent in Rwanda. In both cases the Council delegated a portion of its coercive title to independent tribunal agents, thereby overriding the default locus of punishment in the world order: sovereign states.

The world order based on Yalta and Potsdam decisions as well as on two nuclear superpowers infighting has filed as a history. What is coming up to take its place? A correlation between power and law in international policy, national sovereignty and supranational institutions, territorial integrity of states and the right of nations to self-determination, bloc infighting atavisms, so called "double standard" and international interventions – these are critical debating points that the author develops his own approach to. The role of the U.S. in world policy, and the foreign policy choice of Russia are also examined.

This article examines the thought and career of Nabeyama Sadachika (1901–79) from communist militant in 1920s Japan to his conversion to the emperor system in the 1930s and, finally, to his role in shaping the postwar anti-communist movement. Using Nabeyama's recently released private papers, the article shows how he brokered his anti-communist expertise to a range of postwar actors and institutions—the police, the Self-Defense Forces, business circles, politicians—as well as to foreign states, especially the Republic of China (Taiwan). These networks indicate that important sections of Japan's postwar establishment rallied behind anti-communism in the face of reforms that threatened their power at home and their vision for Japan in the world order after 1945. As a transwar history, this article adds to our understanding of Japan's transition from the age of empire to that of liberal democracy by qualifying narratives about the “progressive” nature of postwar Japanese politics. It argues that the vitality of anti-communism is symptomatic of the durability of particular political traditions, and reveals that, despite the significant reforms that Japan underwent after 1945, the Right was able to claim a space in the country's political culture that has been neglected by historians.

Academic discourse on global justice is at an all-time high. Within ethics and international law, scholars are undertaking new inquiries into age-old questions of building a just world order. Ethics – within political and moral philosophy – poses fundamental questions about responsibilities at the global level and produces a tightly reasoned set of frameworks regarding world order. International law, with its focus on legal norms and institutional arrangements, provides a path, as well as illuminates the obstacles, to implementing theories of the right or of the good. Yet despite the complementarity of these two projects, neither is drawing what it should from the other. The result is ethical scholarship that often avoids, or even misinterprets, the law; and law that marginalizes ethics even as it recognizes the importance of justice. The cost of this avoidance is a set of missed opportunities for both fields. This article seeks to help transform the limited dialogue between philosophers and international lawyers into a meaningful collaboration. Through a critical stocktaking of the contributions of the two disciplines, examining where they do and do not engage with the other, it offers an appraisal of the causes and costs of separation and an argument for an interdisciplinary approach.

The article Visual picture of the world in the reflection of modern media is a part of the scientific work devoted to the analysis of the methods of disclosure of the plurality of meanings by means of visualise and ways of their influence on the viewer's perception. The analysis offered for discussion of questions allows to trace in a new way process of search of expressiveness of screen culture, including off-screen media content and art projects. We also consider how with the advent of computer technology, modern media, United in a single screen culture, seek to reflect the picture of the rapidly changing world in its mosaic, in the development of end-to-end time. Special attention is paid to the visual form of plastic images of cinema and television, which largely predetermined the path of development of visual perception of the world through sensory knowledge of the global process-taking place in the world. The author highlights the question of how the screen directs a person on the path of solving problems on links/trailers, lifehacks / commercials, running lines, while providing the right to choose, and new judgments, sometimes non-trivial, and sometimes false. Revealing the connections of new communicative means the author offers the concept of the birth of a new civilization, where online communication, information exchange, media messages, various formats-not just a way to change the transmission of information, but civilization with its own laws and rules of communication, with a new language, based on technical and English language terms, expanding the possibility of merging different cultural layers, with its philosophy and aesthetics, where visualization is a way to control the viewer's attention. Various forms of editing in its broadest sense become the main "bridge"of the whole" composition" of the world order, where the division into the size of the event series, media persons is decisive.

Over the past 50 years, human civilization has been developing at an incredible pace. A special role is played here by technological progress which made an improbable jump. Progress led to the fact that along with the evolution of people, also technologies evolve, at the same time gradually being ahead of the creators. Rather natural it is possible to consider the fact that technologies take root in all spheres of human activity today, thereby it is qualitative them improving. The process of implementation of technologies, in the different public relations, has the name digitalization. It should be noted that though it also is directed to improvement and simplification of human activity in various spheres, at the same time itself the world order becomes more difficult, despite high-quality transformations, now for everyone there is a need to understand the difficult principles of work of the latest technologies. It is also promoted by the fact that innovations every day become more difficult and available. Digitalization became one of the basic elements of the world process of globalization what for example statistics of the UN according to which, in 2019 about 4.1 billion people what makes more than 53% of all population of the planet, are Internet users confirms. Also, various researchers predict that in the next 10 years a large number of professions, in the most various areas, will disappear, and work will be performed by smart mechanisms. However, the emergence of new professions, in the fields of science, creativity, management, and other spheres in which the person will always be a necessary component is also predicted. Against the background of so innovations, the fact of the increase in demand for education is logical and quite justified. Also, requirements for quality, availability, and compliances of education to modern needs of mankind grow. It is important that education is a question of mainly state competence today, for example, Article 53 of the Constitution of Ukraine guarantees everyone the right to education. Considering it and the corresponding trends of development of humanity, a digitalization of education is a logical and natural vector of development of this sphere that experience of the leading countries of the world also testifies to. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate whether really the digitalization of education is necessary for Ukraine, having the analyzed process of technical improvement and the experience of other countries that already have considerable achievements in this sphere. Keywords: technological advancement, technologies, digitalization, innovations, education, digitalization of education.
